Our Christian Identity

Just so I know, what do you guys consider to be Latin america?

Oh ok, just curious, you see here we refer to it normally just as central or south america. What is the origin of the denomination Latin america?

Lol, it is impossible to contain in one word the significance of a whole region, we face the same problem while refering to any place, for example the middle east.

No wonder we have such a mixed up world, no one knows east from west, north from south or even up from down. Here is a fun mental experience, try to zoom out on Earth, try to picture it as if viewing from orbit. I wonder if it is right side up where I am, and if it is, it can only be up if compared to something else. It is a real roller-coaster when you completely let go of your coordination, by realising there is no point of reference

Central America, south America and the Carribean!

I don't think Latino is a good description, it suggest that the people speak latin or originate from latin speaking countries like ancient Rome....it would be more accurate to say "spanish-speaking countries" but that would exclude Brazil...

so true!

refering to geographic locations using directions is flawed because the earth is round so anywhere could be west,

for example: in the US california is considered west, but what is west of california? China, but china is considered an eastern country.....

What about MEXICO, Mr. Geography??????? It's considered part of North America. Ha. I still say there's something we don't know about you lurking behind the scenes.:elefant:

The Earth is not perfectly round. It's flattened at the top and bottom, and is therefore known as an oblate spheroid. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!:rollinglaugh:

And quite a few others, FF. Quite a few. Man, I'm gonna smoke your knowledge of Latin America, just for old time's sake. I BE SMOKE'N YA, JUNIOR. Get ready. It might hurt.
