Just checking the modern etiquette!! The bride and groom were married in the summer and no thank you notes have been sent...we personally don't really care, but maybe some might, especially the grandparents who were far more generous than normal..any feedback?

For those who say that Atheists have no morals, how can you explain the fact that I haven't lied in over four years. Not the smallest white lie. It's not easy, but I believe that a lie is not respectful to others.

If any christian doesn't believe me, it just shows the that you guys are so far gone, that you cannot even BELIEVE that such a person like me exists.

Should I write a Thank You note for receiving a Christmas Bonus? If the Bonus is an item rather than "a check"? What is appropriate?

Could it be God was telling us how to handle theological disputes in Romans 15:1-3 ? Doesn't this back up the idea that rather than critisize others for their beliefs (or lack thereof), we should try to help them, and lifft them up?
Your interpretations, please.

It is unjust regardless of what the Bible says. I know when something is good or bad, and I don't need a book to tell me the difference.

A person just CANNOT be punished for the sins of someone else. If this happens, then there is no justice. The christian god is unjust. Never mind scripture. It is so.

For those who say that compared to god we are all sinful, I can only say, that god has no business to compare himself with me.

After so many religions in whom people are loosig faith and going for applied religion like Yoga and could some one start a new religion? The days of miracles are gone. People need peace and compassion, in a world with full of conflicts and war, hatred and terror.

There are so many paths that it is difficult to accept that all belong to one group called Hinduism. But at the end, all agree that there is only one God but they call it by different names and worship in different forms. Is it because it is an old religion and it has been evolving around the same eternal Truth that God is one but traditions differ.

Can a stone by called sinful for being a stone? If christians say that all humans are sinful, then is it sinful to be human? This cannot be.

I am proud to be a human, with all my characteristics. I refuse to call myself sinful, just by the virtue of existing. What is your opinion?

So, once again this annual debate flares up. People daren't put up Christmas decorations for fear of offending non-Christians. This in turn offends Christians..but actually, really would non-Christians object or is this just assumed by the hopeless, petty-minded PC Brigade - who are in effect creating ill will when they need not worry?
