i am outraged (lol)
but seriously
i read : "Jesse Jackson reportedly ripped presidential candidate Barack Obama for "acting like he's white," according to The State newspaper in South Carolina, but the civil rights leader says he doesn't recall making any such comment.

Jackson, who endorsed Obama for president in March, reportedly blasted the Illinois senator for failing to bring attention to the case of six black kids arrested on attempted murder charges in Jena, La."



i find this very rude and uncalled for...
how can some act black or white?

i thought we were one race the human race!!


btw.....to white people and other races

not all blacks feel that al sharpton and jesse jackson are their "leaders"

i have my on opinions

Why are there schools and colleges? Why doesn't every search engine on the internet just have one result - "The Bible"?

Is it because the Bible is wrong? Incomplete? Antiquated?

About 2 1/2 years ago I was walking down Broadway in Manhattan and I and a few thousand other people silently watched the moon slowly turn a crimson red.

Later, I read about it in the bible. It was prophesied. It said it was one of the signs of the Coming of the Christ.

The darkness had already come over the sun - an eclipse - but this was really eery. So much had happened in NYC over the last few years, no one reacted. We all watched and people called other people on their cellular phones - but I didn't see anything about it in the newspaper the next day.

Did anyone else witness this? How close do you think we are from the Second Coming?

A family friend is building a website for his Christian organization (support group with camps).

To build his website he is using a pirated version of Dreamweaver and a stolen (unlicensed hacked) Flash product, among other things...

He is by no means unable to afford these products as he owns multiple million dollar properties and is constantly buying new gadgets. He ends all e-mails with scripture, and you can't have a single discussion with him without it turning into him professing his trust in God, etc, even when the discussion was totally unrelated to anything religious.

Does anyone else see the irony in this? Doesn't it strike you as odd? How could someone who's entire life is built around religion so callously break one of it's most basic rules? His belief isn't all an act, he truly believes the stuff.

They can be old, bald, fat, unhygienic, but they will still think they can end up with a young, blond attractive girl.

I remember when I was at my heavyist how unkind even AVERAGE guys were to me.

In shows on tv there is always unattractive men with better looking women but never the other way around.

What is up with all that?

This can be a very sensitive issue I know.
If you can't answer for yourself, please offer your opinion on whether you think others do this or not and why.

i am a committee member for my local community based charity and it is staring death in the face.

we are facing financial ruin and i want to fight it. no matter the outcome, it's worth it.

the charity owns a large community centre, where groups can hire halls etc. we've experienced a few rough years followed by a dreadfull summer and we're screwed. we can't pay our service contractors (including the cleaner), the insurance is due and our rent income is being eaten by our overdraft.

i/we desperately need someone to talk to and chew over our options, but who and where to go? it isn't the job of the charity commission, the nvco cannot help directly. and i dont know who else to try.

we desperately need free but experienced advice.

can any one point us in the right direction?

how do you look at each other before you sleep and wake every morning knowing that when you die, your love for one anouther dies also?

is it because when you go to heaven the Lord will alter you from each other and you will not suffer, so who cares?

is it just a sexual thing, so you can breed or multiply for the Lord?

is it because you are lonely witch is something witch you say God created in you to breed for his heavenly kingdom?

it is because of your teaching that there are no marrige for your selfs in heaven that I evil your ways with God.

I need to know how you can say you love her knowing that when you die, you are no more. No more that she will probovly find someone eles to bed and wed.

this is importiant for me as I study your christian heart? are you whores just getting off in marriage, to satisfy your lust for your body. Or woman are you just breeders that you want to have children? or is there another reason?

I know I sound like a troll, but I need your heart..

a disparaging remark, a verbal bashing or a thumbs down to an answer from a person that is simply an honest response that the person has felt or experienced in their life? Especially where their beliefs are concerned.

This has nothing to do with me :)
I am simply curious why people feel the need to respond to a heartfelt honest answer with a negative response?

I understand the strict definition of atheism believes there is NO god. They deny existence of any reality that incorporates a montheistic god or polytheistic gods. My question is directed to the commitment that directs many people to atheism as derived from MANY REASONS. Prior exposure to christianity would be prerequisite for this certain group of atheists who "REJECT" the christian God they once "knew". Hate for the christian God would occur through disappointments and negative experiences that provided those emotions.


This is a type of atheism--practical atheism colored by experience--that is the flipside and defection from a religion whether it be christianity/islam/judaism/hinduism. These type of atheists might have internal dialogues that suggest that they "know" God exists but can not get themselves to yield because of bad experience and because it means sacrificing their dignity, pride, and all that they prize as meaningful to them (and having acquired BY them).
