We are looking for someone to correct the Spanish sentences. Contact me if you are interested in helping others to learn Spanish. Please help each other with corrections as you are able. There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words!

En Europa no hay mucha gente religiosa, y no hablamos nunca de Dios, porque, para nosotros las creyencias son algo muy personal.

In Europe there aren't many religious people and we never speak of God, because, for us, beliefs are something very private.

Jesus confronted religious leaders as "white-washed tombs" because they took great care of appearances on the outside but were unclean and dead inside.

Jesús se enfrentaba a los líderes religiosos como "sepulcros blanqueados" por fuera lucen hermosos pero dentro estaban sucio y muerto.

I am a spiritual person, not a religious person. To me, religiosity is riddled with negativity while spiritualism is rife with positivity. To each his own, I'm not looking for an argument.

Soy una persona espiritual, no religiosa. Para mí, la religiosidad es plagada con negatividad mientras el espiritualismo está llena de positividades. A cada cual lo suyo, no quiero empezar una disputa.

Yo creo que no tiene por que cerrarse, no tiene nada de malo debatir, y la respuesta tiene que ver con el tema, aparte de que nadie esta imponiendo su opinión a otros - Neox, Jan 20, 2014
Neox, pero los hombres pueden hacerlo también por otros razones como tienen aversión del color de piel. No, a mí, es la culpa de hombre, no por cualquier causa, pero respeto el pensamientos de otros. - 0095ca4c, Jan 20, 2014
@Esteban...well, it wasn't a question, it was the word of the day posed by SD management. Neox is correct, nothing wrong with discussion as long as the discourse is general in nature and about theories rather than individuals but that's just my two cents - 0095ca4c, Jan 20, 2014

Para los científicos la creencia en varias cosas es casi religiosa, porque creen sin la observación de evidencia directa. Hasta recientemente incluido el Higgs boson, pero ahora sí hay un observación directa.

For scientists the belief in some things is almost religious, because they believe without the observation of direct evidence. Untill recently including the Higgs boson, but now there is a direct observation.

No es necesario ser religioso para tener un creer.

Pero ser un miembro de una religión es necesario creer.

One need not be religious to have a belief.

But being a member of a religion it is necessary to believe.

Kindle to love or wrath consume me quite ,

Better than in the Temple lost outright

Muchas personas tienen distinto modos de ser religioso. Algunas son miembras de una iglesia, otras no. Muchas personas religiosas son pacíficas y generosas, otras son belicosas y intolerantes. La religión es un aspecto de la vida que es muy complicado, pero ha sido una parte de la vida humana por un tiempo muy largo.

Many people have different ways of being religious. Some are members of a church, others not. Many religious people are peaceful and generous, others are warlike and intolerant. Religion is an aspect of life which is very complex, but it has been a part of human life for a very long time.
