For those of you who do not know him, here's a sneak peek:

In His Own Words:

"What I want to say to Black Americans, and I mean this, I mean this...your ancestors came here against their will in chains. If the Black community does not clean up its act and reign [sic] in its hoodlums...all of you and I mean *all* of you, can leave here the same way. That's right, against your will and in chains. Think we can't do it? Look at the Indians. All we have to do is play cowboys and Indians..see where they are? Well, the time is rapidly approaching where we're going to play cowboys and *******. Get the picture."

Commenting on the North African immigrant riots in France:

"I love the way the media tries to divert attention from who is really doing all this harm: SAVAGE ***** BEASTS! They are allowed into a civilized, white, first-world country. They cannot fit in because they simply do not have the genetic make-up to assimilate properly

Following a Moscow synagogue stabbing of nine Jews:, I just want to take a moment to publicly applaud this action. Almighty God himself has commanded us to be at war with Satan and the spawn of Satan, and this man in Russia exercised that obligation today. I'm proud of him! Congratulations on the STABBING of FILTHY JEWS at a synagogue of Satan, Moscow, Russia!"

Right, i'm Jewish so i'm a little confused by this one.

the other day we had a crazy lady come into our work, she was talking to herself and took a dislike to my colleague so started shouting and preaching at her. she was obviously very religious and told us that she speaks to Jesus every day, she then picked up her mobile phone and 'called' Jesus on it and spoke in tongues down the phone. i asked her what language she was talking in but she said that Jesus said that i was making fun of her (i wasn't) so she wouldn't talk to me anymore. she went on to say that she loves Jesus more than anyone in the world and that Jesus was the greatest ect. i said 'can i ask you a question?' (as i was geniuninly interested in what she was going to say) but Jesus told her that i couldnt ask her a question and that she had to leave, so she did. my question was.. you say you love Jesus more than anyone, do you love him more than God? what do you think shed say and what do you think?

confused...

If you were to die and enter Hell, what do you believe would happen exactly? You can make a short story out of it, for instance. "The car hit me and in an instant moment I saw myself spiraling into a world faster than the speed of light until I suddenly came to a hault on a rocky platform overlooking a dark river. Then after 5 minutes of standing I see something ahead in a rowboat paddling slowly towards me, I was alone ..." etc.... Thanks for answering.

...Pray that God would spare him in the garden. I believe in God and Jesus, But it doesn't make sense to me that Jesus would go to the garden, pray to himself, asking himself to "let this cup pass from me" if it was His will that the crusifixion should happen.
I would like christions to answer this question please. Although I respect everyones beliefes, it not really helpfull to me for Atheists to answer this question saying "God doesn't exist" or "christianity isn't logical".

I feel like time is running out. I'm happy, but feel like I should be doing something more impactful. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy. I just want to do something to make a difference.

Currently, I stay home and raise my young children. I plan to homeschool them. My family is very important to me and I wouldn't want a 40 hour workweek. I love researching things and reading and travel. I have an MBA, though I've never used it. Before kids, I worked in retail management, but hated it and wasn't good at it. I would really like to impact kids lives with my time, but I don't know where to start. I feel such compassion for kids who aren't getting all they need. Later, when our children are a little older, we plan to have foster children.

I have lots of time, love to talk to people, a computer, a car, but not alot of money. Any ideas??? I"m looking for a need I can fill.

Some little girl about 10 yrs old (old enough to know better for sure) was in a big group, and I was handing all the kids a few pieces, well this girl REACHED INSIDE and grabbed a handful, so I snatched it back out of her hands and said "Don't be greedy you little b----" and all them kids just froze in their tracks. One of them's mom, I guess that one girl's, said "You should be ashamed" so I thought she was talking to that girl, and I said, "I know, I'm sure you brought her up better than that." And the mom said "I meant YOU." and then they all left. Can you believe she said that? Hateful mom that's just wrong. What would you have done?

