I've noticed this a lot this year. Racist N*zi and KKK members saying stupid crap on the Internet but don't have enough courage to say it face to face to a real colored person. Is this a growing trend?

why is it that we find everythying offensive?
WHY CANT WE JUST FORGET AND IGNORE who cares what people say and think about muslims.let them.who the hell cares.is their opinion [especially nonmuslims] gonna effect how u live ur life.why let it.
im muslim too and im getting sick to the back teeth of people mostly on telly getting annoyed about everything...
im like most of the muslims [who u dnt see on cnn or fox news] id like everything to be normal and calm and bring back christmas lightssss no im not offended if u celebrate christmas .
sometimes i think governments make it a point to deliberatly do something and say that itl cause offence to muslims so thats why we are not doin this....when really they are just tryin to get the public even more annoyed with us.

I know there are many protestant denominations, there is a catholic and a few orthordox churches.

If someone believes in Jesus in the sense of Salvation through christ alone does the rest matter.

Seriously, does prayers to the saints, infant baptisim, sprinkle or immerse, women pastors or not.

Fully believe the bible or believe it needs to be interpreted by church history and tradition.

Confession or not.

It the core is the same does the rest matter.

If by believing in Jesus you are saved the rest is not an issue as it has then no impact on salvation.

If that is the case why is the protestant chruch so divided, didnt Jesus say that you would know the true chruch because it wouldnt split.

any ideas??

Love and hate are no longer necessary.
Marriage is prohibited.
Love (have sex) with the person you are with at the time. (same sex,opposite sex whatever).
Nobody expects anything from anyone else.
There is no after-life so live for today.
would you move to a community like this to be with others who practice the same philosophy?

There are no rules or consequences to your actions, therefore, no need for guilt.

How do these compare to "Oh God!" and the other George Burns movies, "Jesus Christ Superstar", "The Passion of the Christ" etc...

I don't mean genre, I know some of these titles are comedies, dramas, musicals, etc...

John describes his experience in Rev. 1:12-18

12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man,"[b]dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

Deep down inside i feel as if i am not the christian i ought to be. I started my christian walk 3 years ago for 1 and 1/2 year i fell off course, i have recommited my life to God but for some strange reason i feel as if there is still something missing or wrong i feel empty and sometimes feel as if i want to give up. Yeah, God has given me a new job and a finance but i still feel as if there is someting missing.

I try studying my bible and just dont seem to be recording or get much understanding. And alot of people say that i am selfish and that is not a characteristic of a christian. I want to be drawn closer to God, I to burn with a passion for Christ..............BUT HOW!!!!

Hair looks good, awesome, and stylish to make them feel less insecure about their hair? I want them to feel good about their hair type. How do I do it? I've heard that black females are insecure about their type of hair so they require a lot of attention. Why? Are they sensitive about their hair type? Do they need someone to always tell them how good it looks? Will they get annoyed at someone always telling them their hair looks good, awesome, and stylish? I want to understand them more. Please help!

No, I'm not a racist. I know black females. I work with black females.

Pride or unbelief? Jesus came to take away the sin of the world. What sin? not sins.

I think I am curse but it's minor. Since a couple years ago, I have always found strands of hair in my food, it does not seem accidental anymore since it happens everyday. Like today, I found a strand of another person's hair embedded in this cake. It's not only my family's hair but other people's hair as well. I know that humans shed hair but my family never had it this frequently, maybe twice in a year. How can remove this curse?

I realize that most of you, given national demographics, are living in urban jungles or just on the periphery of one.

When you talk of "get out and do things" you are, of course, talking about all the services and amenities of living in a city.

But when I walk out, I am in the middle of several thousand square miles of forest and farmland, dotted by tiny teensy towns where half the residents are in retirement homes, a quarter have yet to graduate high school and the other quarter are, primarily, married.

For some of us, -this- is "our community". Coming here is "getting out" and socializing. We make friends, share triumphs and tragedies, here.

There are many benefits to country living, but being able to easily socialize with like-minded others is not one of them.

What do you say?

The supposedly Christian church that I go to has gotten so mired down in politics, personal friendships, and personal animosities that I feel I'm just better off to stay home, and read the Bible, and ignore these folks.

I choose not to walk down the street with a gay guy or lesbian because of two reasons. One I don't want anyone thinking I'm that way or I believe in that lifestyle and Two no guy is going to look at me if I'm walking down the street with a gay guy. Should I be friends with a gay guy or female even if I don't believe in their lifestlye and Am I wrong for not befriending a gay guy or female?
