Why do some White people always take a minority's side side on an issue? Why do some White people feel like they have to prove that they're not racist? Why do some White people defend Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson? Why do some White people support race based affirmative action? Why do some White Americans feel guilty about America's racist past?
Why does White guilt exist?

well we were dating and friends for 3 years, we talked for hours on the phone, i always wanted to date other people since im young 23, and busy with school.. he always wanted more but we were good friends, he would call me all the time and talk for 6 hours..
All of sudden i call him, he says "jen is here" i said whos jen?, hes oh my friend want to say hi,
Then i called him another time asking to hang out, hes says sure "Me and jen will meet you"
I didnt say anything but i got the message.
I even asked him another time to do something with me, he said sorry hes busy with jen...

I tried emailing just saying hi and catching up, i got no reply;

I dont really understand? I know he replaced me obviously, but i dont see how he can just get rid of me like this, no contact at all,
its been 6 months now. I miss him alot, My Mom liked him alot, he always came over, she always asks about him.
I felt so bad i was in bed just feeling bad..

The way to grow and develop in the Christian life has everything to do on our spiritual diet. As believers we are told to do so many things in the word. There are certain expectations and requirements and even commands in the word. But how are these carried out? In our naturalness, in our strong will? In our own strength?
I say it comes from our eating and drinking of Christ. The more we partake of Him in the Word and are infused with Him, He is able to carry out all that God requires in us.
TO me the CHristian life is not something that we try to do outwardly, but it comes from the gradual growth and transformation and working of Christ in us as we daily nourish ourselves with Him. He is here to impart His life and nature to us as we open to Him.
Share on how your eating and drinking of Christ has gradually brought about changes in your growth and development in the Christian life.

Ty so much in advance
in Christ
sandy

My husband works for a firm that routinely gives him tickets to sporting events, takes us out to nice dinners and just recently brought us to a resort for the weekend so that he could have training...of course, we were all treated to spa services and whatnot....in fact, last night we were treated to a lovely dinner at a local restaurant, and tonight we have tickets from one of the partners to go see a sporting event...the tickets cost 200 a piece!

I feel uncomfortable accepting such nice things without saying thank you but my husband said that he gave his superior a thank you note and the superior told him it wasn't necessary...

I am wondering if it is appropriate to write a thank you note for these things and if so should I continue to write thank you notes and group things together like "thank you for the lovely weekend, the dinner on tuesday, and the tickets to the game" how much is too much...at what point does it look like I am maybe sucking up to my husband's boss??

If you believe that contraception shouldn't be allowed because the genitles should only be used to procreate, does this mean that knowingly infertile people that have sex are commiting a sin?

I'm trying to find the religion that best worships God. I've been to baptist, non-denominational, methodist and pentocostal churches. Doing my own research, I find that none of these religions strictly follow the bible, so maybe I should follow my own. Also, it seems that catholicism has been around longer so I figured this is a good one but why do they believe in Mary and Saints and worship them more?

Do you think both guys and girls expose too much when wearing sleeveless attire? And perhaps their underarms contain bacteria that could be getting into the air and making us all sick?

Scientific responses would be great on this one, but anyone may comment.

There have been times when I've seen and felt negative spirits, *** if my soul and /or body were being invaded. Often times, there seems to be black figures surrounding me. I was once told that the devil was trying to get my soul with permission from God. What's going on?
