(Some) Blacks are once again trying to take credit for white inventions. Here are a few lie's that have been told.

1. Traffic Signal/Garrett Morgan 1923 WRONG!
Invented in London in 1868 by JP Knight
2. Peanut Butter/George Washigton Carver WRONG again! Peants are native to the world and have been mashed into paste by the Aztecs. "Peanut Butter comes from the US patent#306727 issued to Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Quebec Canada
The Blood Bank/ Charles Drew 1940, WRONG!!
It was Dr. Oswald H Robertson US Army during WW 1
Air Brakes/Granville Woods 1922...WRONG again!
George Westinghouse in 1869 US Patent#88929

Not one single example of a black invention...only two that were improvements NOT the invention.

The list goes on and on of these extreme exgaggerations. White men invented nearly everything we use, medical, mechanical, math & science. It angers me that they are trying to steal from our culture to boost their own. A people who high-tech in their native land is fire

And don't say its because of 9/11 or Terrorism. This has been going on for MUCH longer. The Koran is a peaceful text that does not advocate violence against other religions. In fact it says to respect them and recognizes the Bible and Torah as sacred texts also. Bad publicity by the early Christian church? For being the largest religion in the world it seem that few people actually understand it.

I don't know if anyone has read or watched this story but I am appalled!!! With all of the atrocities that young american teens are committing I have to ask what is going wrong with parenting these days? Why are children acting in such an amoral fashion?

what the hell kind of a sick f%ck, omniscient, omnipotent deity would deliberately create an entity that exists for no other reason than to torture people who don't bow down to it in fealty?

How is this different in any way from the kids who recently caught a kitten and set it on fire just to watch it suffer?

from what i heard muslims believe that jesus wasnt crusified, he was sent to heaven, all of him, so he wasnt buried on earth. they think that jesus will come down later on, so why dont cristians believe that. i mean they love jesus right, that means they should be glad that he'll come back, thats hope right, so i dont know why dont they?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Have you ever heard of this concept?
How can anyone DEMAND to be treated with respect if they do not treat others with that same respect?
Why do you insult the very society you are asking to accept you?

Will some Christians ever see the bible for the piece of fiction that it is?

I love to use the stories of Noah and Job to illustrate how ridiculous and absurd the bible is.

Would a deity really murder a man's family to test his love? Come on!!!! Use some common sense people.

So am I correct in assuming that only God, Himself, standing in front of you, and stating the obvious that most humans know, for you to accept the bible is creative fiction.


Some metaphors and parables with not much else useful.

Where's a good place to find the right group for you? Many of the people in my church seem very shallow and close minded. For instance, I bring up questions and they don't have very intelligent answers. I don't want to be mean but it's how I feel. I experienced this off and on growing up getting all excited about reading the bible then to be disappointed because the answers I would get to my questions were not even answers! I knew a guy who was pretty profound and he was thorough and very personal about it. I hope to find a group that can be exciting to go to.

I was reading the answers to another question on Mormons...and someone brought up that they disagree with the Book of Mormon because it contradicts the Bible. I would like to know How people see the Book of Mormon (nothing else just the Book of Mormon) contradicts the Bible. Thanks.

I would agree with this statement if it was a hundred years ago. If this were true abortion would be illegal, no rated R movies or porn, no explicit lyrics in music, no sex education in schools, being gay would be a crime. and this lists could go on and on. Each generation becomes more liberal in their beliefs as a whole. I am not a religious person and do not see this.

Isaiah 48:12, "Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He,I am the first, I am also the last."

In that verse, God says that he is the first and the last....but in

Revelation 1:17 "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.'"
Revelation 1:18 "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."


Jesus is claiming to be the First and the Last... what do u guys make of this?

Every day that I log on to answers I am amazed at how many people don't really know what a cult is. What is even more disturbing is they don't know what a Christian cult is.

I often discredit and expose the Jehovas Witness and Mormons as Christian cults. In defense of these organizations people will shoot back and tell me organized religon is a cult or that diffrent Christian denomanations are cults.

They hate the word cult so much yet they really have no clue what it means. They can't even tell you what a Christian cult is.

Is there anyone out there who knows what a cult or Christian cult is? Please tell me someone does!

So why all of a sudden is it the Catholic Church that is being called so rude? Before this article came out and the news twisted it to suit it's anti-Catholic agenda, people on this site have said all kinds of rude things about Catholics straight from their church leaders mouth, including we are from Satan and the whore of Babylon and all that so this is light weight stuff I would think. This article really lends credence to the term "The Truth Hurts" don't it?

Who is going to protect it from the far right? Now a Louisiana madam has said Senator Vitter did business with her also. Of course he is one of the true champions of the sanctity of marriage.
