Can I ask of all the Christian people who live their lives as good Christian people, have you actually 'Read' the Bible? And even more importantly, understood it? Or do you assume the religious person at your place of worship will keep you right?

Just asking. :-D

Happy Winter Solstice dudes!






Please don't quote ANY religious text, i was just asking YOUR thoughts!

Perhaps the most ridiculous concern of those who howl about the mythological “war on Christmas” is the claim that the greeting “Happy Holidays” undermines the religious origins of the season.

Swing and a miss.

Webster’s Dictionary refers to the origin of the word “holiday” as “holy day.” Etymology: Middle English, from Old English hAligdæg, from hAlig holy + dæg day. Info.com offers this definition “. a religious feast day” or “holy day.”

Thus the greeting “Happy Holidays” is the equivalent to “Happy Holy Days.”

Because there is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER that the etymology of the phrase “Happy Holidays” has theological origins, one could accurately conclude that those who find the greeting unacceptable don’t reject it on its lack of religious affiliation, but rather because it does not EXCLUSIVELY accommodate their particular religious affiliation.

That, my friends, can only be regarded as an example of intolerance.

So "Happy Holidays" to one and all!

I will be in Houston for a week after Christmas and I was just wondering if the shuttle was going to be landing there and within that time frame. I figure that would be a pretty cool thing to see. Any information you might have about when this shuttle is coming back to Earth will be appreciated! Thanks

Regarding infidels (unbelievers), they are the Muslim's "inveterate enemies" (Sura 4:101). Muslims are to "arrest them, besiege them and lie in ambush everywhere" (Sura 9:5) for them. They are to "seize them and put them to death wherever you find them, kill them wherever you find them, seek out the enemies of Islam relentlessly" (Sura 4:90). "Fight them until Islam reigns supreme" (Sura 2:193). "Cut off their heads, and cut off the tips of their fingers" (Sura 8:12).

I have considered myself an agnostic atheist for my entire adult life. I believe it is impossible to prove the existence of any deity, but if pressed for a 'yes' or 'no' answer to the question, "Is there a higher being", I would have to answer, with confidence, "no".

That said, I also consider myself as someone who WANTS to believe that there is something more, something greater, and something past this life to look forward to. Those thoughts have not caused me to believe that there is something greater, but as I said, I would truly like to.

Are there other people whose religious beliefs are similar to mine, yet feel the same way?
