Thug meets Hoodrat

Why limit yourself to the race you happened to have been born into? This situation may get even worst for BW, if the cultural trends are any indication. If the world continues to shrink, and diverse peoples come into more contact with each other, the old social concepts of race will not be as important as they are now. If you believe that is inevitable, why hold unto these archaic notions of race loyalty. If your status as "BW" is not doing anything for you, even in your own race than why hold on to it? Life is to short to not be happy if it is at all possible. Find it with whoever you can.  (Nov 12, 2009 | post #16)

Why Did God Allow Suffering and Pain In His Creation?

If I were God, and felt it necessary to create something, I would have created a paradise, without the possibility of pain or evil. I have heard many explanations from believers, as to why evil exist, however; none of them makes sense to me. Its a stretch for me to even consider the notion of free will as a valid explanation, but what about the creatures of creation. What reward do they get for all thier pain and suffering?  (Nov 12, 2009 | post #1)
