If you were cold and hungry, lost in the rain, somewhere and two vehicles showed up simultaneously. Out of car 1 emerges a decent looking white guy with a blanket and says he has food a quarter of a mile away & will let you use his phone to call for help. Out of car 2 is a decent looking black guy who offers the same assistance. Who do you get help from? LOL

Recently there was a question on Y/A "DVD glorifying suicide bombing on sale for Muslim children in the UK.." ,
I would like to share some facts about suicide in ISLAM ....
From the below sayings of the last Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. it is clear that suicide for any reason or purpose is not allowed in ISLAM.

those who feel the same as I,---When you get those highly opinionated "power of prayer", Righteous "Us Christians VS 'those others' " and "If you are Christian you must act and feel like... this" often with covert and overt threats of condemnation if you do not send them on" type e-mails do they upset you?

Do they seem unchristian to you? Isn't tolerance an important Christian behavior?

I've read that St. Ambrose (suspected of being gay) was translating ancient scripture to the Latin Vulgate Bible. He didn't know how to handle a certain passage so he came up with "good will". Actually no such thing in ancient Judaism or Greek. Scholars say it really translated more to "satisfaction"! Why can't I get a Christmas card with, Peace on Earth to Men of Satisfaction?

I was reading another question and someone gave this answer...

(Titus 3:9) But avoid foolish questions and genealogies and contentions, and strivings about the Law, for they are unprofitable and vain.

I am translating this to mean stay ignorant and do not ask questions.

What a deep passage. "it all makes no sense, therefore, do not question the roots"

I see so many white people posting these horrible questions on yahoo answers and as somebody with a significant amount of european heritage, I can't say it makes me look or feel good about having it. It makes non-whites think that all white people are racist or have racist thoughts and while I will say a lot of them do there are those who don't.

But that doesn't justify some non-whites racism towards whites, specifically from latinos and asians who don't have the history with whites that blacks do. And even so, a lot of latinos have white blood in them but yet I see more of them refusing service to white people and being the biggest bigots I ever seen.

I deal with non-whites at my job and in general judging ME for things other people have done. (By the way I'm part Puerto Rican as well). I'm sick of racist whites who do make white people look bad and the non-whites who believe its okay to be intolerant just because of a few (okay not a few but still) bad apples.

Sometimes I get into these really weird moods where it's like I suddenly become very aware I'm gay, and then do something freaky, like laugh and then yell "GAY!" really loudly, or skip down the high street with a bisexual Wizard-of-Oz style.

Ever have one of those? =)

does anybody else find it a little awkward that the main reason people are christians, even if they deny it or dont realize it, because of the "rewards" to redeam in heaven and because they think if they dont they will suffer in agony in hell.

life is never black and white, whos to say theres no middle ground(and i swear if anyones says the bible they're unimaganitive)

"Animals" rape, steal and murder. Survival of the fittest, they act on basic instincts. Not all animals do all of these things, but it's pretty safe to say that most wild animals are sinners by Christian standards. They do not repent for these sins or worship any God. My question is will these animals all go to Hell? Are we so selfish to think that we were the chosen species to be created in the image of a divine spirit? I mean we are just another animal and have given ourselves the name human. Because we are capable of abstract thought to create ideas and beliefs and have developed language to share them with one another we are somehow more important than these other animals? We can't teach them language so we can't teach them good and bad and save their "souls"? These animals should burn in Hell while we can attain Heaven? We think we are more civilized than these other animals who live naturaly off the earth while our civilization creates the unnatural things that destroy it?
