Do you have a Christmas Tradition? What is it?
When we were younger, my sister and I would sleep in the same room, then on Christmas morning, we would always wake up at the crack of dawn because we were usually too excited to sleep. My mom, instead of wrapping each of our presents, would set out our presents like a display window with a big piece of cardboard with our names written on it in the middle of our stack so we would know which one was ours. My favorite present I ever got was a barbie dream house. =) Though, when I have kids, I plan on only giving them three presents each as Jesus got when he was a baby which is why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. Thanks for sharing your memory!

Just give me your thoughts on this action that I am planning on taking. I am a former marine. I am 23 years old white male. I am 6'2" 220 lbs. I am severely pissed at every single muslim on the face of the earth since 911. I am planning on going out tommorow and as soon as I see a muslim, and I don't care if its a man, woman, child, or old person, I am going to punch them so hard in the face that they swallow their teeth. What are your thoughts on this. Oh, and I won't go to jail because I know almost every single cop in this area and I was in the marines with the lead detectives son.

that says Jesus was descended from King David through his FATHER JOSEPH. A complete contradiction.

Nowhere is the Virgin Birth dealt with in the rest of the bible in fact in Acts it is clearly said that Jesus is of the SEED of David. By saying SEED it is obvious they mean he is of royal blood on the male line.

Is it possible that the Virgin Birth meant something other than physical Virginity?

He said himself that he is God's son and that the father is greater than he is. He also said that no one has seen the father at any time. He said that he was a mediator between God and man. He said that he didn't know things that only his father knew. He said many more things that teach us that they are two separate life forms. This contradicts the definition of The Holy Tinity by the catholic church, after all they are the ones that invented this term and its definition and doctrine. It is never mentioned in the bible.

A social work master’s student at Southern Connecticut State University, says his study has suggested what many progressives have probably suspected for years: a direct link between mental illness and support for President Bush.

Mr. Lohse says his study found a correlation between the severity of a person’s psychosis and their preferences for president: The more psychotic the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Bush.

Yes I know, "a correlation" is not a proof and the correlation between Mr. Bush and Fundamentalist Evangelicals does not cast doubt on the mental status of either.
Or does it?

When atheists such as myself ask for proof, believers - Christian, Muslim, whatever - always cite some rubbish from their holy books as proof. When will they realise that this self-referencing proof just doesn't cut it? Is it because they think we are as gullible as they are?

It's so nice to hear of what other people give of themselves this time of year (and all year actually). Maybe someone who wants to give something back to society will read your answer and be be inspired to give to your charity.


I pick a child's name from the "gift tree", invite people who are alone to share our holiday meal, volunteer at our local shelter and give cash to the Salvation Army and others. I ALWAYS have the feeling that it just isn't enough, so I hope to find other ways to give through your answers.

PLEASE, only serious answers from the truly honest & amazing people on Answers who really care. This really isn't a subject to make fun of. Thanks for understanding.

" Magic Door " ??

What did the words to the opening song mean ?
Forgive my spelling but it sounded something like this - ' a room zoom zoom, a room zoom zoom, gilly gilly gilly asenfree', come through the magic door with me, and see all the wondrous things to see'.

There are widespread and ancient belief that after death the soul leaves the body in the form of a bird, and the bird consequently is a symbol of the spirit, and mediators between God and men, and many religions have heavenly beings or spirits with wing: Angels, Cherubs, and Seraphim for example......if your soul came back in the form of a bird which bird would you like to be?.........

Questions........
1. How can there be so many people out there who don't know how to approach the opposite sex?
2. How many folks are cheated on but have to ask if they should stay in the relationship?
3. How many folks want other folks on here to predict their future, help them decide to marry, or solve simple issues if they would just THINK about it?
4. How many people really know what a question is? I mean a real honest to goodness question. One that actually asks something....
5. Why do people get joy out of stirring up other folks by asking racial, religious, or stupid sexual questions or better yet just the comments that they think are a question because they put a ? after the words

You can answer in order.....
