I say this not with the intentions to belittle any group. I say this to show you how powerful knowledge is, and how stupid it is to buy into the agenda. This is especially for the racist people who use this as their main argument as to why blacks are inferior. I will not go deeper into it, but I am doing a nationwide study, and it is true in every state so far. In Washington, white women make up 75% of the welfare demographic. Expand your mind....
Did you know?

why do some people prevent other people to know the real truth about Catholicism and what it teaches?
why do people spread so much hate against the Church? what can anyone gain from it?
what's with the accusation of idolatry?
do those people really studied what Catholicism is all about?
I bet they didn't.

Funny how the day the crash site was found it ended up in all the news everywhere. Reports of alien craft and bodies, maybe one of them alive. Then the next day, total cover up. The real answer is the alive alien took contol of the military by mind control and has worked his way up to the top. Then sent for all of his friends. It was the quitest hostile take over in history. oooooo, what do we do now?

Isn't "good" and "evil" relative? I mean, there isn't some overwhelming consensus on what is "good" or "evil/bad", so...
Just...
How is it that one person, one religion, one law says something is "bad", yet the next disagrees. And, in all cases they all have a substantial number of followers. I'm not asking who is right, rather how is "right"?

...ago and for a very good reason: I saw my mom die of emphisema. Now I dislike it a lot. My husband smokes but from the very beginning I told him I didn't like him to smoke in the car because it's a close space. He doesn't do it and he's very careful where he smokes.
But, when we go visit his family and we go places in my brother-in-law's car, the first thing my B-I-L does after he gets in the car, is light a cigarette. The problem is, that he does it with all the windows closed because either the air conditioning or the heating is on. He's in the front with his wife in the passenger's seat and my husband and I sit in the back and all the smoke seems to get on our faces. I just can't stand it, I start coughing and I really need to open the window in order to breathe. Something not nice when it's 20 degrees below zero in Michigan.
He's a very nice guy and I don't want to offend him. Any ideas how I can tell him to stop smoking in the car? I think it's not healthy for anybody.

Okay this isn't meant to be a bashfest and it's not a bad thing but has anyone noticed that Catholics seem to be wild partiers out of church. It's funny because they seem the most traditional and strict but I have quite a few friends that are Catholic and they are wild. They drink a ton and party like crazy which I never would have expected. I just found it funny because before I would have thought of Catholics as very clean cut and strict.

where did Martin Luther stole the Bible, that they are now using, from? before Martin Luther decided to edit it?
FYI, Martin Luther chose some passages that only agree with what he wants to believe in, so he took away the passages that don't agree to what he wants to believe in like the Maccabees and Tobit.

im a teenager and a catholic. i find it difficult to stay focused and inspired during mass. i find it tedious. oftentimes the homilies arent very thought-provoking. but when i watch tv i see all these churches where its so energetic, people are really into it, and basically its just more passionate. i guess i dont really have a question, but just want some input on what people like/dislike about their church in general

"Misconception #4: Islam degrades women
Even though many aspects of Islam are misunderstood by non-Muslims, the ignorance, misinformation and incorrect assumptions that are made in regards to Islam's treatment of women are probably the most severe. Numerous verses of the Qur'an make it clear that men and women are equal in the site of God. According to the teachings of Islam, the only thing that distinguishes people in the site of God is their level of God-consciousness. Due to this, many people are surprised to find out that Islamic Law guaranteed rights to women over 1400 years ago that women in the Europe and America only obtained recently. For example, Islam clearly teaches that a woman is a full-person under the law, and is the spiritual equal of a male.Also, according to Islamic Law, women have the right to own property, operate a business and receive equal pay for equal work.

even after death?
For some reason I think our physical inadequacies won't matter that much but our inner beauty, which for me also includes one's intellectual capabilities (which arguably is no different than the gift of physical beauty), would be more everlasting. To be totally honest some of us are dumber than others and some of us gain less intellectually from this world than others. Would these matter or would we all get a different self totally from within and out?

Do you use a razer, if so, how many blades? with shaving cream, soap or conditioner? Or do you use an electric Shaver, which brand? or maybe you use liquid hair remover or wax, possibly even scissors for the trim. You do remove the hair right?
You may be wondering what this is doing in religion, well, I know how much Jesus liked to make parables, so I am making a parable, this one is easy to figure out, what could I possibly be making a bad parable of? :}

" Former US TV evangelist Tammy Faye Messner died after a battle with colon cancer"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6910506.stm
"She divorced Jim Bakker after sex & corruption scandals led to the Praise The Lord's network collapse, but was not charged herself."
" Messner had been diagnosed with colon cancer in '96. Later, the cancer spread to her lungs"
" Asked by Larry King if she had regrets, she said: "I don't think about it, because it's a waste of good brain space"
" They got their break on TV evangelist Pat Robertson's (net worth: $200 - $1000 millions) show."
" The ministry boasted a hotel, a shopping mall, theme park and other facilities.
" Bakker left PTL after admitting an affair in 1987, and was later imprisoned for 5 years on fraud charges. Messner divorced him in '92"
"She later married Christian construction magnate Roe Messner, who served 2 years in prison for fraud related to PTL"
