Which do you think makes more sense: morals evolving in social animals to further shared genes, or some distant entity that exists in another dimension who told us about morals that just happen to make biological sense?

This is a freedom for religion Country, but I have heard some worrisome thoughts on electing a person of This religion... WHY?

I am not Muslim, I do not follow any specific religion in tone or creed as far as rules of being who the "higher pwer" wants us to be to an exact code. But I do believe....

So if the differences, that are apparent, were to influence a nation, what effects could there be? In your opinion?

South Park?

they say a guy from another universe, zenu, burned aliens in a volcano and now thier spirits are responsible for all of mankind's problems.

no wonder tom cruise has been behaving so strangely. it takes a certain kind of person to believe all that.

i thought that when christians explain christianity to non-believers that they had a hard row to hoe. can you imagine trying to get someone to join your religion when you have to tell them about an overlord from another galaxy freezing aliens and bringing them to earth and their spirits haunting and possessing cave-men millions of years ago.

and what's with those paddle things they make you hold while you talk about your feelings?

thanks :)

Technically, following the conventions of grammar, shouldn't the plural of the word "crucifix" be "crucifices"? You know, like matrix->matrices or index->indices?

Just curious, I never really thought about it before.

i'm catholic. so obviously i go to a catholic church. but apparently i've been numb to what's going on...for the past 15 years =) church is boring! the priests...make it seem like a funeral. everything's so serious. and when we say the creed, or prayers, pretty much everyone there just says the words off a piece of paper, but it really means nothing to them. it's just so dreary....and the songs are slow....and the priests walk down the aisle like they're sleepwalking.

and i know..."it's a church. we havta show respect". well in order to have respect, it doesn't mean you have to make it boring. i mean jeez. not all of us are 85 with no energy. any thoughts?

The winter solstice is on the 21st of december,and the sun comes back to normal on the 25th of december. This was celebrated bu many people around europe and asia, when they figured out this pattern, whith several traditions and rituals, and observed as a holiday. When the christians were converting the pagans, the made the pagan holidays as christian as could be, thus making the 25th a celebration of christs birth, and easter, originaly a celebration of the fretility god , to the ressurection of christ. Does anyone have more information on some of the traditions and celebrations concerning the winter solstice?

As a kid my mom used to leave cookies for santa, gum drop cookies for the reindeer, and cheese for santa mouse. I talked to my partner about doing that this year for the kids and they had never heard of it. Was I the only lucky child to participate?

My band is having a "secret santa" thing where you draw another person's name out of a hat, and we have to give them a present tomorrow. I know who the person I drew is, but I've never talked to him before, so I don't know what he likes. Suggestions? (Rules say $1-3 range).
