I have faith that whether or not there's a God, I think the universe will unfold as it should....that's my faith...how is that any different from the "faith" that you people have??? I told my good religious friend from high school this, and he said that my faith is not only blind but wrong, but his biblical faith is the truth!!! How could anyone say that to anyone else?!?! I look down upon people who are self righteous....everyone has a right to define their own faith, whether or not its based on some book or not!!!

Isaiah 14:12
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Where did the devil come from? How did such a creature come to be? Did God purposefully create an evil being? Where in the Bible does it reveal the answers to these questions? Can you help me understand why Satan really is the enemy of mankind?

I am from the UK but i keep hearing people complainint that there is a shortage of eligible black males (apparently they are either gay, married or incarcerated lol) and that those that are left dont want black women and want to date other races.

I think people should be free to date who they want by the way, but i just want to hear from those who believe that there is a shortage of black men. If you think there is a shortage please explain how you came to this conclusion

I am not buying it by the way.

PS - apologies if this question is not PC - but sometimes you just have to cut thru the BULL!!

I find it difficult to believe that the concept of disliking the opposite gender applies to men only. And yet I can find no word in the dictionary that seems to fill that role for women. I suppose the question is not just about the etymology, but about the psychological concept that it implies. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might care to post

This is becoming frustrating to me. Everyone claims to know the "true" way. I can't figure it out, and it appears no ones claim can be completely discredited. Whats going on here?

Does anyone REALLY know the true way? If so, please share and tell me why.

Hey. Yesterday we were swimming in gym and there is some work being done to the girls locker room, so the teacher said we had to SHARE - that is boys and girls in one room. I was in disbelief. Can they do this? We ended up being in corners getting changed under towels. it was pretty embarrassing. And it's also quite a big class. Is this legal?

One of my coworkers was talking to me about her family, and how all of her children have graduated from college and are on their own. As a follow up, I asked if she had any grandchildren.
She didn't seem to want to answer.

I don't think this is rude, since she brought up the fact that all of her children are completely grown up and out of the house. But what do you think? Does a question like that somehow imply something negative about her age? Because that's not what I meant at all.

Now I’m trying to learn how to write something like essay and diary in English. My English was already terrible when I decided not to study English anymore 2years ago and to study Chinese instead.
I already know some English grammars but my writing is jumbled somehow.
Does anyone know how a non-native grown-up guy can improve his writing skill?
I wish I had a native speaker mom..haha.
Non commercial suggestions please
