    I view God as a spirit, neither black nor white; however, it does pose an interesting question. Man was made in God’s image, and through the Bible we know that the Garden of Eden was smack in the middle of Africa. So does this make God black? Maybe, maybe not. Does it matter? Should it matter? Nope. I think we shouldn’t lie about what we know, but we shouldn’t sweat what we don’t.

    It is sad to see The Word twisted to nothing more than ‘What ifs’ and second-guessing. There are those who would have others believe that ceremonial laws are the same as others; as if eating fish or wearing wool and linen would be put in the same category as murder. The fact is that there is scripture condemning homosexual acts. However, another fact is that Jesus does not want his children to attack, harm or belittle anyone … sinners or not (anyone remember the female adulteress?). Again, homosexual acts as we know them are a sin, but to treat anyone less than one would treat his/her own family is a sin as well (Mr. Phelps, are you listening?).

    I believe I also tend to agree with Chemama. While I understand that there are foolish people in every nationality, it would seem that more foolishness tends to come from the Caucasian populous. For example, I’ve never had the notion of swimming with sharks while holding bloody meat; or lying in a sleeping bag full of poisonous snakes. Also, while other groups seem to be stuck with the tag of being sexually promiscuous, it would seem that (some) Caucasian women would like to obtain the title of sleeping with the most men in a certain time period. There are plenty of other examples, but I believe the point has been made. I would like to know why. Don’t think I’m stating that all Caucasians are this way, as I know this is not true; however, the evidence is there. Is this just foolhardiness on the part of certain idividuals? And if so, why does it seem that these idividuals tend to be European Americans?
