Earlie today I posted a question, or rather an idea - can someone without a sin be tempted. Almost all answers were the same - Jesus struggled with temptetion but did not give in. I agree 100%. It makes him exactly like other sinful people who resist temptations. If I was born without sin, without any desire for power, money etc - you would not be able to tempt me with neither money, nor power, I would not even have a struggle with it - no sin, no needs, no temptations.

I always put gold chocolate coins in the toe . . . also consumable items like lotions, body wash, toothpaste, knick knacks that commemorate something from the previous year and a book.

We can assume that if you were born in the middle east you would have a 99% chance of being muslim or jewish.- and in turn you would have your flesh burned off for eternity. Is weird how an all loving god is so much easier on people depending on where in the world they were concieved. Do you christians believe that you deserve heaven more, or do you think that middle easterners are just really really unlucky?

Compelled to constantly hide him from the murderous King Herod, the parents of Jesus could not allow their son to go out, and he, no doubt, spent all his time in studying the sacred Scriptures, so that his knowledge was sufficiently beyond what would naturally have been expected of a boy of his age. He had in his thirteenth year attained an age when, according to Jewish law, the boy becomes an adult, has the right to marry, and incurs obligations for the discharge of the religious duties of a man.
There exists still, in our times, among the Israelites, an ancient religious custom that fixes the majority of a youth at the accomplished thirteenth year. From this epoch the youth becomes a member of the congregation and enjoys all the rights of an adult. Hence, his marriage at this age is regarded as having legal force, and is even required in the tropical countries. In Europe, however, owing to the influence of local laws and to nature, which does not contribute here so powerfully as in warm climates to the physical development, this custom is no more in force and has lost all its former importance.
The royal lineage of Jesus, his rare intelligence and his learning, caused him to be looked upon as an excellent match, and the wealthiest and most respected Hebrews would fain have had him for a son-in-law, just as even nowadays the Israelites are very desirous of the honor of marrying their daughters to the sons of Rabbis or scholars.

What i don't understand is why are some people on here asking questions about God and Christmas if they can't handle the answers. If you don't want to know what other people think then maybe they should just leave it alone. Then when people do answer they get thumbs down and why is that. Is it becasue that can't handle the answers that are givin? Well if so then maybe they shouldn't read them. I hope that i can get honest answers and what people really think.

Over and over again, I see questions from people who have obvious and cliched hatred towards certain coutries or groups of people, ie immigrants, iraq, muslims, christians, etc etc. Do people feel this way because they are 'brainwashed' by the media/politics etc? Or, if you look deep inside yourself, can you really bring yourself to hate another human being you don't even know, just because they have a different way of life? Personally, I think there is a much bigger agenda which manipulates people into a certain way of thinking, and that if they looked deep inside themselves, maybe they would see things differently. What do you think?

Do you ever think, even for a fraction of a second, that you might be wrong?

In my opinion: religon requires belivers to suspend reason and logic and therefor when faced with an opposing view neither reason nor logic is used. People, when the subject of "'''god"''' is brought up, are simpily so brainwashed that no evaluation of the other point of view enters their minds. The get defensive and resort to insults and irational rants...

Your thoughts on this please.

my friend recently asked me if i thought she was racist, and i couldnt decide. heres the story, tell me what you think.

according to my friend, everytime she sees an african american person, she is NOT MEAN but EXTREMELY NICE and overwhelmingly friendly to them. if she bumps into a white person, shell just be like, sorry. but if she bumps into a black person, she makes a big deal with, OH EXCUSE ME, IM TERRIBLY SORRY, DIDNT SEE YOU THERE!!! :)

she told me that she feels almost like she has to overcompensate for african americans, bc she feels like if she doesnt exaggerate her friendliness, they will think she hates black people.. or smthng like that


so does that consider her a racist?
