ok im not only talking about the blacks but other ethnic groups too....
Did you guys realize in italy if you dont have money the government will change your babies name? What if they did that in america?
So the main question is do you think the government should be able to change babies names??
this is taken from an article

When the boy was about five months old, a city hall clerk brought the odd name to the attention of a tribunal, which informed the couple of an administrative norm which bars parents from giving "ridiculous or shameful" first names to children.

Religious say "Well, God created us out dust"

Atheists say "we were not created by God, everything began with the big bang. It hit the earth and life began from abiotic organisms."

Religious say "Well, it makes more sense than God exist, than the rumor that a rock came from nowhere, was pushed by nothing, hit something, and "boom" life began."

Atheists say "hahaha, that doe snot make sense at all."

Why do we call sense? because you statement make "more" sense and mine make less sense, then your statement is true?

Evolution and Creationism are based and thing we did not see. I have yet to see a transitioning fossil. I have yet to see that dinosaur with one wing. Or that fish with one leg. Were transitioning species inmortal or what?

Webster's Third New International Dictionary says " Intended as transliteration of Hebrew YAHWEH, the vowel points of Hebrew ADHONAY ( my lord ) being erroneously substituted for those of YAHWEH, from the fact that in some Hebrew manuscripts the vowel points of ADHONAY ( used as a auphemism for YAHWEH ) were written under the consonants YHWH of YAHWEH to indicate that ADHONAY was to besubstituted in oral reading for YAHWEH. Jehovah is a Christian transliteration of the tetragrammon long assumed by many Christians to be the authentic reproduction of the Hebrew sacred name for God, but now recognized to be a late hybrid form never used by the Jews"

Is this supported by other reference books? Is it possible that JWs call their God after all with the wrong name and they are so serious about not angering their God with unproper names?

Do they have to do some "just in case they are using the wrong name for their God" deeds or do regular 'works' cover this?

I saw a show on the history channel that there are something like 175 cultures that have a "great flood" story in their distant past - the historian (a non-Christian) estimated the time of these stories to be around 3000BC and that it was caused by an asteroid

could be Noah's flood and the Bible is the account of what happened to the Israelites during that disaster

I've been here since Oct last year and it never occurred to me that FSM might be a real religion. I always took it as a joke.

So, is it a joke or is it a real thing?

Yeah, yeah, for someone who's been here for so long - I'm supposed to know that already

It is very hard for me to learn anything about wicca when noone else I know is wiccan! My family is not supportive and when I brought up yule... well my brother just told me to "stop with that witch talk". It really irritates me because I do not know very much about wicca and I really want to learn.

The are so many claims against religion based on science. There are just as many claims against science based on relgion. Does anyone have the forethought to believe in both; a God and scientific method?

Do you think it is proper to send a Christmas card back to someone who sends you one? I know Christmas isn't about what you get in return.. but just wondering what you think the etiquette is for this. It seems like nowdays.. people aren't sending them anymore, we sent out 40 cards this year and have only received 6! Seems sad. We probably won't make all this effort next year. Best Wishes to everyone!

Genesis 6:3. Do you believe a man has to walk in the flesh or is there another way a man can walk?....and God can come back to you and we live again 900 yrs old. I ask this all the time unto God, do we have to be damed to live 120 yrs old, or are you just looking to see if anyone really misses life, and will see if they will seek for you to come back to us with your spirit and give us life more abundantly.

so my question to ask you is do you think it is obtainable to recive life back to the "way it was suppose to be"? God just said we had to die, not die quickly? to live "again" at 960 yrs or so?
