hellfire and damnation, smoke and fire, demons and death, pain and suffering, disease and plagues, I thought God was supposed to love his children? Instead he terrorizes them.

This has to do with a song that has some lyrics in it that I may or maynot have correct.

"it has "sidewalk santa"

"it's a magical or beautiful morning and children laughing , Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"

then there is a lot of "la, la, la la, la, la , la"


I know also that in the beginning there sounds like a crowd conversing with each other. It is an upbeat song nothing sappy at all and I know it is not Silver Bells.

any idea on what the Christmas song this could be. It is at least a decade old. Thanks for looking even if you can not help :)

There seem to be a lot of opinions about how the term originated.

When I was in school I learned it came from the time of the Plague in England as sneezing was one of the first symptoms. So they were basically saying "I hope you don't die"

Since moving to America I have heard a whole load of other reasons for it relating to spirits and demons.

I just checked wikipedia and they seem to agree with me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bless_you

Where does this demon idea come from?

Is the demon thing just something Americans invented?

I am amazed by this. But I heard it from a god freak..

Apparently, god created all this so you can serve him and his wishes.

Do you really velieve that an all seeing and al knowing thing requires this of you? He already knows what your going to do anyway. Seems quite pointless.

And just how could you possibly serve him???

Serve him with what? What doesnt he have already? what could he possibly be lacking.

Why do so many self-proclaimed atheists insist on trying to humiliate Christians?
I find it so enlightening to find so many "open-minded" or "atheist" people on Answers trying to degrade the belief of millions of people. Why are atheists so consumed by what Christians do and say? If you are what you say, then you should see us as a bunch of brainwashed morons and mostly ignore us. But you don't. You insist on smearing us, spitefully and passionately. As atheists shouldn't you be dispassionate and analytical? My thought is that those of you who call yourselves atheist are not at all. It's NOT that you don't BELIEVE in God. You HATE God (even though you know He exists), the Bible, and all of His people. Otherwise, why protest so passionately?

All you see now on MTV and BET is nasty vidoe hos, grills, eye-blinding bling, and 24 inch rims. What ever happen to "The Message"? What ever happened to talking about the issues that are really happening to the Black community now. Why has rap/hip-hop gotten so materialistic and pointless? Why have women in hip-rap only been reduced to hos, baby makers, baby mamas, and acessories?

can all theist pray to god for terrorist so that, they may understand that there nothing better in life than love for others, they give up path of armed struggle to non violent mode of protests, similar to that Gandhi experimented in india and south africa.

1) there is only one god so there is no meaning in saying which religion is better, the only issue is to understand god better, lead a better life before god and men.

2) Time has proved different ethnicities, cultures, politics,religions, castes and sects can co-exist in a country and can be prosperous than any other singular society.

3) It is time for all groups to come together leave violent modes of protest including terrorism, come to an understanding in all possible areas that is having unresolved issues.

do you think there is hope for non violence in this world? if you do, please pray, ask your friends and family to pray with all their heart, so that people will leave violence and increase in love for fellow human beings

When you can't compare apples and oranges. We were the only race of people forced into this country. Everybody else came on their own, but when they are faced with adversity, they want to compare their pain and strife to slavery and negative issues black people still face everyday

Why do people on here type like ignorant idiots, and than complain when you say you don't understand them. I am sorry but I am not able to understand questions that are misspelled or have mass amount of broken English in them. If you have a serious question then take the time to type it correctly. Who agrees?

I understand their worth when they build schools and teach them useful skills to survive within a multi-cultural society. But how do you feel about missionaries telling them that their ways are wrong, and that they need to be Christian, etc now?

Nostradamus enthusiasts have credited him with predicting numerous events in world history, from he predicted the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte, Hitler, both World Wars, and the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Apollo moon landings, the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, the Challenger disaster, the events of 9/11and the Great Fire of London. His perdictions end in Aug of 2006. The Bible talks of a last final battle that will lead to the end of the world. Now the middle east seems as if this final battle may be days away. So what do you think?
