I saw this program last night about this guy called Danny who used to be a girl (quite a looker too). He was going through the stages of having a sex change and was such a nice dude. People around where he lived would shout things at him and call him freak! WHY are people so nasty. Concentrate on your own life I say! What do YOU say?

I want to know why because if you an Arab you assume that they are muslim right well it seems to me that a lot of ppl have no idea that there are Christian arabs!!
I am not a Christian and i am not an Arab i am a Muslim i am african american and mexican and i became a muslim after 9/11 and ppl that know me know that i was a christian and know how i feel about the ppl that were apart of 9/11!
Not all Muslims are terrorists and the ppl that did what they did on 9/11 were wrong and i did not have anything to do with it and millions of others did not have anything to do with it and it is so scary when you can point your finger at someone and call them out of character because of where they are from or what they look like we have ppl in our own country that terrorize ppl everyday and you if he or she was your neighbor you wouldnt know because you thought you knew them and you thought he or she was not capable to do something bad then they do and you dont want to know them anymore WHY?????

Are you scared of people who have HIV? do you think breathing the same air as them you will get the disease?

Are they people you avoid? Why?
Are they from the devil? would you discriminate against them?

HIV is The Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The virus attacks the infection fighting cells of the immune system which, over time, weakens and becomes unable to defend the body against bacteria, viruses and germs.

It can only be passed by Sexual contact, sharing needles, infected blood. HIV has been found at low concentrations in the saliva, tears and urine of infected individuals, but there are no recorded cases of infection by these secretions and the potential risk of transmission is negligible.

So what do you think of people with HIV?

I had a friend who set me up with this guy who turned out to be in a occult. I did not know this at the time. They called him grand master. Anyways he killed 2 women and tried to have me killed because i started to believe in Jesus. He got away with this which had me going in hiding for awhile. destroyed my life. He is dead now. MY friend who set me up with him defended him and lied for him. Also she claimed she would kill for him. This girl emailed me asking quetions on where i am, how am I doing, acting like nothing ever happened. Is the christian thing to do is forgive her even though i know she still practices witchcraft and she says she hates christians. Do I suppose to be christian like to her?

Does anyone know someone that we can contact about a SS case that is stuck in limbo? My brother is a disabled little person (26 different bone disorders in one). He tries to work as much as he can, but it is really hard for him (he works 16-20 hours per week) and he can't afford to do anything. My dad has been helping him out, but he was just injured and can no longer work.

He applied for social security 2 years ago, and hasn't even been asigned a caseworker yet. We have tried talking to a lawyer, but he say that since he has not been denied yet that there is nothing they can do. How can we make the government either approve or deny him ASAP. He calls the SS office at least one a week, and they keep saying it is still in processing.

We have heard rumors that the government is doing this to many people right now, basically hoping for them to die so that they don't have to pay. I am not sure as to the validity of that, but I just want him to get what he should by law.

For so long white people wanted to be completely seperated from black people, white people wanted their own bathrooms, resturants you know the whole segregation thing. But once black people started to create their own outlets and resources for themsleves, i.e NAACP, BET, Black Caucus, Black colleges and universities (H.B.C's), and things of that nature, white people have something to say, like 'why do black people have their own tv stations or scholorship programs", you know all the things that white people say that we have. Now with that being said, why are you really and truely so angry? For so long you didnt want to be apart of anything that black people wanted or had to do, so now that we have our own, you are complaining about that, when we give you what you want, and do things seperately you dont like it, but then when we try and be apart of your world fairly you dont want that either. So my question is...What do you really want?

Muslims claim that the Qur’an is true because it has not changed since it was revealed to Muhammad during the 7th century AD. On the other hand, Muslims claim that the Holy Bible has been altered. We know that the Holy Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament. Regarding the Old Testament, what have been altered? Are they in conflict with the belief of Islam?

That I dont care.

I want to know if anyone agrees with this.

I spent my time defending atheists, because I agree with how they think. Many people wrote it off as a rant, but that just shows how smart they are.
Anyway. I basically stated that I thought atheists were smarted the christians because they ask questions and dont follow everything blindly. I believe in god, but I ask questions.
Thats what I said, in a nutshell.

I got christians saying I was going to hell. I knew that was coming.
But...I got atheists saying I was stupid...for what? Saying you were right? How smart you must be.

But what I want to know...(if you agree or not)...is this:


"Arguing over the internet is pointless...its like competing in the special olimpics, even if you win....your still a retard"

No point can ever get across over the internet, so why try?
I defend someone and how they think...and I get rocks thrown at me.
Thats they way it is. Human beings are naturally cruel. Thats life.

I often hear people say - there is no eternal torment in hell... you are annihilated in the lake of fire...

"Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Rev 20:14

But right before that passage, in Rev 20:10 it says...

"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

So first off, why is "hades" thrown into the lake of fire... And also, is there any support that hell is not a place of eternal torment? (besides logic - which says no amount of finite sin is worth infinite punishment for eternity)

If a study showed that for every 40 times that a tall pine tree fell, there would be one instance in which none of the squirrels in the tree were seriously injured or killed and another study showed that for every 40 times that a plane crashed, there would be one instance in which none of the people on board were seriously injured or killed, why would the one instance in the second study be considered a miracle performed by God and the one instance in the first study would be considered a random occurrence?
