Origins of christian holidays.?

Who here is not actually aware that the dates of all major christian holidays to include christmas and easter are based on the dates of pagan sabats? Do any christians find it odd that they include a man known as the king of the elves into their christmas celebration?

Do you think you wouldn't have emotions without religion?

Because I hear people say that they think morals come from religion or the even bolder ones say directly from God. So you are saying without religion you'd be completely lacking in emotions like love, empathy and compassion?

Do you think this is right?

A man works hard all his life, supports his family,does good for all others he can help, but when he gets down(sick) and can't work any more. NO HELP FOR HIM. ALL around him are drug dealers, drunks, people that won't work that live off the taxes this man pays in.. They get all the medical care they want, free of charge, they keep their children sick, so they can use the kids to get drugs to sell, then the man who has ALWAYS worked hard can get NO medical care because he can not afford insurance.DO YOU THINK THIS IS RIGHT??? I NO THIS IS A STRANG QUESTION for religion&spirituality but I thought it would be the best place to ask. I really want yo no what you all think about this...

I have read many of the answers petaining to the Quran.?

1. Since the are countless debates on its interpretation of the Quran into foreign languages and

2. Since it has already been interpreted wrongly by Arabic Muslims into insane violence,

I gather that Islam is fragmanted, indivudualistic and in urgent need of a level minded leadership.

Looking at the Golden Years of islam under the Caliphs, don't you think its is time to appoint for Muslims to elect a new Caliph/world leader to streamline your doctrines and discipline those who ravaged your reputation through this insane era?

This is not a hate mail and I sincerely seek the honest opinion of Muslims.

Wouldn't God be...?

A nice God…?

All my life I’ve been hearing people saying that we are here to serve God, that God would be angry and send us to hell if we don’t follow his commands that are written in holy books, God will punish us for every little thing, we must fear God…and so on. I am so sick and tired of hearing this! God is supposed to be perfect, so that would mean God would not feel any anger or hatred. Also, God would not be selfish, so he wouldn’t just create humans to serve him, and if they failed at one little thing, he would make them burn in hell. The kind of God these people describe seems to be a very evil God, and I want to believe that God is a kind, good God, not what these religious people are saying! I just cannot accept that God is like they say.

By countering religious beliefs are atheists giving them credence?

Or is it more countering other's perverted thought processes? Personally, I don't think I'm giving any credence to the existence of a God by offering reasoning to why one cannot exist. Is it against atheism to acknowledge there are people in the world who do believe in a god? Is that what people are suggesting? That to ignore those people completely would be true atheism? I'm sorry, but that's just pulling the wool over your own eyes. You have to acknowledge others differences, and in doing so if you have an alternative opinion, you offer it. Do you believe this is true or do you really think atheists somehow are proving the existence of a god by understanding that people do believe in them?

Out of the will of God?

My husband has been treating me pretty bad for a while now. A lot of flirting, wanting to leave me when he gets angry with me, going out, being secretive, talking to other women on the phone etc. He has tried changing his career at least 3 times this year but has been unsuccessful. I've been supportive each time but I feel he takes it for graned and still does what he wants. My friends question why I am still with him. I do love him and I want things to get better so I pray for our marriage daily. Some days are harder than others. Do you think the way he is treating me is why he has not been successful in career changing?

Why do some people condemn Lust ?

In sexual education, sexology and medicine, they all agree that it all starts with lust. Yet Christians attack lust as if it were a disease. If you can't have lust, then you can't go any further. Simple. That's what it is to be human. Why do some avoid it like the plague and condemn those who enjoy sex without marriage?
