I don´t care if this costs me 5 points... I am revulsed at the backward, primitive, ignorant, xenophobe and sociopathic attitudes about races.
Who should care about color, language or nation?
Black, white, red, yellow.... most want to prosper in life and live as a happy family.
What you neanderthals think about eyes and color of skin is so wrong that you should go extinct right this minute. The human species will not progress thanks to you.

I was brought up in a Christain envirionment while growing up. Over time, I have lost faith in God due to extreme events that occurred in my life. I often find myself doubting God's existence. Also, I believe people have different interpretations of the bible. I see a lot of Christians, even my family members, constantly using God as a cop out and also to justify their behaviors. (That annoys me!) But, I look at family members, who have accepted God in their life, and they are so happy. I want to be like that.
Does anyone have any encouraging words or advice? (I've tried to go to church but I felt really uncomfortable. I just don't like other people's religious tactics forced on me. When Christians force their beliefs on me, I become more resistant. I really wish people would be more humble than forceful.)

Tibet’s living Buddhas have been banned from reincarnation without permission from China’s atheist leaders. The ban is included in new rules intended to assert Beijing’s authority over Tibet’s restive and deeply Buddhist people.

I am currently a Catholic, but I can't find anymore logic in a man walking on water than the whole scientology story. I do believe in God and have researched Buddhism and was wondering how do I go about converting.

so that it's wrong to say "I'm a Chinese," "I'm a Japanese" or "I'm a British, " "I'm a Scottish," while it's ok to say "I'm Chinese" or "I'm Scottish?"

And if you think that a certain type of marriage is more harmful to marriage than divorce is, please explain. I'd love to hear that.

Thanks!

that don't register on caller id.But the more bothersome thing is the following. I sleep with a sound machine because my husband snores. Whenever my husband goes out of town ( I still use the machine out of habit), a loud interrupting sound happens several times a night on the machine starting at around 2:30 am. My husband suggested it was acting up because it was low on batteries but it plugs in and has no batteries. Also I have tested it by leaving it on during the day to see if it happens and it never does. It has happened once one night when my husband was there and I woke him up right away but of course he didn't hear it- he is a very heavy sleeper. He doesn't go out of town very often but now every timne he does it happens at least 5 times a night. I have never seen a ghost while this happens. Does anyone have any insight?

Does anyone believe that God heals people? Does he heal non-believers? Or does anyone believe sickness is a result of ones own sin? Or is it all rubbish?

I keep seeing readers saying we were all born sinners. One of those old philosophers (Socrates) said we were all born without sin. How can a newborn baby be a sinner when you have to learn sin first. Maybe you and your children were born as sinners. And maybe that's why your so bitter. Or at least that's what your church has you convinced of. The more I hear about religion, the more i'm glad it's your problem to deal with and not mine. Do'nt be so bitter.

This would include "The Lost Books of The Bible and The Forgotten Books of Eden", "The Nag Hammadi Library", and "The Apocrypha."

There are so many brain washed people in the U.S. and religious nuts and the church is such big business are people afraid to speak out on the centuries of made up stories and lies.

I met a guy once, he was convinced he was fully realised.
He kept reading poetry to me and grabbing his Balls and telling me he had 'Tantric Power'. He wanted me to join his followers.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't fully realised.

So what would a fully realised being be like?
How could you tell?
Would there be signs?
Would they talk about it?
What do you think?

Ive read a lot of history books & researched the internet, and Hitler based his views on Darwinism. This is wheregot Hitler got his idea of the "Master Race". If that isnt pure evil i dont know what is.

-please keep all statements short and courteous cause if they are not you are just proving a theory of my own

1 night my bff& I were home alone& in my rent's family room in the basement. We had the 'puter& TV on & was on the phone w/ the lights on. All of a sudden we heard coughing upstairs in the kitchen-it didn't make sense-someone couldn't have com in due to door location. It wasn't a cough we recognized! We both looked& stopped talking. We heard it again! I told my phone call that I thought someone was in the house! I said I had to go& I would call them back. I hung up& said."If someone is in the house we cannot escape from down here." I grabbed a bar knife& she a golf club. We went up the stairs& saw darkness! I tried to turn on lights& it wouldn't work! We came to the sittingroom& went for the light but only darkness! We went threw the house searching the rooms carefully. No one! I called back& he came over! He arrived& looked. But no lights! Only basement had power. My dad came then& I panicked& began telling him he looked at me like I was crazy as he turned on one light after another!
