I am aquainted with an extremely nice lady who says her church is charismatic. I'm not looking for a church to belong to and I've never felt any need to belong. She is NOT recruiting but I feel a connection with her.(NOT NECESSARILY HER CHURCH)
What does it mean that a church is "charismatic"?

Many people would look onto this as a prove of God's love towards humanity, for he let his own son down to redeem humanity. Is this fair? To put things simply I would say that if I break a plate but you pay for it, I am certain next time I shall break another plate. Can you guy not see this?

I mean, god could forgive our sins with a snap of his fingers.

Even if he sends his son down, why does he have to die to save our souls? It is a test run? Does god need a practice try of saving a soul? How does Jesus dying forgive our sins that god could not do before?

Is the catholic faith that illogical?

How much of a social life should you have? Should you be sad because your friends have "scattered"? Is it realy time to stop blaming your parents for the way you are, even if it really is their fault? It seems that every other decade of your life is well defined, but where do you fit in once you reach your 30's? Do you have to trade in "Jane" magazine, for "Fitness" or "Home and Gardening". And furthermore, what if you have yet to reach your goals? Or worse even, what if you have yet to decide what your goals are? What do you think?

I happen to be Atheist so the holiday holds no spiritual significance to me, but that's not even the real reason I want to stop celebrating Christmas. I think it teaches people wrong things. I teaches them to be materialistic and greedy, it turns gift giving (supposed to be a from the heart act of kindness) into an obligation, and on the flip side, receiving them an expectation or entitlement just because.
Needless to say these are not values I want my son to be initiated into.

I always remember growing up how my peers would always ask me what I got for Christmas, and we would start listing off our inventory.

Do you think my son will feel like an outcast when this day comes and all he can say is we don't really celebrate Christmas?

Do you have any suggestions on how we can still celebrate Christmas without teaching him bad ideas?

Don't get me wrong, I love the season... snowmen, sleigh rides, santa claus, etc... just not the shopping malls. :/

I think somewhere in the bible it states that "the light will shine through and make aware that which are lies"...and "use wisdom" only if some pathetic christians would use that wisdom?
christianity only survive because of fear, it teaches to fear, fear god, or go to hell! like come on, i won't serve anything that convinces itself it is better than me. and if it don't even exist, its like me pretending to be a slave for my imaginary friend! lol grown ups shouldn't be allowed to have imaginary friends! its psychological, they really miss their childhood and compensates for that by believing in some mytical creature, poor poor people, i'll pray for you, in my name.

It seems with every scientific advance, most notably in the field of quantum physics, more questions are raised than are answered. Do you agree with the statement that science has done more to support the existence of God than to discredit it?

I know they exist and that they are God's messengers but i don't know anyone that has ever had an angel appear to them or that kind of thing.

I stayed with his family for Thanksgiving, and had prepared a thank-you gift to give to his mother. I'm leaving tomorrow at 9am with my boyfriend to go back to college. Should I give it to her tonight (it's already 11:15pm) or tomorrow? She's still awake.
