I notice little things about the way society treat black men. People are not as polite to blacks men, they do not so appreciation when assisted by black men....all these little things just show a general disrespect.

My friend is being extra territorial. I finished doing a part of my homework after I ate lunch, since she had the same homework, I just asked if I could see it. Then she screamed, "NO!" and hid it. I asked her why, but she just screamed at me again. What was her problem? I was already done, so I wasn't able to copy it anyways...not that I would. She does the same with her drum sticks too. I take a look at it, while it's still sitting on the table, and she snatches it away.

And usually when I'm eating, I put my hand in front of my mouth when I'm chewing. It's like instinct now, I don't want people to see the food in my mouth. When she sees me do that, she mocks me and starts speaking to people with her hand over her mouth. It's so annoying-I just glare at her.

I've never seen any pagans complain about holiday-stealing the way people of some other religions do. We celebrate lots of pagan holidays in America, and I was wondering if Pagans feel like we're stealing their holidays.

I understand many scholars believe masturbation is prohibitted in Islam, but for an unmarried person would it be a good way to protect their chastity? I understand fasting is the best way but under conditions would mastubartion be permissable?

Also, in the Holy Quran is states protecting chastity except from wives and "those whom their right hand possess" i know people say that means slaves, but if it means protected except property owned, can't that mean their right hand?

Also, it's going to be impossible going cold turkey, but would Allah forgive someone who deeply is resentful but still does it sparingly under conditions that harm ones concentration. please HELP!!

We get most of our words from either French, Greek, German, or Latin. My Question is, why did the other languages survived and Latin didn't?

I'd like pro/con speak your mind please! I'm not even big on religion but I do feel that people should be able to have a belief and that school systems should acknowledge that and not just scientific information on how the world is, like evolution.

My essay is about changing some traditions of a culture to better American society. Issues like feminism, sexual preferences are in the essay.

A good portion of Theists no longer deny evolution, yet claim that animals don't have a soul. If we were once like them, when did we obtain a "soul"?

I kind of went from a Christian to atheist overnight? It's hard to explain. My mom is a dedicated christian, as is my sister. But for me it's almost like believing in santa...

I don't know what I believe in anymore..

Has this happened to anyone else??

English is the official language of the United States. It is not Spanish. There are forces to try to make the U.S. bilingual. Learning more language that one is a good thing.

But is the tail wagging the dog when those who won't speak the language of the country in which they live, stubbornly refuse to try to learn it, and instead try to shift the blame as though you, who speak the language of the land, don't speak THEIR language instead? And supposedly the problem is with YOU?

I live on the Texas-Mexico border. My town is 91% Hispanic. It used to not be this way. Now, the first thing you hear in public is Spanish, not English. Many expect you to speak Spanish. I do. But I studied to learn both languages, even though not required to learn something other than the language of my land. By sheer numbers, I'm being told "English isn't good enough if you want to get along with us". Yet this is my land. And we are over-run with illegals who won't adapt. Would it irritate you?

So why don't we eat dogs if pigs have four times the intelligence?
Why don't we eat dead people, there dead so surely they aren't using their meat any more right?
Are we animals?

I really am hoping to get baptised soon (water) and I am just wondering what these are exactly. I have to be in the church for 6 months though. Doesn't scripture say that you should get baptised soon after being saved? Is it just me, or is 6 months a long time! I appreciate however many things you can answer. God bless.

I ask this in R/S because Jesus said that we could only come to the father (God) as little children. Well, for years the "church" has explained that Jesus meant that we must approach God in a humble and subservient manner. (I have even preached that explanation in the pulpit.). I now think Jesus meant to approach "God" we must love everyone. - just my pondering.

Recently I just told Pangel that I loved everyone and asked her if she thought I was senile. I ended the comment by signing "Uncle Wayne age 64 growing toward age 7. Afterwards, I realized that when I was 7, I really did love everyone. I suppose for each person that age is different. So I was just wondering.

So the question is: At what age did you love everyone?

The Old Testament focuses so much on Israel’s
obedience to the Law, yet Christians state that, even back then, salvation
was through faith, not obedience. So how does salvation comesthrough
faith, not obedience, in the Old Testament? Include any scripture if you have proof of your answer
