Ok, I am really serious about this question. It's what I am truly wondering..

What would happen if about 500-1000 black people when into the most dangerous cities and did like a march to abolish violence in the communities. All stood like 5 people next to one another all the way down like : that instead of two it would be five and then it would basically look like this ::::::::. all the way down. It would be making a point that it's about the war's in our inner city. And we must make a battle line to protect ourselves from all the violence. I know for a fact, :( unfortunately in bigger cities there are more violence and black people in there are more involved, obviously we are all concerned about the wellbeing of our community. Would this be a great way to make a point, it's almost artistic. And everyone in the march would be silent. And then the five people standing in the front would hold a picture of Martin Luther King Jr, with the words of "Is this his dream?"

I've seen some devoted folks on here, asking and answering questions.

But, there's also been some odd folks, that seem to copy and paste the most bizarre religious or conspiracy theories.

So, spill the beans...are you as much a religious fanatic online as you are in person or what?

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. . . . For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:1, 3 NIV)
It is of great practical importance to us to know that the Christ who lived again still lives. "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:36), said Peter on the day of Pentecost; and this accorded with our Lord's own words,
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Matthew 28:18), and with the words of Hebrews, "The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven" (8:1).
Not only does He still live, but He can never die again. "For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him" (Romans 6:9).

Well, there is no specific genetic makeup to a Christian, right? Any Christian can say any other Christian, isn't one- Does that make it correct also? After all, lots of Christians have different ideas about what a true Christian IS. Example- Christians often deny Hitler was a Christian- Which doesn't bug me so much, except they always pin him as Atheist, just because he's a bad guy- Not too nice...Anyway.

I can say I'm a plumber, and not be doing it to the standards of other plumbers, so does that not make me a plumber? (I'm not a plumber). Thoughts?

Us African-Americans/Ebony are the most hated race in America why is that? We are humans to just like other human-beings on this planet, I get kinda sad bc here in America we are the most hated race that ppl don't like us. God made ppl with diffrent skin colors, shape, hieght and etc.

What would you do if Every human-being on earth look the same, Skin color, height, weight shape?

As an organist I've played lots of weddings and funerals. But today was different. Usually the widow(-er) in the front row is about 80 years old and the family feels that "he/she led a nice full life."

But today I played a funeral and that widow in the front row was only 22-years-old, holding their 6-month-old infant in her arms.

How do you view that with regard to your religious beliefs? Christian, Pagan, Jewish, etc... all thoughts welcome!

I am a college student who sometimes finds it hard to afford to pay for medical things I need (doctor visits, prescriptions, etc). It just makes me mad to see that people in prision who have often done some horrible things get all this world class medical care at no cost to them. Why should this happen when I've always tried to be a good person and they obviously haven't? A good example is from the movie Sicko when it is brought up that the terrorists in Guantanamo get numerous exams, mri's, and even surgery for free.

I haven't been to church for almost 5 years and my friend invited me to a college bible study. I have never been to one before. I still do believe in God and his teachings, but I feel like I have lost touch. Should I even go to the study, even though I do not have a bible to bring or know the passages well?

The reason for the flood was to destroy all the wicked and nephilim who were the "sons of angels who had materialized and mated with the daughters of men". In other words, they were giants, and they were bad men, so this is when God destroyed the wicked in the earth with a flood, right?

Genesis chapters 7 & 8 tell us: The deluge came within the sixth hundredth year of Noah’s life and continued into his six hundred and first year of life. Chapter 6 goes on to tell us: “Now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, then the sons of the true God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.

Observing marriage practiced among mankind, especially involving good-looking womenfolk, they let themselves go to desiring sex life on earth with women for themselves.
