[quote]When you or anyone else can prove to me that a large number of people get mad everytime someone is arrested then i can take such a comment seriously but again i go back to the same question. Without knowing why it happened, without knowing any facts what so eve, without knowing who the Black person or the White person is; why would anyone be mad about a police officer doing his job? Should we not wait till we know if it was wrong before was say it was wrong?[/quote]

[quote]I'm curious. Why do you see racism here? Because the man arrested was Black? Is arresting a Black man always a sign of racism? I'm even more curious as to why no body cared to find out the truth but instead just to conclusions and damage a persons life without knowing or even making an effort to find out the truth[/quote] I'm not seeing it, so much as wondering and examing it. You can't deny there is a big stereotype for blacks (and other races). No matter how hard we as a soci

Liberalism, at it's core wouldn't emphasise big government. It comes down to its two modern incarnation: Contemprary ("Welfare") and Classical. In a sense, the modern form of liberalism is a...variance, and perso

[quote]Then what is a system of beliefs essentially a religion. [/quote] You're incorrect in a sense. A set of beliefs does not equate with it being a religion.

My point was that you've been coming across like you are claiming that secularists are the root of evil, etc. etc. Not saying you shouldnt say that if you believe it, but that it just rubs people the wrong way.

~Charles~ That's the thing, I've also wondered about the issue of race when looking at this incident. Was the person that called the police station doing it because it was a break in, or because it was a black man doing the break in? I agree that the race card and all that is tiring, but given that racism still exists, i think the question should be put out there and investigated. If it wasn't the case then it wasn't the case. As much as I'm sure most people would love to

[quote]That's why Christ came. He came to prove that he was from God. He met all the criteria that was set down in the OT and then some. His birthright was not questioned, his miracles were unmatched, his teachings were superb, his authority was felt and recognized, and his resurrection sealed the deal especially to one doubter in the end. So the starting point could be right there. Even non-Christians wrote about this man and his claims.[/quote] That only proves

[quote]Science can't and will never be able to disprove God.[/quote] This is weird, but the more I study philosophy and people like Soren Kierkegaard the more I would have to agree with the idea that God can neither be proven or disproven. The largest reason behind it, is faith. How can you prove something that someone claims is beyond our perception/realm, and has faith in it. (Other things set aside) You can try, sure, and I would support someone in looking for answer
