To refuse to intermarry with people of different races to stay racially pure, or refuse to eat with them or demand your own country just for your race away from other races or to only remember the suffering of your race and not of others?

Atheists won’t threaten you with an eternity of pain and torment if you choose not to believe in what we say. Atheists are inspired by their love of the human spirit and their desire to see it fly like an unfettered eagle to unimagined heights.

I'm an atheist who teaches evolution. Almost half the people in the United States claim to believe in Genesis. I'm truly baffled. For creationists only, what do you truly believe?

a.) I believe everything in the Bible. If the Bible said black was white and white was black, that would be the truth.
b.) I believe that Genesis is scientifically equivalent or superior to the scientific theory of evolution based on scientific merits.
c.) Science is a rational belief systems, but it isn't necessary to seek rational explanations for everything.
d.) If there is one flaw in the Bible, then the Bible loses stature.
e.) I feel under societal pressure to deny evolution.
f.) One would lose entrance into Heaven if they believed in evolution.
g.) other

Please no cut and pastes.

When Jesus told parables it was assumed they did not actually happen. If the Old Testaments are comprised of parables, and people believe in them literally, there must be a passage that tells them to believe in it literally. What is it?

it is OK to let my 12 year old boy read/see a magazine with semi nude?
My son and I were at a library reading for 2 hours and when we were leaving he ask me if he could show me a magazine(he was all red, too shy).

The magazine had this beautiful girls and it was sealed (plastic all over)
the name of magazine was FHM .
I have tell mim before that if he has ANY questions about ANY topic he must trust me or his dad, instead of "friends".
He asked me if I could buy it 4 him; I told him that I had to ask his dad 2. My husband did not answer me he just laugh(nicely).
Should we buy it and let him see it (I know that he had click on links on computer and has seen some girls). He will be 13 soon
please help me decide.
Don't you think it is nice that he trust us?

That is such an medieval concept it makes me want to cry.

What evidence is there that diseases come from Satan? NONE.

Did we invent telescopes for nothing?

People blaming sins for diseases is what lead to witchhunts, many genocides, and corruption. Please LEARN from history for goodness' sake.

part from quran . Tarıq:

CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night! (1)

2. And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night?

3. It is the star that pierces through darkness:

4. no human being has ever been left unguarded by it

Since we as Christians claim the Bible is true, and atheist don't think so, I thought I would point out some things and then see what you think. Although I cannot list every possible thing in the Bible, I can say this. As a Christian who believes in the Bible, I should also expect that History should unfold and develop the way the Bible says right?

Fact: In 1948 Israel became a nation again
The Bible said it would: Jeremiah 30:3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

Fact: Europe is being revived
The Bible says: an end-time global government will arise and break the world into ten regions described as the "Revived Roman Empire."
(Rev. 13:1-2 & 17:12-13)

Fact: Globalism
The Bible tells us that a One World Government will be set up. It's already happening!

So, now what?

I received a free "karmic" reading as a fun gift. When I got it, it was EERILY on the mark! I know how words are used in horoscopes in a very generic way so they could apply to anyone. Well, these were specific and very accurate!!

I'm not into that type of stuff but it got me thinking! Do you think this stuff could be, GULP, real????

Then why are we prone to so many diseases!?!? Also, humans have a very impractical bone structure compared to other animals. (Read it from National Geographic). We run a lot less faster, injure ourselves alot more easier, etc.
