I'm a FIlipina, and my Husband is a mutt (1/2Mexican 1/4 Salvadorean 1/4Portugese), yet he has more slanted eyes than eye do, and I am more tan than him cause I swim a lot. Everytime we are walking together people, especially Latinos look at us with shame, and the Asians are more of whatever. I have known my husban for 5 years, and I have studied everyones culture but mine, but there is no where in any text books that states anything about these shameful looks, and glares. Its driving me crazy. ITs not easy to blend it. What should we do? My husband almost snapped at these other couples one time.

Brothers and sisters,
I feel deeply hurt and I really do not know what to do. Something is really troubling me. I have a friend who I have known for three years. Over the past year, we have really grown closer and shared our lives and our ups and downs with each other. She is a Christian and we have read the bible together and have prayed together. We spent the night at the others house when we were having marital problems. About a week ago, she started to treat me differently. She started to say little things to me, to just "cut me down." Do you know what I mean? It really hurt my feelings. I really felt like she just did not like me anymore. And then yesterday I saw her and she was having some problems and I put my arm around her and said "Everything ok my friend?" And she said in a real nasty voice "I'm not about to talk to you, Cat." I walked away in utter disbelief and I went home and cried. I really do not understand how someone can like you one day and not

In the Quran, it mentions that Christians believe in a Trinity of God, Mary and Jesus. Was there an early sect that worshipped Mary as synonymous with the Holy Spirit? Or is it an ironic reference to Marian devotion?

Do you think the sudden absence of money in our society would mean the downfall of religious sects and encourage unity or mass chaos?

Surely, sending your own child to death to demonstrate a point is a rather bad parenting.

I see people saying that Pagans were acting unlike Pagans.

I was wondering is there a code ALL Pagans acknowledge I am unaware of?

It will bbe powered and sponsored by our youth committee? Need to keep budget low, and we can't charge people too much for the competition/event.

Something that will be fun and pleasant for youths (13-35) and my friend and I are thinking of involving our two junior colleges.

As the youth committee is a community association, we need to do something that is considered "okay" for the community?

So that it makes sense when you translate it back to english?

Thankyou very much :)

The phrase is:

'To be willing to march into Hell for a Heavenly cause'

The first person to translate it acceptably or provide me with an acceptable website that I can use will get the ten points.

Do you wake up daily with any questions as to why we are here..what is the purpose of being here..Just to live and then die? No reason what at all..Is it a sad way to live?..Not being disrespectful..just trying to understand.

I'm wondering, in a long-term serious relationship or marriage, how much, if any, of a right do you have to ask your significant other/spouse not to do something that you think is dangerous?

For instance, my fiance really wants a motorcycle. I really don't want him to have one because I would like to keep him with me for a very long time. Also, we saw a really bad bike wreck on the belt way a few months ago... I saw a guy pretty much splattered all over the highway. It made me sick to my stomach.

My fiance says it is selfish of me to try to tell him he can't do something that he really wants to do (own and ride a motorcycle). I recognize that he is correct. I know I shouldn't be trying to control what he wants to do with his life. After all, we only get one life.

But this comes down to religion, because he doesn't seem to care that much about taking chances (he thinks he's going to have everlasting life in Heaven anyway). I think this life is all we get..

Thoughts?

Why is Islam so far advanced in this regard ?

Prophet Mohammeds youngest wife (Aisha) was one of Islams first top scholars who taught both men and women.

Sorry but I think (Lojique- because I'm not egotisic enought to say I'm right as I dont have the foresight of god) that there is a God, what god is I do not know but a man sat in a cloud does not appeal to me more a spiritual energy, and I believe in evolution.

Why isnt this compatible with some religions, I take the story of creation and adam and eve as a fable to try to make us understand the vast power of god and the world not as fact, god made everything including dinosaurs

I work in a nursing home, and the family of two of our residents who passed away set up a scholarship for the employees who are attending college. I got one of the scholarships and I am not certain if I should send a "Thank You" or not.
