It has to do with religion in case you didn't know this already.

I know the politically-correct crowd doesn't want us to solely say 'Happy Hanukkah' - they want us all to make sure we include everyone, especially Christians - but what's the big deal if we just restrict ourselves to 'Happy Hanukkah'? Why try to include everyone with 'Seasons Greetings'?

If I was about 7 years old would I get in trouble for saying, "bloody"? Like, "I shot his bloody head off."
Is "bloody" the same as a swear word or not?
Just wondering. Thanks.

I myself am agnostic not atheist. I do believe there is a higher power as for God or Allah or Buddah thats your decision to believe that it is a person or being. Anyways everytime someone religious comes around me they always try to tell me that Catholism or Bapist or Protesetant or even Buddahism is the correct way to believe and that everything is all better when you do. Honestly I just want to know why this is that almost every religion turns into a bible thumper even when they say that they arent pushing it. I help anyone out that I can regardless of race, religion, creed, nationality, or sexual orientation. I mean come on why is that everyone deems it neccesary to make a person feel they are worthless unless they belong to one organized religion?

I have found out that everybody has a well of knowledge within ourselves. How can I tap that WELL of knowledge from GOD within, since we are from GOD. Please think out this question with detail. I'm NOT looking for a quick off-the-cuff answer. This is a HEAVY seasoned question to ask..

1. Knowing something is going to happen before it does and using this knowlegde to help someone. (ie: dreaming that you know a tree is going to fall and hit someone and saving that person in your dream)
2. Running, searching, fighting

First, please understand that I am asking this only because I would like to know, not because I want to offend somebody. Ok, now let me ask...
I know that Muslim people should pray five times a day at particular time. Do they really practice that in everyday's life? I mean, because of all the obligations we all have? Do they pray at school or work (if they live in a non-Muslim country)? What if they are on the street at the particular time? And what is going on in Muslim countries? I have seen photos of Muslim people praying in the street while everything stops - traffic, all the people... They are all on their knees and they all pray. On the other hand, I have been to some Muslim countries and I have never actually seen this. How come?
Please, keep in mind that I asked this question out of curiosity, nothing else.

Here and now i see many people judging one another, Christains, Wiccans, Muslims, and then they get crap about doing it. So what the people arguing are saying Christains and all that can't be HUMAN! Human Beings judge one another, it's normal. If you agree please answer, if not, go ahead and give me a thumbs down and cuss me out :)

If it was the Romans, then he didn't die for us at all, he was already going to be put to death. So it was like, "I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well say it is for all humanity for the prestige".

If he gathered a bunch of people than said I'm going to die for you, then maybe I'd be impressed.

Thoughts?

(Oh, and please do not use the God "allowed" him to die excuse).

It seems like I know a million people that are half Jewish/ half something else. Pretty much 100 percent of the time, their mothers are always Christian or something else and their fathers are Jewish. It's never the other way around. Are Jewish women generally considered less attractive than their blonde haired, blue eyed gentile competition? Do Jewish men simply want hot women and know they can get them bc many of them are successful and non-Jewish women are willing marry them for their money? I get that impression often. What do you think?

I came on my job as a temp.. My boss hired me at the end of my 90 day probation period and I became full-time. This was a auto-mechanic shop. Things were nice there. My boss would defend me if things got "hairy" , at least that was what I thought he was doing. Other newbies came aboard and served their probation and got hired also. My job description was helper/janitor. I asked him repeatedly did he want to move me to another position. He said " No, buddy, your fine, I got your back". So one day I got a causual call on the intercom to report to the boss's office. I reported to the office to have my "head blown off with a shotgun". My boss told me they terminated my position and they would have to lay me off. He said it rather causually and we shook hands and parted ways. Yet, those newbies, I told you about earlier, are still there. I had senoirity over those guys but yet he got rid of me first. I had two evaluations while working there and recieved outstanding reports. What happen

Now we are approaching Christmas I'd like to become a Christian. However, there are two questions I need to resolve before I can do this.

Firstly, if God created the Universe and everything within it, where did he live before he created everything.

Secondly, who created God? Did he create himself?

Please, can some believer answer these questions so that I can become a believer myself.
