I am proud to say that I am of Cajun ancestry. My father's family comes from a small area in southeast Louisiana that was founded by a small group of people with their own language, customs, etc. Unfortunately when he grew up (he is in his 60s) cajuns were discriminated against so he was not taught to speak cajun nor could he say he was cajun. I am always seeing on applications a section for race and/or ethnicity. Well, I have learned cajun. I was taught by my grandfather as a child and am proud of the culture. I therefore claim cajun to be my ethnicity in the same way someone would say they are hispanic. As far as race, I am caucasian. I am bringing this up because I was corrected today on an application by another race. For my race I put caucasian but for ethnicity, cajun. I was rudely told that I cannot put cajun I would have to put caucasian for both. Why? As far as I understand the definition, I should be able to claim cajun as my ethnicity.

From what I've read/learned, the word "God" or "Jesus" (I can't recall exactly which one) itself is not allowed to be written/put down onto paper in a way that could be potentially destroyed. For example, it's wrong to destroy a Bible because God's name is printed throughout. A superstition of sorts, I guess. But if true, then wouldn't the word "God," when typed on a computer, be regarded as a sort of contemptuous speech about God.

Am I wrong about this/confused about this? And if so, please clarify, and if not, please answer. Because where does all of this digital recording go anyway. I understand that it is saved (no pun intended) for a particular period of time, but then it is all eventually erased, unless purposely backed up, which I doubt open forums like this are?

I am wrong/confused?

Since the internet was born, there seems to be some conflicting definitions, as if it can be claimed by one group of thought (funny since thats so much like religion, ie: Christianity). But I was wondering what YOURS is, no wiki or text pastes here, please.

if you consider Jesus your god, and say that he sacrificed his life on the cross, and all your sins are repented, then

whom do you worship (something not existing)?
if Jesus is god, then, for whom did he sacrifice his life (i mean which supreme authority, as he was god himself)?
to whom you people will be accountable for your deeds, if there is no god now and your sins have been repented.??

serious answers.

Hello, I was hoping someone can translate this into French for me. I am not fluent and need some help. Also, please don't just copy and paste it into Google Translate or something, as those automatic language translators are unreliable.

Thank you very much in advance.

A standard Tetris game is 20 rows and 10 columns. The rules are to maneuver the currently moving piece--which starts from the top--onto a desired location on the board below. The board starts out blank. As a piece is shown, the user may move it left, right, down, or for certain pieces, rotate them to get a better position of the piece.

The goal is to line up the pieces at the bottom to create full rows. Once a full row is created, it is removed and the player receives a score. The more rows removed, the higher the score. The difficulty level increases as the score goes up, causing the score acquired to increase.

So I just asked a question about Atheist burial procedures. And for the most part you folks agreed with what I said, but there was a few Atheists that were in conflict with other Atheists, why is this? Most agreed no headstone is required and the others want one. I guess what iam trying to say is that for the ones that want one, you guys are not purist Atheist. Am I wrong? Remember we are inert matter. Iam not a fundie. :)

Just wondering if there was any sexual intimacy between Adam and Eve's progeny -- or was it simply a duty to perform even though there was something unkosher about the whole business.

Every time I see someone make this motion or say this phrase, I ask them what it means. And, the funny thing is, no one seems to know what it means--it's just a "cool" thing to do or say!

Do you know what it means?

It is exactly what the question said, how we, human beings, appeared on this earth? By evolution like what other animals did? Or something more?

Please answer according to what your religion teached you about this matter.

I just think Atheism is too pop-culture

Agnostism is rooted in science

What do you think?

No offense but I'm 100% Catholic and believe (bastardized) Eastern influence is sending a vast majority of us to hell....

by that i mean home decor, music, clothing etc.
