why some people believe every word of it?

At the time, I didn't really think anything of it cause I attended focus (it was a youth ministry that wasn't direct with the school, but we met once a week in the cafeteria to hang out) but now that I think of it...that was just like....so uncool. If I could go back, I would have probably politely refused to accept it (really, I've got two more at home already before this).

But anyway, what do you think about this? Was this pushing it a little too far even if the school didn't actually set up the program, but it was someone's personal project in the graduating class?

From: thachu5

Subject: religion

Message: You believe in the soft qualities because youare a soft person, you really don t need any religion to be who you are, go ahead and influence people by being a good person, all human hearts created by god are only good, its the ourside world that teaches hatred, i am better than you attitude and the brain follows these stupid things, if we all follow our hearts we will see love and peace on earth. Do not spread the word, no one wants it, be the word thats what humans want. Religions had caused a lot of damage to mankind. God sent man without a name , he did not even gives cloths, we are all born naked, but the worldly things teach us to be muslims, shiats and sunnis, hindu , chirstina rich poor, high and low. A real religious person does not live for a name, he does not live for any identity. So be who you want to be believe me you will answer god in being who you are, when we deny ourselves then we are denying the expression of god within us. God does no twant anyone to spread the word, he wanted us only to be who we are, in doing so we will appreciate in each other god' s presence. God does not want people to market his words. If you are a good natured person your goodness will be understood by the deaf, dumb and the blind. If a blind man feels your presence without not even hearing you ,rremmeber you have mastered the art of communication to god.

...in order to recover your property.

So, as a teenager there was a dude in my neighborhood with a penchant for steeling property. My friend believed his bike was in this guy's trunk. He wanted to bust in and take it, but not in front of the guy's house.

Since I was the only one with the skill set to move this car (83 Cutlass or something) from the vicinity, I was enlisted to help.

So, we drove the car down the street, busted the trunk open, and removed the stolen property.

I then left the car across from the local police precinct, opened all the doors, the trunk, and the hood, and left on the hazard lights.

Police found the car. Apparently, the guy had a bag of coke in his glove and when the police found the registration, they went knocking on his door. The charges didn't stick because the vehicle was "stolen" and anyone could have planted the drugs in the glove box.

So, in light of the facts, did I commit a sin?

I go based on exactly what the Bible tells us. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no man comes to the Father except through Him. We need to follow what the word of God tells us. Some would say that it is "over spiritual"...but wouldn't you be over spritual and go to heaven than not enough and go to hell? It's by God's grace and through His blood that we are saved.

Over the last year and a half, whenever my husband and I go out to dinner with my parents, we have either picked up the check or my step-father insists on splitting the bill. Even when they have suggested and planned the dinner out.

It has gotten to be embarassing because my step-father is loud about it (splitting the bill). I don't want to avoid going out with them but I don't know how to broach the subject with them.

My sister even called me and asked what the deal was. Our parents asked to meet for lunch and then dad made a big display about who would be on his bill. He included one grandchild but not the other (cousins not siblings). The ten year old did not understand and was hurt.

Our parents are much better off financially than either of us.

I love Black Friday. I mostly do shopping for my daughter and I usually spend about $450 for her and then I'll have a Secret Santa for my friends and my family so I get those two gifts which will have a limit. But even with the Secret Santa, I'll get my Mom, Dad and Brother a gift...so all in all I may spend about $550-$600.

What if a bunch of my friends studied it as well and came to the same (or similar enough) conclusions, would that mean we were right?

What if another, smaller group of guys studied the same thing, but came to much different conclusions... would my group be right, especially if we outnumbered them by a large amount, simply because there's more of us than them?

What if the norm was people dancing to the music (actually excited that they were going to live forever) and every Sunday there were many people healed of cancer, blindness, all kinds of sickness and diseases. There is no alcohol to be found but by the way people are acting you would think they had tapped a couple of kegs. Would you attend a Church that had all this going on?

First of all, let me say that I am non-denominational and I can respect everybody's opinion. I just get a little confused when I read posts on here where people say there isn't a God. There isn't a heaven. There isn't a hell. Me personally, I know that God is real. In 1995, I was hit by a semi-truck on the freeway and it totalled my car. I was on a bridge when this happened and I can clearly remember the car almost being tossed over the bridge, but the guardrail was there. I remember seeing my entire life flash before my eyes. I could see imagines of me, my parents, my brother and other family members. There were no words, but just images of things that had happen in my life up until that point. When all of the action finally slowed down, I saw that both airbags had came out and the car was demolished. I walked out of the car with no broken bones and no cuts and bruises. I was a little shooken up and I had some fine glass particles on me, but that's it. But God isn't real?

I hate racism! I'm sick of being treated as a second class citizen! Why should I be subjected to being treated like this because I live in a predominantly 'white' country & wasn't born white? Not everyone is racist, but there ARE racists living among us. Living in a country, where people on tv, in magazines, in ads seem to be 95% of the time white, & where other ethnicities are only represented when they are stereotyped (an Indian meditating, a Chinese doing martial arts..).. this has left me outraged, feeling like an outcast, always wondering if people are judging me on my ethnicity! I am essentially afraid of white people being racist against me! This is because i have only been subjected to racism by white people. I shouldn't have to be afraid in my own country!
Why are people so ignorant & truly believe in 'white power'? What is wrong with being non-white? Why are people unable to accept that this world is made up of many races & that not everyone speaks english??
