notice how everyone who stated that they let their children enjoy their childhood get so many thumbs down.

is that what christianity teaches? not to let your child have an imagination or any kind of childhood? force them to behave like adults when they are children? why are so many so against letting children be children?


just an fyi, do you know how much more psychological harm you do by not letting your children be children?

How can a man spend so much time sitting around doing nothing and sometimes catching nothing, only to claim he had a good time and is looking forward to going back to do the same again?
Then why waste your time claiming that fishing at sea is so heavenly?

will they be abolished or dumped in the ocean? Once Oprah, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson are gone, racism in America will die out. Until then these 3 figure heads are the main contributors to racism in the United States. It is a fact and the sooner they are gone, the sooner Whites and Blacks will get along.

Why do so many people believe that their way is the only way? From Evangelicals telling me I'm going to Hell if I don't believe in their God or tithe their church, to the Drug Warrior morons (like this incomprehensible fool who dares call himself intelligent: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhKzjFVX5lHpI1kKe44kCMwjzKIX?qid=20060920014822AA5oz9U) who insist that a chemically pure lifestyle is so preferable that deviators get sent to our living hell, prison.
Take this analogy. People who use drugs are people who can see color, whereas abstainers are as the blind. Those with "sight"(drug experience) can only describe "colors" (drugs) to the "blind" (abstainers). In todays world, the blind are in power and have made it a crime to see colors.
This is exactly how the Drug War works.
America is a REPUBLIC to prevent the "tyranny of the majority", but the War on Drugs is a tyranny of the (small) majority.
So why do so many people think that if drugs were legal, society would..

I don't want this coming from a certain religion standpoint, but just either scientific truths, or facts from where or whenever. I just want to know, is it possible that Zeus and Ares and all of them could have existed?

We decided not to do Santa with our kids and have never been sorry for it. But it is surprising to us that so many other Christian families practice the Santa myth. I'm totally confused why people would lie to their kids about it.

Evil appears to have been 'explained away and relegated' under the terms of such things as Mental Illness, Terrorism, Drugs, Bad childhood/ upbringing, Politics, etc, etc.

Do you agree and what does this say about us? Have people stopped believing in Evil per se?

I've been told catholics pray the rosary to go to heaven. is this true? Do you believe your sarifice and good works get you to heaven? Think about this, you are God you told people how to act and they disobey not only that they curse you not only that they try to prove you wrong. They laugh at you, but you forgive them and give your ONLY son as a SACRIFICE for all the wrong these people have done. When you face the Lord do you believe your sacrifice matches God's? No amount of prayer will get you to heaven. Ephesians 2 8:9 It is by GRACE of God you are saved, THROUGH FAITH. Not by your good deeds so that no man may boast.

What is your answer catholics?
