were thrown out of the Garden of Eden? I understand why you think 6,000 years of human existence since then is important. But has that time already come, or is it future?

Yesterday I asked about assumptions of Black women: I tackled some stereotypes that arent true such as

Black women being unnattractive and out of shape (not true)

Black women being portrayed falsely in Rap videos: (Black girls arent hos)

and Black women being dumb (totally not true)

I actually said that there are plenty of beautiful, educated and hard working Black women that arent getting any credit - MY QUESTION WAS DELETED!!

Whats going on here? I didnt do anything wrong but yet somone felt my question violated something. This is ridiculous!

Last night, I replied to a question asking what the different was between Christianity and a cult and I replied that by definition, Christianity IS a cult.

Below is the definition according to Webster's. I'd like Christians to tell me how Christianity does NOT fit the first two definitions.

1: formal religious veneration : worship
2: a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents
4: a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator
5 a: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad b: the object of such devotion

The etymology, also from Webster's: Etymology: French & Latin; French culte, from Latin cultus care, adoration, from colere to cultivate
Date: 1617

I didn't want a bunch of strangers answering my question. I'd much rather hear from people I know.

Anyway, my husband was told this by someone in his unit (we're in Germany, for those who don't know). Is it true?

Info: Assassin's Creed is a video game.

I believe in God, and call it naivity or whatever you choose, however, I have yet to hear someone personally state that they absolutely, unequivocally do not believe in the existence of God, a higher power or deity of some sort. I'm truly respectfully interested in finding if this is true that there are people who do not believe. Thanks for your sharing.

I'm mean really, what's the problem. I know the PC crowd lives to whine, but how is believing in the Mother and Child offensive?

Help me understand because I think it's insane and SELFISH.

For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.
1 Corinthians 11:6

I have never seen a Christian woman cover her hair, but the Bible says they should?

If this is true, I think Christians should leave Muslim women that wear the Hijab alone.

Does it bother you seeing Christmas lights up or having people wish you a "Merry Christmas" in passing? Why or why not? I just ask because it seems like everything is called "Holiday" now. I went to purchase a Christmas tree and the sichn was advertising Holiday Trees! I figure if we don't buy these trees any other time besides Christmas why cant they be called Christmas trees? I don't personall celebrate Kwanzaa but I am not offended when someone says "Merry Kwanzaa" (which does happen to me). Please explain why this does or does not bother you personally.

Assume we do not know what the truth about religion and the existance of God is.
so which person is better?
1. Someone who really seeks the truth but gets lost and chooses the wrong option (wrong religion).
2. Someone who just follows his/her parents religion, that is the true religion, but does not even know why he/her is doing it. He or she does not care.

Isn't great that we live in a country where people can degrade, mock, insult, etc... my God. I mean, no one has been executed or no riots have taken the lives of thousands. We just simply make fun of the Lord Our God. I'm not saying to go start bloody death riots, but people, come on!!! I know that most of you out there are not Christians, but why do we have to mock every religion. Can't we just leave all religions out of movies. I can't shove God down everyone's throat, but they shouldn't curse my God. Sorry non beleivers, but if we continue down this road, our country will just get worse. We are the chosen country, but He will only put up with so much !!! Movies have been getting a little carried away. The farther the movies go, the worse our imaginations will become. This world is our chidren's backyard. Is this the yard you want your kids and grandkids to play in? Any opinions that do NOT insult my God please !!!

Why didn't he just send noah out on a mission preaching the "good news" to everyone?

Was he unable to convert the "sinners", so he resorted to killing them and their children?
