I do. I pray for people who are so full of fear/doubt/anger and are lost, that the Lord would enter their hearts and touch them spiritually, and save them from themselves. In Jesus name, Amen

I see many comments from people who feel that other people are pushing their religious beliefs on them. Could this also be the case with holidays being celebrated in schools? Many people are against having prayer in school, why take out prayer, but leave in religious holidays? Except for the political holidays, if you check the background of these holidays, they all have some type of religious background to them. I hear many people say, "Well it's just for fun", if an atheist parent does not believe in the Bible, God, or Jesus, wouldn't they possibly feel as thought Christians are pushing these holidays down their children's throat? What about other religions who don't share Christian beliefs? Halloween? That has got to be about the most unchristian holiday of them all, yet, many Christians celebrate it. I do not understand the reasoning of school boards, principals, and the state on this matter.

I am just curious. I had asked about the Malleus Maleficarum last night and it seemed that no one had read it. Christians I would think would want to read that text as it is the manual for witch hunting used by the Inquisition. I suppose I could ask the same of the Atheist, but any religious text is different than theirs.

I'm not opposed to ALL war, was in fact for the Iraq war in the beginning because I felt Saddam had WMD, if not he was pursueing it. I felt like we messed up things there and tried to fix it by standing up an Iraq military and police force.

1. Do you feel based on your research that we have done a good job of standing up the Iraq military and police force?

2. Do you feel that now is the time to return all/majority of American troops home?

3. Do you desire a new American foreign policy, and what steps have you taken to ensure this, if only to prepare to vote in 2006?

Thanks

After many years of thought and input, I have decided that I do not believe in "God". Jesus may have lived and done wonderful things, but I do not believe he "saved" everyone. I asked a question a few days ago referring to God's name. I got a lot of answers. Some referred to other religions. I believe that all religions are actuall the same but that with various interpretations they have seperated. If you believe anything strongly enough you can make it "real". I have nothing against those who have "religion". It is good to believe in something. Praying to something, trusting in something, and being with people who have the same thoughts is good for humans. However, having said that, just because you believe in something strongly, it doesn't make it real. I believe in myself and my abilities. I will not save the human race, but I will be a good person and treat others fairly and with respect. Does anyone else feel this way? I finally feel free of guilt over not believing.

We all know when you see a kid from WHITE FATHER, ASIAN MOTHER.. he is biracial. BLACK FATHER, WHITE MOTHER also. In mexico there's people who are Lighter than others.. some look very white,, some look very dark.. But i believe mexican people are pretty biracial too, and in America it doesnt seem like we are considered by racial. Also, white people are biracial sometimes.

Anyways, If we know mexican people are all Mixed since colonial timess and probably White people too.. and even black people and asians. Why is it, we make a fuss about Clearly defined ( black & white OR black & asian or White & asian)bi racial children, when actually most people especially mexicans are so multi-racial. My parents are from mexico and although the end result( that's me) does't look white, actually my father is kind of white with red hair and mother is darker with black hair

Does his son believe this too? Maybe all the good Atheists Americans should move to Canada where they will be welcome?

My friend has recently denounced his Christian faith and is now a Wiccan. I'm curious about his new lifestyle, and he invited me to a thing that Wiccans do on the full moon. It's tomorrow. He won't tell me what it is, because he wants me to experience it without any biases . . . or something. Any Wiccans here? What happens on the full moon?

There has been from some not all Christians a question about the comparrison of slavery in the Old Testement with the institution of slavery in America before 1865. These some not all Christians are saying that the system of slavery set up in the Bible is different from the one that we had in America.

So a few questions, 1. Are they trying to defend "slavery". If the word in the English Bible shouldn't be slavery, maybe we need a 2006 version with a better word.
2. Is the historical context surronding homosexuality one that isn't the same in 2006? Were they talking at that time about the same issue as it is today?
3. If the slavery that they were talking about in that day is different from the one in a recent America, is it reasonable to assume that possibly the other words in the Bible might need to be viewed in their historical context?
Thanks for reading

"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."
