On the immigration front in the US there are three types of people:
  • People who embrace immigrants
  • People who fear immigrants may be taking their jobs, because these people have lost jobs and needs jobs...everyone needs a job, unless you're an American politician
  • People who are racist

This applies to legal immigrants. Illegal immigrants spans two categories - those that don't care about illegal immigrants coming into the US and those that do.

I feel like your second point is not quite accurate... I mean, it is a fear, but...

If a legal immigrant takes your job... you lost your job to another American... probably because he was more qualified than you... nobody to blame but yourself


I think your third point covers most people who fear immigrants... humans are inherently tribal/racist... everyone cares more about their family and friends than strangers... the more strange (different color skin, different religion, etc), the less they like them... people must understand if they wish to overcome such things

Strongly older people are like children. Children believe in fairy tales, the old people are also naive, so they are often fooled.
Believe in God not only old people. Many young people also believe in God. I think it has to do with upbringing and poor education.

Children believe because they are gullible and their parents tell them it is true

Older people want to believe there is another life after death (because they can feel death's grasp)



Interesting note that women are more likely to be religious than men as they get older, at least in New Zealand

The third eye is a metaphor pertaining to "the mind's eye"...

Many believe this to be the pineal gland (also nearby are the thalamus, hypothalamus and pituitary glands)

Note: The pineal gland is responsible for producing DMT, a highly potent psychedelic molecule

Proof is not preferable to faith? That is magical thinking, of course proof is preferable to faith. When it comes to inspired writings, I think you should read it ALL and then make an informed opinion.

Read the gospel that was left out of the Bible:
http://www.phoenixsourcedistributors.com/html/j002/

If you are going to read them "ALL", don't forget about the Koran, Bhagavad Gita, The Zohar, et al

P.S. Your "gospel that was left out of the bible" begins with this disclaimer:

Where does the mayor of an impoverished city with a drug problem get tens of thousands of dollars to pay hitmen?

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/02/rodrigo-duterte-accused-paying-police-kill-170220062118472.html

Why would he pay decades worth of his own salary to have opponents of the Davao Magkantot Unggoy Cartel killed?


How do Presidents who claim a salary of  below $200,000 have $100,000,000 homes and spend more money than they make each year?

Why do you have Chinese traditional religion but you don't have a Japanese Shinto? It's a very nice religion full of myths, stories that focuses on spirituality.
It also doesn't force you to do anything, like Christianity and Islam do. You don't have to go to church every sunday or pray facing Mekka Cheesy
But really no religion is best, an educated person doesn't need to rely on gods to help him live his life.

Shinto has been there the entire time...

Other - Ethnic (African, Sikhism, Celtic, Germanic paganism, Shinto, etc)    - 3 (1.7%)

From what I can tell, Muslims make up less than 5% of the worlds terrorism...

According to the FBI, 94% of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States from 1980 to 2005 have been by non-Muslims.

There have been over one thousand terrorist attacks in Europe in the past five years. Take a guess at what percent of those terrorists were Muslim. Wrong, now guess again. It’s less than 2%.

I am not an anti muslim but we all know that this is right in most cases they are responsible for terrorism.

I would argue that the media pushes the opinion that Muslims are responsible for most of the terrorism... but, the media pushes a lot of opinions which are not concordant with reality

Ok, well that is just America... but Europe... that is where all the terrorist attacks are, right?... wrong!

I think its about the fact that the guy said only sex with kids who are not in puberty should count as pedophilia.

Man good lord how the trump fans loved and supported a gay pedo...
But well maybe trump will legalise sex with 13 year olds then he will be only gay without being pedo  Roll Eyes

Given Trump's track record of raping 13 year old girls... I wouldn't be surprised if legalizing child rape is on his to-do list

In this context I'd say the fool is preaching that the bible knows everything

Scientists do not claim to have all the answers, but are still searching (the wise man)
