Society & Culture - 11 November 2007

Serioiusly.. people are always saying we are all the same.... bullshit. We are not the same... different races have many differences, but I have yet to see a difference that makes one race better than the other. We should all examine and reflect on our differences. Then we can truly accept and respect them. I am sickened at the amount of hate that still exists out there between us. And it comes from all races, people want to demonize the white racists more than others I think, but to me they are all equal in their stupidity. I am 'white' and I am proud of my family's heritage and background. I also see and greatly respect the heritage, trials and tribulations of other cultures. We all inhabit this speck of dust floating in the cosmos and we will never further our race, the human race, until we can all work together. Think about this for a second... if all nations got along and worked together we would easily be inhabiting Mars by now and God knows what else. I am out of charachters now

are atheist or freethinkers?

Its seems the more educated you are the more you demand proof in-terms of religion? I've heard people in the sciences and humanities dont hold blind or unwavering faith. If they do its mostly a shell of what is faith or religion.


your thoughts?

I've been to a few and they all told me things that were true. Was thinking about going again but I know the bible says it's a sin. What's your opinion?

This is my baby girl's first Christmas and was wondering what kind of traditions we can start with her? What special things do you do with your children during the holidays and do you have any ideas for starting new ones? I really want her to feel loved and to cherish these times when she is older.

I notice this happening here even on Yahoo answers. This is a free country so I assume people should be able to date who they want without some racists yelling down their throats. I cant count how many times I have been treated harshly by some black guys when they see Im with a black woman. Why are people so backwards?

Now I know not all blacks go to black churches, cause there a few that go to the church i go to. So what do they teach in churches that black people go to, and if i went, would it be acceptable cause i am white?

Okay, so I have been wanting to convert for years and years. I have been studying since 7th grade to become an Orthodox Jew and have been trying to practice as much as possible within the law without violating it--I want to convert by my 18th birthday which is this summer, so I would need to start studying last month...I'm hoping that since I've been studying on my own for so long it won't take as long as it normally might.

Anyways, the only thing left to do is to take the jump in calling the rabbi. However, I am afraid. The rabbi in charge of Geirus at the CRC doesn't seem very friendly and I am very shy, I am also afraid of getting rejected very roughly because I have wanted this so long.

Does there exist somewhere a list of Orthodox Jewish rabbis in the Chicago area who do conversions?

Any other help or anything else you have to offer is appreciated.

Thank you so much...

A youth pastor at a pentecostal church told his young followers that they couldn't be "friend" friends with non-christians, only acquaintances. As an example, he said, "Imagine you knew someone who was a rapist. You could be their acquaintance, but not their friend." How do you feel about equating non-christians to rapists? How about saying non-christians and christians can only be acquaintances?

Is this even in the Bible or is it just something that people say? Also, is this seen in other religions? Thanks! (I'm giving a speech and part of it is related to this)

To follow up on my previous question about my son taking my money. I was sitting here thinking "what am I going to do? My car is right on empty, I havent had any protein to eat in weeks, I cant swallow anymore rice. All I have is canned vegetables. I NEED meat, some fruit & I am out of water too."

So I asked God "help me please, I NEED to eat, I am going to get really sick if I dont."

Then I remembered a lottery ticket I had bought several weeks ago. was talking to my friend online and I was teasing him that if he checked his ticket when I was with him he always won. I remembered my ticket, checked and found out I had won $65 !!!

I put $15 worth of gas in my car, bought two steaks for $2.50 each, not very big ones, but each big enough for a meal, some fish, two porkcops, some squash, three potatoes, three oranges, an apple, and some water. Then I got carried away & splurged on sushsi for $2.99 because I have been craving wasabi. I feel rich, thank you God.

I just read an answer to another question (the particular question and answer aren't really important here) that said "God is in absolute control, but He does give us the right to choose." This confuses me. How can we truly have the ability to make our own choices if someone else has "complete control" over us? I'm not trying to be flippant about this. This is an honest question!

The media seems to think so. Isn't it both the same thing? Religious intolerance?
