You see I wasnt mad or annything I was just trying to help you get to a better place thats all. You see me and my religion respects your belive but your religion isnt doing much of a job to help you. And thats why you should join my religion, Christian is about peace and I dont think your religion have that. And even if there is a love and peace in your religion, it came from christian like me.Because christianity is the true first religion of love and peace. And by beliving other religions makes you do wrong things and it lead you to hell and me and my lord doesnt want that to happend to you. So please go to the nearest church and learn more about christianity. And God Bless you.

Consider this a straw poll, I have no agenda & my opinion does not matter. To be up front, I am an Atheist Conservative. I have already started getting email from groups citing stores that will not be using the word Christmas in their advertising. These companies usually substitute the term "holiday season". Please answer this without bashing Christian's, Atheists or other groups that do not agree with you.
1. Does this hijack tradition?
2. Will you continue to shop at merchants that alter their advertising?
3. Do you believe that this will become a media non-story, again?
4. Does the word Christmas embrace a traditional celebration or does it only mean Jesus & God?
5. Do you believe that many of the merchants are overly sensitive to a small minority in the country?

What do you think of George Harrison and his spiritual music. You ever heard of Kula Shaker?..theyre good too. Hindu stuff is cool. Doesn't the brahman seem like a bettter definition to the holy spirit

There are so many instances when wealth is portrayed as very negative for us, but then there is the example of Prophet Sulaiman.

So if a muslim wants to be wealthy, does that make him a hypocrite?

I know what's said about how you get wealth, and how you spend it etc., but is it safer for a Muslim to just say no, I don't want it anyway, because it may be so bad for me? Does taking the chance make a muslim a hypocrite?

Having moved to Ireland 5 months ago, it never fails to amaze me how awful the people over here are at crossing the road! I'm not the only person that has moved here and noticed it either!
You can be driving along and they just walk out in front of you, even if they are just a few yards away from a pedestrian crossing!!!

My thoughts ...

Religious believers attack the messenger rather than the message. Checkout Yahoo Answers to prove the point. They resort to vulgar perverted sickening replies, but then I understand they suffer from mental illness and lack of intelligence, and so, perhaps their behaviour, although irrational, has a rational explanation.

Science suggests religion is a mental illness and religious people act irrationally because they are genetically predisposed to the “religious or spiritual” gene and the “warrior” gene, hence their association with violence.

When people are subjected to the brain-washing effects of excess religion it also affects their mind and body. Religion has a history of evil, insanity, murder and hatred. We all read about holy wars and the killing of innocent life as a result of excess religion called Blind Faith.

My private research studies indicate that religious people tend to be below average intelligence

Would appreciate your thoughts please.

This is a response to a question I asked yesterday it makes clear that extremist Christians want us all to be like them and wish to impose their values on us

I dont' know about you getting off the computer, but tollerance of a sinful lifestyle is the same as acceptance and support of that, and a Christian can not be tolerant of that if they are a Christian.

If A person who calles themself a Christian and is tolerant of a sinful lifestyle, it is no different for them if they choose that lifestyle for themselves just because they are in support of it. Afraid to hurt their feelings if they show intolerance of it.

God says this..

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

You are not a Christian if you are tolerant of sin.

I was at a bowling alley and asked an attendent which ball would be best. He said "females usually like this type of ball." He said female in the course of his explanation a couple more times before I just looked at him and said "We're called women" (the other attendent, a woman, laughed) He offered the excuse "We'll I never know if I should say girls or women, or if it will offend anyone." "Can't you tell ages?" So let's help him out, whose offended when called either of these terms and why?

Sorry, I just thought it was quite ridiculous how sometimes there's totally pointless questions like this! I know it's out of politeness, but I think the person could quickly follow up with, "Can I help you?" or something like that at least! And sometimes, which is equally as ridiculous, the person being asked the question replies, "I'm fine." when they're in tears... what's with that? Can't we just honestly open up and say what's wrong?

These "authorities" tell you to believe something is true because it was written in some book that they consider to be proof. Then, when you ask for better proof, they refer you to their books. They just want you to believe what they are saying because they have a book that supports their thoughts, and the more you buy into it, the more money they get. And you can't recreate anything from their books. They also ask you to believe them because they say so, and the rest of them say so too. Don't you see, they are controlling your mind and making you believe what they want you to believe! They have no tangible proof to the average person that what they claim would actually be true, and you can't just see it happening unless you learn to think like them, so they want you to believe what they claim to have done. They just want to control your mind, and get you to step in line with them. Welcome to the reality that you are being manipulated by "science" .

God will not be directly judging. All judgement has been handed to The Christ, Jesus.
God does not know what you are going to do, untill you do it.
The only problem is, is that God knows conciously before we do that we are going to do something.
Remember, before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, there was no evil, and no sin.
And even evil is over rated, because the knowlege is the key, and difference between evil, and good.
We only know good and evil because we are taught, and some is given to common sense.
But I degress,
We have what is called free will.
We choose our path, and when we consciously accept and act on that choice, our subconsciouse knew, therefore God knew.

Granted, all things exist because God allows it .
We choose how, or what we will do in this life.
We will answer for this.
I have lived as a truckdriver, a homeless man, a retired man, an ex felon, ex husband, exalcoholic, now dying of emphesema, and lord knows what else.
The very things that are killing me, also have their uses and even life saving uses as well.
Depend how we use them.
But it all is by my choosing.
God knew I was going to make mistakes in my life.
Because of these mistakes, the knowledge from that tree of knowledge of good and evil causes my body to die.
But There was another tree in that garden.
The tree of life.
And God said " Let us remove man from the garden, lest he eats of the tree of life, and lives forever."
God gave us his only begotten son, through the holy spirit".
( Just like Adam, except this time, The spirit came by flesh, instead of just a breath.)
Jesus the Christ.
Because of this, I am shown that even though there was a tree, and a law because of that tree,
Now I have permission to eat of the tree, thet was denied Adam, so many years ago.
Want to join me in lunch?
