I wondered how people feel about the 'celebrations' held for black history month. In my town, there are celebrations relating to food, culture, music, heritage and I think they are all very positive. But WHY are they giving presentations/talks/dramatisations about SLAVERY? I have a mixed race child and I certainly won't involve her in this kind of event. What is the point of continually going on about how some black people were brought here due to slavery? Yes it happened but surely that is not worth analysing every single year? Why not focus on the positives and talk about black role models today?

This weekend we baptized our three year old son in a big Orthodox church on Crete. I had never taken him to church (I was four months pregnant when the last priest hit on me, so I never went again) and I am a christian that believes that we shouldn't force our children into a religious sect, but teach them both sides of the story and let them choose when they are older. However my husbands family wouldn't hear of it (by the way my son can't be enrolled in school unless he is baptized Orthodox..can you believe it? I would have to send appeals to Brussels to get him into school!) so we baptized him. Not only did he kick the priest in the balls, and turn over the silver basin screaming his lungs out, the next morning he was covered in a rash where the holy anointment oil had touched him. People here are very superstitious and the 'talk' has begun around town. Have I given birth to the antichrist or what? : )

“Jehovah God himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth. When there were no watery deeps I was brought forth as with labor pains, when there were no springs heavily charged with water. Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahead of the hills, I was brought forth as with labor pains, when as yet he had not made the earth and the open spaces and the first part of the dust masses of the productive land. When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he decreed a circle upon the face of the watery deep, when he made firm the cloud masses above, when he caused the fountains of the watery deep to be strong, when he set for the sea his decree that the waters themselves should not pass beyond his order, when he decreed the foundations of the earth, then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially

Geico Auto insurance says in their radio advertisement that "you can save $500 by switching to Geico" (we'll even assume that the $500 figure is accurate - but they don't state where the $500 figure comes from). I think this ad is clearly deceptive for several reasons.

First of all, it says you "can save" money, not that you "will save" money, but it gives the opposite impression.

Next, it implies that Geico insurance is (on average) $500 cheaper than insurance from other companies which is blatently false.

And finally, and most importantly, it bases the $500 savings on people that "switch to Geico" only. It's not a comparison of all Geico rates with the rates from other companies. So, naturally, if you switched to Geico (and most people switch companies to save money), their rates will appear to be less than the company they switched "from".

Do you think that this Geico ad is deceptive?

I told them I did not believe that and they said they could prove it in the bible but I had no time to sit with them. I read my bible a lot once and never have I ever had the idea that Jesus was once Michael the angel. Someone help please.....

My second question is mathmatically, do you think if a man has more than one wife, they could breed more, I mean 1 man 4 wifes, 2 children with each wife = 8 children for 1 men and 3 bachlors with no children, so 1 woman for 1 man and 2 children on average would still make 8 children, something that the educated people in advanced societies have already figured out.

The three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - all
purport to share one fundamental concept: belief in God as the Supreme
Being, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. Known as "tawhid" in
Islam, this concept of the Oneness of God was stressed by Moses in a
Biblical passage known as the "Shema," or the Jewish creed of faith:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4)

It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by Jesus
when he said: "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the
Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29)

«"Muhammad came along approximately 600 years later, bringing the same message again: "And your God is One God: There is no God but He, ..."» (The Qur'an 2:163)

Christianity has digressed from the concept of the Oneness of God,
however, into a vague and mysterious doctrine that was formulated during the fourth century

If you look at the original texts and the original languages, Jesus never spoke of it. http://www.gospelthemes.com/hell.htm

Do you really think God would do this? I know some of you will say God is just, but, honestly, would this be just?

I don't think God is this sadistic...and that's exactly what it would be...sadistic.
