We have flavored mojitos where I work, and the other night a black guy asked me what my favorite flavor was and I said "watermelon is my all time favorite" and he just totally blew up, calling me a racist a** cracker ho and other stuff I can't even mention. He called all the waiters crackers when they threw him out, too. First of all, I really do like watermelon the best.Second, isn't cracker a racist term? Third, isn't the insult "cracker" just absolutely hilarious?

I'm not getting married anytime soon, but I am an atheist and I was wondering how our marriages go about. My family is mostly Catholic so I've been to plenty of Catholic weddings, but would an atheistic wedding have a priest? Just wondering, and let's not be sarcastic because this is one of my few serious questions :)

I have a dillema,

I want to be closer to God, but I have OCD (I'm on medication) and I can't stop thinming negatively. I pray to God to take these thoughts away, but they keep bothering me.

These thoughts are along the lines of "You only want to be close to God for attention", "You don't really believe in God."
"You don't have enough faith" and thoughts that just make me feel down and disappointed.

Then I pray to God to stop them, but when they don't go away, I get really frustrated and don't WANT a relationship.

But I do, yet I can't stop thinking that "All I really want is the IDEA of the religion and relationship" which I'm finding to be true!

But thats not what I trully want or need, and even now, My body automatically "feels down" when I even think about wanting a relationship!

I need help!

P.S: Atheists, I appreciate your concern, but I'm convinced in my own self that there must be a God somewhere. This question is directed at fellow-God followers.

I have tried to be kind and answer questions the best way I know how, but all I am seeing is rudeness in return. I think I will just quit Q&A.

Today my family went to a church sale at a church I have occasionally attended for years. This woman knows me by sight, she does not know anything about me personally. After I had gathered my purchases, my husband ordered us lunch in the building and we sat down for a moment to eat.The dinng area is within the parameters of the church hall and frequently shoppers stop to dine and then go pay. This woman came into the room where my family was dining and visiting and stated " I am taking your purchases to be totaled. I will get a cart." I told her no thank you, that I would pay after my family finished eating. a few minutes later, she came up again and yelled at my husband that she was taking my things NOW.She stated I must be hiding something, or wating for the lower prices. It got loud. My husband offered to let the priest referee. This woman knew my ex-husband and liked him. I never told anyone that my ex-husband hit me and cursed me before I left him. No one's business. Any ideas?

What religion, or a philosophy would I be in if I believe that god(not a specific one), or some sort of a higher power exists, but I dont give it a name. I also believe that every religion ultimately believes in the same thing, but they just call it different names like god, allah etc.

I am just curious what I should call myself, please dont try and tell me that my theory is wrong if you dont agree.

Let's face it, women spent thousands of years submitting to men's demands (many millions still do) and only woke up a mere century ago. What is wrong with them?

I'm working on a project and we have to show where we can find our assigned god/goddess in modern day. It could be anything that has to do with the words Athena, Minerva, owl, or olive tree.

Thanks in advance!

I was watching a show on National Geographic and it was about this group of Christians that held Bible studies in the nude. I was wondering what your opinion on this is?

The Bible says that we must believe and follow the words within the Bible, as does the Khuran, the Torah and the Vedas texts.

How can a follower (Hindu:devotee) of a religion(Relationship with God) believe in something that was written by people.
Humans don't have the best track record for telling the truth?

(i understand islam is a bit different as the texts of the Khuran were mainly transcribed by the prophet or those close to him)
