I just deleted my last question because the answers show no one understood my question.

We all know about your beliefs in salvation. Other than that fact...what are some of the things you like about being a fundamentalist CHristian. Such as the people showed a difference in their life, you found answers, etc. BESIDES salvation and eternal security, what do you see as the positives about being a fundamentalist Christian????

i was just watching documentary on turkey and how they banned hijab in all public places(i.e university,hospitals libary).and this Turkish woman said that the reason they can't let any woman wear hijab in university.is because they are afraid other people will be influenced and that someday women might be forced to wear it

but doesn't that give the ok to let saudi arabia to use the same arguement for not letting women come to university without the veil.and they could say if we let the women come unveiled it might influcene other people and some day the women will be force to take it off.

so shouldn't the country just allow the woman a choice to wear or not.
for example in the united arab emirates there are muslim women who wear the veil to university and some who don't.but neither are forced to do the other.so why can't they just give the woman a choice?

We live in age of overload, an excess of all kinds of information that serves many purposes, some good, some not so good and most self serving at best.

Knowing this, do you feel the current Age of Media offers little of actual substance?

This is a serious question. I'm an atheist. I've never been able to comprehend why people believe in God or any particular religion.

To me, all religions seem to be invented by man to serve two basic functions. To establish rules and morals, and to serve man's basic need to believe that death is not final.

How can you believe a bunch of stories, written thousands of years ago, interpretted and re-interpretted many times, with such unlikely things happening? Do you really believe that God spoke to Moses via a burning bush and that Moses parted the Red Sea? If there truly was a worldwide flood, where did all the extra water come from, and go to? Why was Christ declared divine only hundreds of years after his death? Seems to me if he truly was resurrected, that would have been pretty obvious from day one.

I've observed people are either raised religious or find religion during some personal crisis. No one finds it when everythings A-OK.

Last year my son bought me a goat - for a family in Romania. I think it was special as it made Christmas mean far more than opening something I didn't really want. What presents have made you feel good?

I am getting sick of seeing "Christians shouldn't celebrate Christmas because it has pagan roots to Winter Solstice" or stuff like that. So freaking what! Winter Solstice is still on the calander, why not celebrate your holiday then? I am tired of being told I can't have my holiday! You have Winter Solstice, Christians have Christmas, Jews have Hannakah (which, I'm sure was changed dates after the modern calander was made), Muslims have Ramadan, and African-Americans have Kwanza. No one has the right to say any of us can't celebrate our december holiday! Stop picking on Christians and just celebrate your Yule/Winter Solstice/Saturnia/whatever on your day. How about that?

Why do people make such a big deal out of the nativity story. It is controversial. If people who don't want to see it then they don't have to pay the money and are not being forced to see it? It is like anything Christian is a controversy. Yet we promote films with gays, violence, and nudity saying it is ok in our society. I don't understand it. It is like the worlds views are backwards. It is like if you don't want to see the movie then don't pay to go see it. People are like we don't want to offend anyone? Am I the only one who feels like this?
