I've never met an athiest who loved people. They always seem to be misanthropes. Maybe athiests have never met Christians who love them. I don't know. But if you are athiest what do you have hope in?

And can you prove that God isn't real? Just as I cannot prove to you that He is. I just don't know if I could go through life hating people and God, and people who love God.

if a person doesn't believe in God as an actual person looking down and controlling stuff, but believes in the morals, and values taught through the stories and teachings of religion..is that person an athiest? like if a person is christian, and doesn't believe that adam and eve were real and that God created the earth in 7 days, but reads the Bible and goes to church for the sole purpose of tradition and the upholding of values and morals?

I have four books on or about Buddhism which I will be reading soon, and I'd like the opinion of the Buddhists here on them. The books are:

The Perfection of Wisdom (translated by R.C. Jamieson)
The Dhammapada (the Sacred Writings series)
The Path to Enlightenment (His Holiness the Dalai Lama)
Collected Statements, Interviews & Articles (His Holiness the Dalai Lama)

I know that there are different sects of Buddhism - will these books cover the basics?

If not, what would you recommend?

My husband told me that in general it isn't a good idea for men to have 24 wives because since Eve came from the rib of Adam, that men could be okay with up to 24 wives since there are 24 ribs. That always made sense to me. My grandpa says the Sages say he shouldn't have more than 4 but I was reading on this website that men could have as many wives as he could afford. Its always troubling to me when I hear conflicting ideas by religious leaders but I think my husband is right. I just want to see what others think.

To the Christian couple (and whoever got shirty about their perfect God). At least you spelt His name with a capital G. Thanks for that.
To the question itself. Are You Serious?
When the Israelites were in the desert and in fact throughout history, God's people have somehow found a way to multiply pretty successfully. Really from the heart, I would just enjoy the love that you have between you and the other bit isn't that important. You have a lifetime together to learn and share together. Maybe you could pray for those who don't have anyone and leave them to watch the porno.

In our office, we have a group of Latino/a housekeepers who come by in the evening. Since I'm usually in the office when they arrive, I know them by face, and I speak to them pretty often. I often attempt to speak to them in my limited Spanish, since I know that Spanish is likely their first language, but I'm wondering, would this actually be considered rude? I don't want them to think that I'm assuming they can't speak English. Should I continue speaking to them in Spanish, or should I switch to English?

i know it joins to gether rather meaninglessly in a tree and the giving of gifts ,and showing your presence before your relitives
and its high priest is santa/satan claws ,and does jesus know if i been good ier is the satan clause a jesus substitute.
why is it christ xmass when he wasnt eveb born on that day ,why the getting drunk thing ,x mass is deluding the masss away from the truth of christ by the giving of crusty scrappy presencse of a man hiding behind a faulse beard ,with enslaved deer pulling off his slay ,can we at least try to save the day by going to a mass for the love of christ the saviour
talk about jesus ,playsdown the santa ,god like slavedriver lifting the north pole,
crist was accorded this day as his birth day can we give to christ that which belongs to the good ,and truth that christ embodies as an innocent child ,give satanclaws back his rightfull day od the 6 th of december ,ie the 12 mounth ,ie two sixes ,
let xmass be for love and jesus and gifts forkids

just because they ask mary for help doesn't mean they don't pray to God, God can only answer prayers God is only worthy of praise... personally i barley ask a saint for help in pray all my prayers are directly to God don't buch us up into one category if a catholic wants to pray let them it doesn't conclude that they don't love God or get distracted from him all devotion to a saint leads one closer to God in my opinion..... anyways my question is why do you think we can't pray to God even though that is what most of are prayer and are only source of worship is ... the whole mass is a prayer/worship of God to us it is the highest form...thanks and God bless:)
