[quote]If I say the "French are snobbish" (which I don't feel BTW) it could be because of a personal experience and that would be opinion or observation.[/quote] being a racist or not is a state of mind... is it not? ... and that is what an opinion is ... based on personal experience, cultural environment, education ... or whatever ... does not make any difference .... i
[quote]It's not racist (in spite of what "thinkaloud" would have you believe). Fact is, obamas black supporters have been screaming "racism" at nearly anyone who won't vote for obama.[/quote] This is very disappointing ... really it is.

[quote]My question is, is this comment racist?[/quote] Two points: 1- replace the word "black" with white, or "republican" or "Democrats" what would you say? 2- let's assume it is not racist (i.e. not implying that all those blacks of "carloads" [as in cargo?] dont really have a mind to think and they support this guy on
[quote]So the present Iranian president is calling on Muslims to kill in the name of Allah...and you know what...no where do I hear Muslim voices condemn him or deny that killing innocent people (infidels) is part of the plan for world domination.

[quote]Even if all these things were somehow brought to a halt or fixed, innocent people would still be attacked and killed.

[quote]The command to fight against "those who fight you" until "there prevail justice and faith in Allah" (or "until religion is for Allah" in a more literal translation) indicates when Muslims should stop fighting against unbelievers: not when a peace treaty has been concluded or when negotiations have settled disputed issues, but when Allah's religion prevails[/quote] it seems you are more interested in misrepres

True, it wasn't that the eating of the Tree of Knowedge would give them knowledge per se[/quote] if that is the case ... then how is it "tree of knowledge"? it is just a tree. period. no specific function .... God would never say something contradictory ... remember ??? you said that yourself and I agree.... that tells you that whoever c
[quote]Here by what you said (in bold), you apparently don't mean what you say. You just did say that the Tree of Life was not in Sacred Scripture...yet, not only is it there, but there is great meaning behind it's being there of which I tried to explain.[/quote] take my word for it lula ... you are really confused. i didnt say that the current bible talks about the exis
[quote]So, yes, violence in the name of Islam is occurring everyday around the world. The problem is we haven't seen TA or Muslims in general, squarely condemn Muslim jihadists for doing these horrific things. Have you noticed this? Do you abhor these horrific acts of jihadism? Why haven't you condemned them? [/quote] I think you are totally confused and uninformed.... <span style="font-siz

[quote]You are correct that there was only the one Tree of Good and Evil from which they were forbidden to eat. However, Genesis 2:9 states that God brought forth the Tree of Life also in the middle of the Garden of Paradise...along with the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.[/quote] [quote]The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was called such because God had forbidden them to eat of this tree and that if he transgresse

[quote]And neither Eve nor Adam would have ever thought to eat of that tree without the serpent. God doesn't lie, but he doesn't necessarily give the whole truth either.
