my mother takes me to get a blessing from a guy name is maynard, and he has this really weird gold watch on with 2 beasts on each side of the face of it. first my mom and her friend leave to take a walk. he leads me over to a table where he has me read a bunch of bible verses. I was too busy worrying about pronunciation but these passages where not from the bible! i went to bible school. then he has me close my eyes and he says he is going to anoint my head. he has me hold my arms out and he hits the window really hard with a spoon and then comes over and write something on my forehead. then he made me drink a protein drink and got really mad when i didnt. finally i relented. after my mom and her friend come back home we form a circle holding hands and talk in jibberish by an open fireplace. the other three people take turns hissing like a snake during this. i ask him if he sent me to hell and he laughs. now people come up to me and say that the devil knows me. did i doom myself

lets face it. Life is crap. Why bother stuggling day after day? You try to make sense out of it by holding a belief that there ia a all powerful god 'watching over' you and planning things for you.
The truth too terrible for you to see is that you are no more important than a tiny molecule of dust on the planet mars.
When you understand this fact - how can you justify stuggling from day to day?
Are you happy to lie to yourself hang on to your material comforts and your illusions of granduer in an imaginary master plan?

Immediately after telling us that we are saved by faith, not works (Ephesians 2:8-9), Paul informs us that we were created to do good works (Ephesians 2:10).

Two forces are always blamed here on the wrong doings of the world:

The Devil did it.

Evils of the man.

but God, he don nuttin wrong.

God led Adam into temptation and blamed him and all his children for it for all eternity. It's like that Simpsons episode where Cheif Wiggum doesn't want his son to go into the closet yet tells him "What IS your fascination with my forbidden closet of mysteries"

All the genocide, torture, and witch burning all done in great numbers and all done in methods that would make you turn your head if you just realized the scope at which these occurred, but all to be blamed on man or the devil. God let this all happen for centuries and it still goes on till the day and yet God wouldn't bother to fix anything. Oh wait, that's right, he's busy helping Benny his put up his new satellites.

God wouldn't even have the decency to protect his people in his own church. (Ptff house of God) It’s free reign for the devil in the churches. Blame it on the devil.

Picture yourself standing before the God of the universe:
He asks why you didn't believe the 20 witnesses that Jesus is real that were sent to you in your life time and asks why you didn't even take the chance and pray to him.......and you say well that's Pascal's wager........do you think he'd be impressed with that sor of wisdom? or not? and why?

Why do white Americans - some not all - criticize African-American for speaking AAVV, speaking Ebonics, speaking ghetto, speaking slang and belittle them?

I find it extremely offensive and unbearably selfish because speaking AAVV is the way I detach my self from white American and embrace my heritage. For instance, if any Asian-American, a Asian born in American, wanted to do the same, all he or she would have to do is start speaking Asian, but American-Americans do not have that same privilege because White America robbed us of are heritage, so why would you complain when we subconsciously and consciously crated a new one, a new culture that differs from yours?

So my question again is, why do white Americans - some not all -criticize African-American for speaking AAVV, speaking Ebonics, speaking ghetto, speaking slang and belittle them?

in jeremiah 31:33-34, g-d describes the "new covenant" as: "After those days, saith the L-RD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their G-d, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the L-RD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the L-RD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more"

clearly, as long as there is need for a written bible, as long as people still feel the need to teach others about g-d, the "new covenant" isn't here!

why do they claim it is?

Is it only los padres? Why padres and not los madres? Or rather why don't they have a neutral name like word 'parents' is in english language?

Is there anything behind this decision? Or does it work in the same way as the name 'man'.. meaning that 'man' means both human and a man with male gender? Coming from the times when men had more political power than women.. Are these the resons behind naming parents 'los padres' and NOT with any other name?

I just got back from Walmart. As I made my way through the parking lot I counted 17 people who walked right in front of my car without looking. I didn't count the people who did look... but walked in front of my car anyways.

There are times when you feel God's spirit is making you "more aware" of His will. Would you care to share your experiences. Honest and sincere answers please.
