Society & Culture - 8 September 2007

I think it was the first. And surprising, that there seemed to be no controversy.
:-)

I asked this question before, and people said he was white. But no, he wasn't white. He was a tan-skinned, black-haired Cuban man. Some Cubans are white, just as some Mexiacns are white. But Arnaz wasn't.

Have you ever seen Mambo Kings? It might be hard to tell that Arnaz is not white on the old black and white programs, but The Mambo Kings is in color. Pretty easy to tell there.

Anyways, I just thought it is interesting that they should have had an interracial couple on the television show so long ago, and there was no controversy.

Am I missing out? I dont drink or smoke and am not looking to have sex with people I dont know, so am I missing? Since I'm not interested in those things I'm not sure what I would do at a party. But it seems like everyone is doing it and I'm weird for not.

Both of these are visible on a comparably micro- scale (such as disappearing beach cliffs and earthquakes), but aren't proven on a macro- scale - we've never seen mountains completely disappear, or something like grand canyon get carved, or the continents be rearranged.

However, most scientists believe these things can occur.

99.85% of Earth and Life scientists think the theory of evolution is valid.

Answer me this - do you "believe" in (a) massive-scale erosion, (b) plate tectonics on the Pangaea-scale, and (c) the theroy of (macro) evolution?

Reformers Unanimous? Its a great program, Bible based, and praising God, to set people free from Addictions and Strongholds. If you want more information...just let me know. There is probably one near you. If you have tried at "12 Step" program and you still aren't free....then maybe it's time to try God, and get free, Finally!!!! Here's the link..www.reformu.com

If the soul dies when the body dies, how could the "souls" of Revelation 6:9-11, who were of those who had been "slain", cry out "with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord..."?

when you tell me that I chose to be gay? You'd think I'd know, right? Not to mention that it's a well established fact in psychology, based upon studies. Why can't you just accept the truth?

cash and it all slows down? It talks about the need for "faster money" Does this mean we are headed for a "cashless society" as mentioned in Revelations?

Rev 13:16 & 17 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

How many of you think he/she needs a life, and obviously doesn't have a life so they waste their time on here trying to type the most controversial topics to get negative attention, which they take as postive because it's the only kind of attention they are ever going to get?? He/She, really needs help. I am saying that with great concern... Oh, and go ahead and say racist comments toward me. It is obviously the only think you know how to say in that pea sized brain of yours.

What about a low-cal guilt religion where God doesn't want to kill you if you sin ? I sinned and told God I was sorry and He made me feel washed completely and I started smiling and laughing because I was so freaking happy He loved me that much......since then I havent beat myself up about ANYTHING Ive done wrong....why should I ? Jesus washed and forgave me....and now Im cruising along with Him smiling and worshipping Him....

I have a tele but I don't watch it. I mostly spend my time on my laptop. I can catch shows online and movies online so the tele isn't my thing anymore. What about you?

Why do some of you people (creationists) talk down to evolution as though it were impossible, saying its "just a theory"? Have you really looked into evolution and compared it with creationism?

Lets get this cleared up:

Evolution - Theory = A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena

Creationism - Hypothesis = Something taken to be true for the purpose of argument or investigation; an assumption

I'm not trying to talk down to some of you, I just want to know why you believe what you believe. I would like to learn someone else's viewpoint. Does creating the universe in 6 days and making man from dirt, etc. really compare to hundreds of millions of years of speciation/mutations via evolution?

The KJV does not match anything when compared to Greek reference text, Greek interliniary or any Bible that can actually let you compare the origional version to the KJV.

Since your faith is understood by reading the bible why don't most prople care to understand and read the ancient Greek?
