Isn't that a failure of the imagination? What do we mean when we say we are made in God's image? Do we imagine that God has nostrils and breathes? If so, what does he breathe? Air? Where is the air? Air with oxygen in it? No other planet in the solar system has oxygen except the Earth. Why restrict God to a few places? Why would he need nostrils? What about a navel? Would God have a navel? What about hair? What about a vermiform appendix? What about toes?

Look, guys - I've been on here for a month, now, and I'm sadly addicted, I love it here, and I love you guys and your answers.

This is part question, part plea - PLEASE, PLEASE do not feed the trolls anymore! It makes them worse (I know you've heard this before) - bet even more, I know of people that are reporting you for feeding them!! I don't want any of you people with open minds and kind words getting BANNED from here while the trolls get exactly what they want. I know I'm putting myself on a limb by doing this, but....

Also, please let me know any other ideas, besides ignoring, reporting and blocking that you veterans and smart people might have. Ciao! XOXO

Seriously, it seems that no matter what race, if a hispanic person wears abercrombie & fitch or skater clothes they get looked down upon by black & hispanics for not wearing Ecko/Sean John/Rocawear (or urban wear in general) and white people give them weird looks. Why?

And when it comes to dealing (talking and such), most blacks will talk to hispanics like they come from the 'hood or something, and even other hispanics have this ghetto expectation. Why is it so bad if a hispanic person speaks proper english and chooses to be nothing like that? I know it all has to deal with the area you were raised in, but let's face it not all hispanics are from the barrio or ghetto (or even from another country).

So why is it that when me and my friends (we're all hispanic and rockers, btw), go to NYC and places where there's a high hispanic/blk population, other hispanics and blacks will give us these really bad looks. Just because we're choosing not to be ignorant doesn't make us bad.

In 1890, bible reading was outlawed from Wisconsin schools. Who was responsible? A Roman Catholic family. A Roman Catholic family objected to the exclusive use of the Protestant King James Version of the bible. The court barred all bible reading from Wisconsin public schools. [State ex rel. Weiss vs. District Board, 76 Wisc. 177 (1890)]. Catholicism was a small minority in 19th-century America. It is usually minority groups who need the protection of the Bill of Rights.

The U.S. Supreme Court outlawed student-initiated prayers at high-school football games in 2000. Who were the plaintiffs in that lawsuit? Roman Catholic and Mormon families. The Texas lawsuit was taken by a Catholic family and a Mormon family who had children who were being harassed by the born-again majority in the public schools.

Thoughts on this information?

Troll, Lunatic, Insane in the Membrane and other vile shelly words..

My posts are from articles research on current events, newspapers magazines, and by the way do you understand the Mainstream Media and the Government will do thier best to hide information that does not benefit them from the General Public..I like to spy and find out what they are hiding.
I also don't call Atheists Devil Worshippers when I say Satan I mean Satan is trying to win souls away from GOD, I am surely not saying Atheists are stirring a cauldron while typing on the R&S Site..

I don't agree with everything I post but I think we all need to know what is going on with GOD haters or deniers because millions of people do love GOD and care about the society they live in don't ya think?

Since a lot of people seem to think homosexuality is a choice I want to know when in their life they choose to be heterosexual and why.