I don't know if it's true but I heard in China they have a program for helping the elderly and I think it's a good idea.
When you are young you volenteer your time , lets say 2 hours per week to go to an elderly persons home and help them.
Things like washing , ironing ,cleaning,company ect for free.In return ,how ever many hours you donate, when you are old you get that many hours free help.
In Australia our goverment is letting down the elderly it may be the same where you live.
I would like your ideas how to get something like this started.
Is it a good idea?
Should it be church run ? If so religion should not be a concideration as to who gets help and who does not.
Should it be goverment run ?
It would need funding , as it would involve administration .Would you donate or should the goverment at least fund it ? I don't feel you can charge the helper or the one being helped that would defeat the purpose
Can you see it working if run properly ?
Any constructive input welcom

I was wondering about supposed 'ghost orbs'.
I don't believe, or really disbelieve in ghosts, orbs, etc. I am just open minded and realize that there may be things out in the world/universe that is yet to be understood.

I was at a Halloween party over the weekend. In looking at the pictures that I took that night, I noticed one that seemed to be an 'orb'. I decided to look at the rest of the photos, I found three more.

The first one, was taken in an almost black room (very little light) and was without flash, you cannot see anything/anyone- but you can still see the orb. Right away, I took another picture with flash- the orb is there, but is in color (bright blue) and is slightly changed in location- though the picture is still framed the same.

The second, is a 'typical orb' that is in the back ground of a picture.

Lastly, there are two pictures that I took of several people together. One right after another. The first shows nothing, and the second has another orb.

God has sinned against me and he refuses to repent. If he doesn't change his ways he is doomed to pain and torchure. Why does he ignore me what I offer his salvation?

i took my kids out trick or treating and refused to stay home like he wanted. hey the kids have been doing it since they were born im not about to stop it now just got he got "saved".
he went out with his church members holding picket signs and handing out tracks in salem, ma!
hubby came home upset, people really made fun of him.
i told him this would happen.
why wont he listen to me? i dont like the fact that hes "saved". he is evangelical now. im not. since he got saved he has become a boring old poop, only listening to christian music, and reading his bible and going to church. no longer wanting to go dancing, he stopped playing soccer, and basically lost all his friends with that constant preaching he does.
he says God and church are more important than me and kids and actually told me i was going to hell cause i believe in God but not in religion! he gives 10% of our money to his pastor and try to "forbid" me from doing things I've always done.

this happened to anyone else?

So I asked a question about abortion and got a bunch of answers that really didnt even address my point but there was one moron in particular that stuck out.
She stated that men had absolutely no say in the desicion to get an abortion or not and that all men should just butt out. Now I understand the courts perspective on this but are there women out there so shallow that they wouldnt even talk to or discuss it with their partner? I mean c'mon I am all for a womans right to choose but... shouldnt the other half at least be included in the debates?

I am a cancer survivor and want a tattoo to express my struggle with this disease. Latin not only sounds beautiful but should keep the message personal.

Also if you can help with these other two lines. "Show me the way to forgive" and "Allow me to be forgiven" I used an online translator and got "ostendo mihi quam remitto" for the first one. Is that as close as it gets? I couldnt quite match the second line.

First, for the non-believer:
Please tell me honestly what it is that bugs you the most about the message of Scripture......or about us in general.

For the believer:
Please tell me what it is that bugs you the most about the other side (the atheist).


All I ask is that this doesn't turn into a mud-slinging, lunch room food fight. Please try to be as honest & gentle as possible.

Thanks to all in advance.

You are probably going to think I am crazy but...

I have a hard time sleeping in my bed, I usualy prefer sleeping on the sofa...but eventually get up and go to bed...but I have a hard time sleeping in my bed because I feel like it is oriented the wrong way.

For the last seven years we have moved around alot but in every place we have lived, the bed and bedroom was in the east part of the house (if you entered from the door) and when sleeping my feet were towards the west and my head was towards the east....now, in this house, total opposite...the bed is to the west and my feet are towards the east part of the house...

I am not kidding...I have been here for about 2 or 3 months and when I lay in bed, I feel odd...like something is off...

I can't change my bed around, although I have considered sleeping with my head towards to foot of the bed but then my head is facing the door and I don't know if that would be any better...so I am just wondering...am I crazy?
