Religion & Spirituality - 6 December 2007

The main consensus among forensic scientists and theological historians is that Jesus had olive coloured skin, and looked like a middle eastern man:

There is no evidence at all to say he was white, it was created in order to bring christianity to Europe.
Knowing that Jesus is a middle easterner, does that change your opinion on them, or on Jesus himself?
I'm not saying all Christians are racist, so please don't be offended if you're a non-racist christian.

Too many people missed the key concept in my argument. Let's see if it happens again.

God supposedly made man to be dominant and woman to be submissive. But there are strong women in this world and submissive men. Let it never be said that I am the dominant one in the relationship between myself and my girlfriend. I mean, you could-- but you'd be stupid.

Many men, based on this belief, think that they should not take orders from a woman. They also consider women unfit to be put in positions where they would need to make decisions and be responsible-- this, according to them, is a man's job.

This is the same principle as racism. Just because black people commit a lot more crime does not mean that the upper-middle-class black dude who lives across the street is going to steal your car.

In conclusion, I don't care where Eve came from, it is discriminatory to tell strong women that they are unfit to lead.

I understand there are other faiths, I'm just asking. Heck, I'm Jewish and should be doing other things right now but hey, I've been thinking about it. I would walk right up to him and shake his hand and say thank you for your sacrifice on behalf of all of us. Then I'd pull him into a great big hug. Then smile while looking him right in eyes.. How would you react if you met jesus?

right. Are marriages arranged for them?
(I am not a mormon and never intend to be one. I am just curious).
And why does a woman need a man to get to heaven?

evolution or creationism?

2007-12-06 17:20:24 · 45 answers · asked by jasper 1

There are differences between men and women. In fact, there are differences in capabilities between the average man and the average woman. Men have more muscle mass, for instance.

Even though men are stronger than women, we cannot fool ourselves into thinking that this is universally true. For instance, to suggest that Tina the 22 year old black belt in judo is weaker than a 17 year old, 110 pound boy would be complete idiocy.

One of my good friends claims that God created man and woman different, and thus it violates God's wishes for us to reverse the roles of man and woman in society. As I understand it, this is a common apologetic Christian belief.

The general idea here is that presenting men as leaders and women as submissive is not sexist; these are roles condusive to the nature of both genders. However, just as a judo chick would pwn me, so too are there counterexamples to these stereotypes.

I feel sometimes people don't care any more about their own family, friends, or even strangers. I had wreaked my car a couple of years ago and my gf doesn't have a car. And we have to catch cabs to work and it really cost. She has family and friends all around some even go to work at the same place she does or near by. even same hours. 11pm to 7am her sister has 4 cars. my brother has 2 and said he was gonna give me his old one but that's been a few months. My dad has 4 cars and said he was gonna give me 1 months ago. " I am really asking why people so about their SELF now days and don't help others." and don't forget the main question. I remember when I had my car I use to give people rides to work all the time even some strangers that was to drunk to drive ( I worked at a club) I never even asked for gas money. Before I get the words out my mouth now they saying you gots some gas money!! I'm just saying if I have it I will give even the shirt off my back.

in like almost every religion book it says something like love your neighbor or something like that & yet nobody listens to it & claim to hate one another. Also why do some people try to convert others like try & make them believe something that they believe?i mean sure not all religions are good but why force some people into your religion?

He's a FUNDIE!

As If I can't get over my addiction to saying silly fundie things, he's been enabling me... OMG, i don't know what to do! Since he's not the mean variety fundie that likes to bash my religion and anyone who isn't a fundie baptist like him, should I just forgive him and move on?

I feel as if I'm losing my faith. I don't feel like going to Church anymore, when I used to look forward to it all week. I've been praying, but I don't find myself reconnecting with the Lord, as I so desperately hope. I don't know where else to turn. (That's why I'm on yahoo.) How can I open my life to God again?? Please help, I want serious answers! :)
