Society & Culture - 19 October 2007

This post is not just for one race, it's open, please enlighten me your views History is repeating itself. They say beside every great man, there is a good woman. However, it seems as though woman are becoming just as, if not more, successful than black men. Brothers, I don?t know whether you have been watching, but I'm here to tell you that within the next 10 yrs, not only will African American woman have executive positions in the corporate world, but they will also be the head of many households abroad. I know it may be tough to make sense of, but stay with me. African American woman are the backbone of the black race. Ask, Harriett Tubman, Rosa Parks, or Ida Wells Barnett. These are woman that walked the walk. Ask Cloretta Scott King, Myrlie Evans, or Betty Shabazz, all woman that walked in faith with courageous black men. I just roughly spanned close about 400 years of history, so let me slow it down for you all. (full story: visit www.overstand.o-f.com) Thank you.

Define each first and differentiate? Are Atheists likened to an ostrich burying their heads in the sand despite hard evidence on the truth of a deity? And are Free-thinkers really as such and are open minded and ready to accept truths when evidence reveals itself whether spiritually or materially?

Be serious. It's a philosophical and religious question. Be introspective...and civilized here, please.

Let's asume you would have been born in iraq and you were the son/daughter of one of those guys planning bomb attacks. For all your life you would have ben taught that what they do is the right thing, that god likes it, and whatever else they are teaching them. Do you think you would have realised it is wrong and tried to run away and start a new life elsewhere, or would you have done the same things your parents would be doing?

This is not ment to be offensive for any iraqian people, I'm just trying to prove how important the way you were taught since childhood is

You all said you can do it in my last question. You also say God can't. If God is omnipotent, couldn't he do it too?

with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you
wont you say you love me too!

When you die, your brain ceases to function, but not for a few hours. In this time it is said that hallucinations are possible, EX: NDE's. Do you suppose we create our own afterlives? Do you suppose that whatever it is we are expecting after death is what we receive? This would explain those who experience nothing, while others have severely religious experiences. Reality is subjective to perception. Our minds cannot tell the difference between what is seen with our eyes and the eyes of our minds. Could we actually create our own heaven or hell?

Lots of folk don't care for me much and its probably because certain parts of me are abrasive and really not interested in friendship...yet, my own choosing of being a prik leaves me sad...since most people are jerks, I can't figure out why it bothers me so much.

And of course, here comes another cultural curiousity point on my part ---> What exactly is a Hell House?

Is it like a Haunted House? And if so, why do i always hear it associated with churches.

How is it sane for a Christian to believe that he is going to heaven by virtue of the circumstances of his birth? If you are raised in a non-Christian culture how is it possible to "come to Jesus"?

Cause this is one of the puritan beliefs, and I'm just not understanding it.
If you are born a sinner, no chance at converting unless you commit no sins in your life, (WHICH IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.) then how can you hope to go to heaven? Wouldnt it just mean that your born a slug, raised a slug, and die as a slug?

They have also sacrifice their life for their cause(whether its good or bad) and also it needs a lot of courage to do that.
Everyone cannot do that including me.

America is a whole continent not a country, as a matter of fact since it's actually 3 continents, North, South and Central America, even though some people argue that Central America is not a continent; it would even be wrong to call it America, if anything it should be called North America, but that would also be wrong because Canada is in North America as well.
