Should we simply abandon organized religion and just keep God in our own way. It seems sad to say this, but nothing I see today coming out of Churches, Mosques or Synagogues seems positive, just negative. Christians hating on Gays, Jews, and Muslims. Muslims hating on Americans, Canadians and Western nations. Jews Hating on Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. It's all Hate all the time.

It must come to an end and sadly it appears it will be with violence not love......from any of them.

What are your thoughts and how would you deal with this sad state of affairs.

sometimes it is hard to make friends with other christians because most of them critisize and use God's name in vain and judge other people as well as expect you to lead a unsinful life. We dont have to live in convents and study the bible 24/7. I enjoy life. Seems like i cant be a christian and enjoy life at the same time because as soon as i make a mistake someone throws my religion in my face and calls me a hypocrite. Are Christians human to? Are we supposed to be perfect?

Why do people wait until Christmas time to be generous and feed the hungry and the poor? Why not do things like that all throughout the year? If I were needy, I would much rather have someone feed me in the middle of June because they want to than during December because they feel they have to because it's holiday season.

Genesis 6:2
the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

notice the distinction between "sons of God" and the "daughters of men". this is clear distinction to seperate angels from humans.

angels did come to earth and have intercourse (or mate with) the humans here, it produced a race called nephilim, which were giant in size to humans. (ex: david and goliath, goliath was a nephilim)

Genesis 6:4
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

The truth is being hidden from the people. I would like to ponder the greater questions but I cannot stop the thoughts that tell me our entire existence is a farce. Oil is no longer needed, they can easily make an alternative vehicle. Medicines are derived from natural materials yet those materials are kept from us. I am ready for war. I do not want anarchy I want truth. How can wewake the people from their slumbers? How can we take back control from the liars who keep us ignorant?

I found these little slips where you can send a person's name and address and they'll send them a personalized letter from Santa. I thought it would be kind of cute to send my friends letters, even though we don't belive in Santa. Is this a good idea? Also, you can choose between a childrens letter or an adult letter. We're 14 - which should I send them?

2006-11-29 08:38:56 · 10 answers · asked by Anonymous in Christmas

I would.

But would you? Please be honest.

2006-11-29 08:34:17 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous in Mythology & Folklore

i see so many say they are both the same being. now if they WERE both the same being then God is a skitso, throughout the bible (where jesus' story is mention) he is praying [to himself] and crying [to himself]. jesus cried on the cross:
Mark 15:34
"my God my God why have you forsaken me".

if Jesus is not god then christians are committing idolatry.

so then is god skitso/split person identity? talking to his other self?

For example why will I not plan a holiday for next year, is it because I do not have to or is because I am waiting and wanting to meet someone for to go along with their plans or plan with them. Also why do I eventually always challange control freaks, am I one? Why do I tolerate bull **** for so long and then brutely blow it out of the water and take no prisoners. What your analysis of this?

Many of my friends have homecells, always go to church, always read the bible and it ReAlLy seems like theyre strong believers, but on weekends they party too much and drink too much and make out with the nearest person, but the next day theyre in the church telling others how to live. Why do they do this and how can I stop it?
