Parents and family members save up to what might take a years worth of work just to provide gift's for their children and younger relatives.

Now what I do not understand is why do they claim that these gift's were brought to them by "Santa Clause" ? He does not even exists (And yes, I do know he is baised on a Saint)

Why give children the impression that someone else gave them these gift's and see them caring and loving and imaginary thing, instead of just giving them the gifts directly and receiving the thanks for the hard work "YOU" NOT Santa put to get them the gifts?

Do you think that this practice is not fair for parents that struggle to get the gifts just so that their children won't be disappointed that "Santa" didn't give them a gift? And is it fair that at the end of the day children belive that this was Santa's doing and not their own loving parents?

And please only serious answers. Thank you.

If God was male, why did he put bloke's knackers on the OUTside (I know that biologically speaking, it's to do with temperature). If God was male, surely they'd be nice and safe somewhere internally???

Fundamental design flaw??

After learning that the Aztecs and Mayans had detailed creation stories, I decided to collect these and figure out which one is best.

I'm a little tired of the Genesis story, since animals and the earth get disrespected and exploited and women are put down as troublemakers. I figure we need some new ones, really good stories that are, well, CREATIVE.

Go ahead, think outside the box! Your story should:

1) Explain how the Earth got here.

2) Figure out how water, rocks, animals, and people came to be.

3) Give us a reason to 'be' and hope for the future.

Feel free to 'plug in' to evolution or science at any point, it doesn't have to be a DUMB creation story!

Best one gets the 10 points!

i take at that all of you believe that all modern people (whether they be white, black, asian, etc) all descended from adam and eve, right? so how exactly did they become all of the different races?

do you believe that they micro-evolved? if so, then do you really think that much variation is possible in only 6,000 years?

or do you believe that god just transformed them suddenly after the fall of the tower of babel? if so, then does this mean that a middle-eastern parent would all of a sudden have an eskimo or east indian baby? or would the transformation have taken a few generations?

or do you believe that certain races did NOT descend from adam and eve? if so, then that's a pretty bold assertion.

or do you believe that the bible is metaphorical, in that adam and eve weren't real?, or that maybe they lived over 100,000 years ago, which would more plausibly allow for such variation?

please check my additional notes after responding if you'd like a back and forth debate.

Muslims that 'assume' we are lacking in modesty and self-respect just because we don't cover our bodies from head to toe. I wear decent respectable clothing, and it's really stupid to assume those of us who do so and live in the evil, evil "West" are whores and tramps based on our attire. This judgement is often passed because we wear simple jeans, capris, or short sleeves! WTF. I live in Texas and it's HOT. What am I supposed to do? Wear a burka? Then, if you offend the Muslims, your questions get removed or they get pissy and send you nasty grams to your inbox.

You all want respect? GIVE IT. I am trying to understand Islam, but when they have such a fine track record (as a total religion) of female treatment, I really think they need to at ease with mocking other females who don't beleive as they do. Oh, but the moment a post questions hijab or calls it curtains, it's blasphemy and it's the Y!A Muslim UN to the rescue.

Please.

That is to say, God used to get credit for all sorts of things that have been explained through the years by scientific and logical thinking. Will there come a point when so much has been discovered that the concept of God will have to be updated or vanish? ...something like how we look at Greek mythology now?

they claim that it is a "dirty" animal. but this is very untrue. pigs are actually very clean animals: they love bathing in water and the only reason why farmed pigs are smelly is because farmers used to keep them in appauling conditions to save money.

not only is pork tasty. but nutritious aswell. pigs are also usefull in medicine eg heart transplants because their organs are similar to that of humans.

lol i just dont get why muslims hate them so much. i know a few who refuse to say the word 'pig'.
if allah hates pigs and infidels so much then what the hell was the point in creating them.

I read an article about the ability to detect a gene that turns babies into homos. so with this knowledege, once a baby is born and this gene is detected, Should be Neuter or Spay the homo boy or girl? I think that we would be doing this Homo a big favor of not passing on the Homo gene, what do you think?

There's absolutely nothing in this Universe that can be directly attributed to having God's involvment in its existence. He'll NEVER give a single piece of evidence that says He does exist, and neither will anything come into reality that says He doesn't.

The Bible can't be used as proof of His existence, and neither can evolution and other such natural processes be used as proof of His nonexistence.

And why do so many people think that the discovery of intelligent alien life will suddenly disprove God?
