get mad at me or become really jugemental, because they say they would never approve a relationship between me and a white man and if I forget how most whites hate blacks. They also don't understand why would a nice looking black woman like me would be interested in a white man.
My fiancee is black, but I believe I can still apreciate a good looking white man when I see one. I was the airport last week coming from the Virgin Islands to Florida and a handsome white man was flirting and talking with me the whole time. My friend didn't appreciate it, because the dude was white. I don't think we should have these problems in 2007. What do you think?

Here in Germany you must register your religion with the state and you are taxed on it. For me it would amount to roughly €85 per month (a little over $100). I am of course registered as having no religion (atheist). Would this seperate the true believers from the wannabes in Christianity/Islam etc. Would such a thing reduce the number of non-believers.

Germany has a population of 82,425,000 and 41 - 49% (33,794,250 - 40,388,250) are atheist/agnostic.

All mankind came from stock that originated in Africa. That's a given fact. Therefore everyone, Caucasian, Negroid and Mongoloid deserves the designation "African" in front of their nationality, or no one does. Your thoughts?

I got into a heated discussion this evening at work about this topic. My Co-Worker is a devout Christian (although a very hypocritical one) and he made the claim that since Christmas is about Jesus no one but Christians should even celebrate it. I countered of course with the obvious point that Christmas falls on the same day as a much earlier celebration. He would have none of that though. He was quite ready to deny it completely. So i changed tactics and asked him what he was planning on doing Christmas Eve and Day. Turns out he like many "Christians" is going to get nice and drunk on Christmas Eve and then engage in the time honored tradition of receiving and handing out Gifts. I am wondering if you consider gift giving and receiving to be honoring your Christs birth? That is giving out expensive Gifts to family and friends and receiving the same in return. Would your Christ not prefer that instead of getting drunk and being greedy that you help out the needy?

Remember to take time out of every day to recharge your spiritual stores in whatever way works best for you. For me this is an hour in :Eucharistic Adoration although this morning I found a special recharging moment in a hug from a gentle elderly lady at the nursing home where I work. God comes to us many times where we are.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

I would pick 9:30 a.m. because then I could still stay up late the night before, yet not waste the entire day.

An example of her feelings, "— how painful is this unknown pain — I have no Faith — I dare not utter the words & thoughts that crowd in my heart — & make me suffer untold agony."

Thank you in advance for your openness.

I personally find atheism better, more logical than a religous lifestyle. I've been atheist for 8 yrs and before that I was raised roman-catholic, then protestant, and went Buddhist all on my own(no bad life experiences or anything). I am even curious to learn about Islam.

So, what do you think led people like me away from your religion? Would they choose atheism or another religion? What other factors are there besides society and family?
