Native Americans Do You Ever Get Annoyed Or Confused When People Call You Indian? ?
I thought maybe Native Americans might get a little annoyed or confused, by why people keep calling Indian, when they’re not from India. Not that it is bad to be from there, but I see it leading to some confusion. Just wanted to see what you all think.
2 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups6 months agoHow do you develop interest in other cultures without xenophobic people hating you? ?
For instance, I have always been interested in other cultures, especially the ones that I think are highly misunderstood or stereotyped in a negative way. For example, I think there’s a lot people could learn about Arab culture, that often goes misunderstood. So I’m wondering how to learn more about it, without Anti-Arab people casting their hateful comments on me. Although, I also am interested in many other cultures as well like Latin American, Asian, European, etc.
I guess I don’t want to deal with ignorance based comments or get into huge arguments with people.
3 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 year agoWhat type of study deals with generational issues? ?
For example, I noticed that gen x I think it is and millennials seem to be less religious than older generations, generally speaking. Although, they’re are some exceptions. Plus, it seems like younger generations are more progressive as well, again with exceptions.

So, I heard on the news about what’s going at the Turkey boarder with Syria and how up to recently the Kurds were helping the US fight the war in Syria, but the president withdrew troops there and now Turkey is attacking the Kurds. Just trying to understand what’s going on there.
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 year agoIs my Day Gecko sick?
I noticed that she hasn't moved much in the last two days. Currently she is laying next to the meal warm dish I have for her. I have a humidifier that I run for 30 mins a day in the afternoon. I recently got a dozen crickets for her but I don't know if she ate any. I did put calcium on them for geckos however. I noticed that there are some brown winged small bugs in the terrarium that might have gotten in when I bought the crickets.
Anyway, can you tell from the photo and the details above if she might be sick?
I appreciate your response.
2 AnswersReptiles6 years agoIs my Day Gecko okay?
I recently bought a Madagascar Day Time Gecko and today I noticed that she looked a little pale but the tip of her noose is still normal looking. I've been using a Repti Fogger for about 30 mins a day at about medium mist. Also she's been eating crickets with calcium dusted on them.
Thanks for the help.
3 AnswersReptiles6 years agoWould you agree that there are things that go against the law of nature?
Okay so here is my argument. I believe that because something isn't what scienece would say is normal doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. For example, in the past and in some rare cases today, people still eat each other, even though humans weren't designed to eat other people. So just because the earth may not need a God I don't think means that one can't exist. Would you agree?

I mean really, if God is full of mercy and love, then why would he hate people just because they are gay?
17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoWhy is it that Jews can't touch matches or electrical outlets during religious holidays?
I have a Jewish neighbor that always ask me to light matches for her during certain Jewish holidays; she says it because she's not allowed to touch them during these holidays. So, I'm wondering what the reason for this is. Thanks.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoHow is this a coincidence?
I would like to know how God can not exist when various religions believe in relatively the same God and have basically the same history and be spred over different time periods and locations. For example Islam and Christianity. They both believe that God created Adam and Eve and in the angel Gabriel. Did the same person write both books and just happen to lie about it? Or am I just off on my information?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoMuslims, does this verse state that Chrisitans and Jews can also go to heaven if they do good?
So, my friend who studies different religions was telling me that me that there is a verse ( I forgot the Arabic word) that states that Chrisitans and Jews can go to heaven as well. I think it's verse 62 of Al-baqarah. Which says in English, " Lo! Those who believe (in that which is revealed unto thee, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans - whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve." Sukran. (:
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoAdam and Eve historical event or conceptual story?
So, I have heard that science basically states that due to all the differences in DNA or something like that, that it is basically impossible for humans to have descended from two ancestors and that there must have been more than two humans on earth when people were first introduced. So, my question is, do you think we descended from Adam and Eve or is Adam and Eve merely a story of free will? Personally I am undecided.
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoWhen are people going to trust agencies like the NSA and the CIA more?
