Society & Culture - 1 October 2007

I just asked a question about if its okay to have sex on a desert island if theres no preacher around and a lot of Christians said if you make a committment before God then you are considered married in his eyes.

if this is the case then why do you bother getting married in a civil ceremony that is acknowledged by the government? especially if you say the sanctity of marriage is ruined in our culture? why bother? couldn't you just have sex anyway if you're married in Gods eyes, then why do you say premarital sex is wrong?

I am taking tennis classes 3 times a week. There are 2 disabled students in my class and they have their own mentor who makes sure they are safe, etc. So for the past two weeks or so, I have been noticing that one of the disabled students has a crush on me. He stares at me for a long time, but what is even more uncomfortable is he comes and stands right behind me, very close to me. I don't know what to do, it's making me feel very uncomfortable. I am kinda of shy to tell the kid off or should I talk to his mentor?
Do you think that kid would understand if it was explained to him not to stand so close to me?

For example, if someone says blacks are typically two to three reading levels behind their white counterparts, is that racist or misinformed? Or is saying that homeless white guy must be crazy, they all are...is that racist?

It is not even one of the Ten Commandments

It seems like just as many people are adulterers, which IS one of the Ten Commandments

yet I do not hear anything about Christians condemning people who cheat on their spouses

how come?

I swear i'm going somewhere with this!

lets say its your bf/gf and you love him or her but you cant get married bc your on an island by yourselfs.

or even if its someone you didnt know but you were stuck on the island for years together and fell in love.

would it be a sin to have sex even if you love each other and are committed just because theres not a pastor there to perform the ceremony?

So did George Washington so were these Men of Honor or Heathens that needed forgiveness? or maybe they just were using thier personal convictions of common sense?
Jefferson said-Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man." Is that why he could cheat on his wife make a a baby with his slave? He also said-"The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. *SO what was the reason he beat and killed his slaves?*
Jesus said that men would be known by their fruits..."Ye shall know them by their fruits..." (Matthew 7:16).

Everyone who deny's GOD makes an excuse for thier bad behaviour

Are you showing your fruits?

I often ask if God can do something silly like duplicate himself, and I always get some Christians saying "no". As a proper Christian, wouldn't they believe God is omnipotent? Do they not see the problem here? I could accept "yes, but he won't" but some of them say "no". WTF? Is our school system really that bad?

Do you think your corpse will blush when it realizes that the whole act was for nothing? Or, if there’s a God, do you think he’ll be pissed that you were dishonest with him?

I am from Egypt. I come to America to try fine dining. I go to fancy restaurant and when check come it say "Tip:" but space was too small to write any good advice. So I write, "Line too short".

Waitress come out and yell at me saying she need buy diapers! I say, "I guess you need get back to working!"

Why are waitresses so rude? It's not my fault the lines are too short!

Ok I have noticed that mixed black people, half white, Hispanic, Asian and etc, get mad when they have black features, like nappy hair, big nose and etc.

EXAMPLE
This half Hispanic half black chick i knew, she hated her hair and nose, she was pretty but still it was sad.

I have also noticed that light skinned black people with wavy hair and pointy noses often look down on black people with nappy hair or big nose.

EXAMPLE
My sister is light skinned with wavy hair and a pointy nose, and she often make fun of my curly hair and big nose.

Please do not post racist comments, because i don't feel like erasing this question.

I believe homosexuality is wrong. Im not posting this to upset anyone so please don't get offended and assume that Im here to bash because Im not. Im having an ongoing discussion about this with someone who is gay. I noticed in our conversation that she kept referring to the Hebrew scriptures and how she didn't see the word "homosexual"? I found a couple of scriptures for her to read so that she can see for herself. Read Romans 1:24-27 and 1Corinthians 6:9-11. The words "homosexual" or "homosexuality" are not used but the scriptures are clearly talking homosexuality. What do you think?
