whats so different about Jewish people? what makes them so hated? we are the 21st century you would expect people to be a bit more civilised by now but no, if somebody Jewish walks in the street wearing the star of david , young and older people will make remarks such as 'jew boy/girl' or 'dirty jew'. im assuming these people are quite uneducated (correct me if I'm wrong) and when i say Jewish people i dont want you to imagine a person with a long nose, curly hair, black hat and ropes because they are very religious jews and are very rare nowadays, i want you to imagine a normal person just like you. do you think anybody has the right to humiliate and ridicle a normal person just because of the sheer fact that they are jewish . so tell me if you knew somebody was Jewish , would you treat them differently? Yes you can answer honestly . Thanks.

My grandmother used to say ,"take off your duds" when she wanted you to take off your coat & hat. She'd tell about going to the "funeral parlor" when she meant the "funeral home." She referred to her scarf as her "babooshka." When she cleared the table after a meal. she said she was going to "rid" up the table. It's funny how certain things stick with us as we grow older

Can a god actually punish me even if they are all powerful? Let us assume that there is beyond a shadow of a doubt a god and that he/she/it is very angry and will punish me. Can that god truly punish me? The purpose of the punishment (i.e., hell.) is to make me miserable for angering the god. However, if I find enjoyment in the punishment, don’t I win?

A lot of people celebrate Christmas who aren't active in any church or religion, sometimes to be with family/friends, sometimes to satisfy family/friends, sometimes for the comfort that time of year can bring people, sometimes just for presents...
So, if one who doesn't actively go to church or participate in religion can celebrate Christmas for reasons other than biblical, I thought to myself, then do some atheists too?
Afterall, people are just people.
(I am a very open minded person - answer freely.)

I asked a member of the public if there was anything they'd like to ask me and they asked for a hug

Would I have been better to request she put it in writing and she would receive a decision within 21 working days or just move in for the hug?

For those who feel that they were forced into a majority(nonpagan) religion at a young age, when you found your pagan path were you angry at the religion that you were forced into for the time that it cost you in your true path? If you were, how did you deal with it and how did you deal with the sense of saddness at the time lost??

THIS QUESTION IS FOR PAGANS!!!!!!!!

My wife is a teacher, she just got a new 7 year old student in her 1st grade class. The parents have been "home schooling" the little girl. She should be in 3rd grade, but she is educated to a pre-kindergarten level, so they "dropped" her in 1st grade. She has a 4 letter name, and can't spell it. She doesn't even know her abc's. No, she is not mentally handicapped, just not a lick of education.

The mom said that she tried buying the girl the little workbooks from the teacher store, but the girl didn't do anything with them. Hello, the girl can't read, not a letter, how do you think she is going to do anything in a workbook?

I feel so bad for this girl, she is so far behind that, even with being two grades lower than she should be, she will never catch up. She can't be blamed, how can she learn anything when her so-called "home-schooling parents" don't teach anything!?!

I believe in this healing power coming from God. Jesus was a healer and He told his disciples to continue His work. Would you agree we have healers among us like this man?

Since being an atheist means, you have no religion, you believe in no higher power, etc, than why do so many atheists ask and answer questions in the "religion and spirituality" section??!

Ok...so I see a lot of people talking about Mormon's "magic underwear" not even knowing what the heck it's about.

The "magic underwear" is actually a t-shirt and shorts that we wear under our regular clothes.

Does that help you out any?

Like pendants worn by early Christians for protection by God, the "magic underwear" works the same way....but we just wear it under our clothes instead of a shiney piece of Gold with a symbol and precious stones for protection...
