I am a black woman married to a white man. I can count on one hand the number of couples I have seen in which the woman is black and the man is white.

So I am curious on how many people on yahoo answers are in a black woman/white male relationship.

Plus, are there any groups that cater to the black woman/white male relationships.

In Genesis 3:16, God says to Eve:

"I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you."

What did God mean by this?

Here's the video of the behaviour of (ahem) *Christian* anti- war protestors.... http://youtube.com/watch?v=UqhUjAWfu-8


I don't believe in the afterlife
I am agnostic
I do not support war
I am not even an American and nor do I live there.

So why does the behaviour of these scumbag protestors offend me so much that I want to stomp on their heads and crush them in my bare hands!

If you are Christian.. do you support their actions? Why?

It just baffels this poor spelling, bad punctuation, ignorant of paragraph ending and begining little pea brain of mine, how some individuals (very proud of their learned minds) waste their precious geneous big brains to belittle us dumb, ignorant bast---s who just want to enjoy the net a bit with a few oversights in the process without being reminded of how unfortunately stupid we are.

Can some one tell me why?

There is deffinately hypocrites among Christians for we are human still and can not be perfect. All fall short of the Glory of God , both alike, Because of our inability to be a without sin opens us up to this negative label. I struggle against my sin of what I see in me and of what i do not yet comprehend.

Okay to my point, I have heard people calling Christians intollerant ( and SOME are no doubt) Are these the same people that correct everyone for things,like for example," In-Correct spelling or the lack of use of the spell checker button.
Mocking and ridiculing others for their belief yet cry when some over zealous short sighted believer does it to them.

Can these intollerant people complain without being also a hypocrite.
Seriously, if this cenario is not you then would you want to be catagorised with the extremists, nut farm inductees.

Does this make them intollerant. Can this intollerant person really call someone else intollerant without also being a hyporcite.

My coworker is nosey and involves herself in ALL of my conversations, whether business related or personal. She is a "know-it-all" and I am constantly being included in her numerous mistakes. I have been in my position for a few years and she just started this year. My manager doesn't give the impression that he is aware of the problem. I want to firmly put her in her place, before I lose my temper and go upside her head.

does he come back a baby? do we get to see another star of Bethlehem, virgin birth....the works? or does he come back as an adult?

i bet he goes to san francisco. he kind of had the hippie thing going, no? i can see jesus in berkley on haight and ashbury. or does he come to the united states at all? he didn't last time.

why didn't jesus go to north america, south america, or east asia? no one needed saving there? or was the son of god not powerful enough to travel?

Okay, i admit. I have come up with more and more creative ways to get you guys off my front porch. One time, someone asked for my parents, and I went screaming "I don't HAVE parents" and shut the door.

But because of that, I don't know what you guys believe that's so different' from "standard" Christianity. Can you enlighten me?

...couldn't I hook you up to a brain scanning device, wait until you have a "god feeling", find out what specific neurotransmitters are firing in what area, and then stimulate this part of your brain manually to make you feel god?

Scientists are already doing this with other senses like taste, feeling and even memories. By stimulating areas of the brain, people can experience tastes without eating, sensations without being touched, and memories without actually thinking of the events.

I could conceivably implant a small electrical stimulator in your brain, and then by pushing a car alarm keyfob, make you experience god over and over, AND YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

There is a girl named savannah next to me. Everytime I take out my purse put it in the desk, I might turn and she takes my stuff. So far it's been a total of about 50$ she stole from me. I don't know what to do she has already stole my nailpolish.

Ants and Sluggards (Proverbs 6:6-11)

6Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise!--7Which, having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8Provides her food in the summer and gathers her supplies in the harvest.
9How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?
10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep--
11So will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels [with slowly but surely approaching steps] and your want like an armed man [making you helpless].

Ok, I know I'm a little 9th grader, but their attitudes really annoy me. Like, I have an art class with a few of them, and they're so mean about their classmates. It's driving me insane, but I don't know what to do about it. It's always so quiet in the art room, except these two seniors that are practically screaming about how someone did this, or someone else did that. And if anyone tells me to ignore it, I will definitely NOT pick their answer as the best answer. I've been trying to ignore it. It doesn't work. Every time I hear them I just want to scream my head off and tell them to shut up. What should I do???
