I have heard many atheists speak of Santa... In sort of a brainwashing style our parents convinced us that there is a Santa, and this is how people believe religion...Because they are "brainwashed" since they were kids... However, a problem comes up...How did the first person in a religion become brainwashed? Or Maybe a better question, What made someone create religion?

So, basically 3 questions
1. How was religion started?
2. Why was religion started?
3. What Compelled someone to spread religion?

(christians, dont speak about Christianity only please..Please speak as Religion in General)

thanks much

Lately, i've been eating and feeling sick, throwing up acid whenever i get too sick. I eat normal, and sometimes even more than that, but i keep losing weight. I'm worried, i don't look healthy, i have a thyroid problem, but my doctor won't see me only two months from now.

I've been feeling horribly exhausted, but why am i losing weight? im eating normal, and not junk food whatsoever. I'm worried about my health. I don't know what to do.

Given the overwhelming evidence that the earth is absolutely older than 6,500 years old, Christians try to justify this by saying that a day in God's eye could be 1'000 years or longer. This is not possible! And this is why.

Adam was made on the sixth day (Genesis 1:26-31) which was supposedly thousand of years long. This was followed by the 7th day which was also thousands of years long. Following the 7th day, Adam fell into sin and was expelled from the Garden. This would mean Adam lived thousands of years, which is false, since he died at age 930 (Genesis 5:5).

Genesis 1:5 surely spoke of literal day and literal night, and the inference from the statement, “And the evening and the morning were the first day,” is that it was a literal day of evening and morning, 24-hours.

Hey everyone. I've been praying pretty much my whole life ever night before bed and it has changed for me every few years. That's because I find out later that I've been saying it wrong so I start saying the new one and than find out something else I was missing in it but anyways. I've seen the Lord's prayer and researched it and there are a few of them. They have a few extra or less lines than others or are tweaked by a few words or so but I want to know is there a main one that all of these are based on or not? I figured doesn't really matter since it's all the same in sense of its purpose but been bothering me. Anyone know? Thank you all for reading and God bless.

I think "once too often" means exactly the same as "very often". Am I right? If not, pleaase tell me in what occasion this idiom is used. Thank you from Japan.

Because I've been putting off guitar lessons for this very reason. I fear I may lose some of my "touch" for piano if I do condition my fingers to play guitar. Am I nuts or is there actually a right or wrong way of doing it or whatever? Any suggestions would be helpful!!!

Ok heres the deal:
Next week my boyfriend is taking me with him to meet his family because a family member is getting married. I have only been to about 2 weddings in my entire life, and I have no clue what to wear! He said something about semi-formal but I still have no idea! Hes mainly taking me to show me off, but I don't want to wear anything that would give a bad first impression as either too showy, or too modest...
What should I wear?
