4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoI asked a question about Osama and his caravan but it was deleted by the censors?
The question was: "Osama has called for a caravan of martyrs. Should his camel have one hump or two?"
I then asked this question with an inadvertant typographical error using "Obama" instead of "Osama" and it wasn't censored.
Does this mean that it is OK when used in reference to a black politician, but somehow offensive when inquiring about a terrorist? (I have been called a racist and worse for my typo, so I was just wondering).

4 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoIf someone does not believe any scripture, how would you convince them there is a deity?

Or do you think he would donate the camel to the poor and the meek so they wouldn't have to walk?
