I mean materialism corrupts us and our souls,the more we have of material things the more we want and greedy we become.
Why not give spiritual things as holy bibles,audio bibles voice/or dramatized with background sounds,donate to charities in name of a person,sponsoing a third world child in the name of a person/s.

For example I'm sending a gift and on the card I always list my first name, then the oldest child to the youngest child, then my husbands first name.
Jill, Cameron, Jordan, Jaxson and Jamie
There is no last name on the card because the receipient knows us personally. My husband says that the order should be my first name, his first name then the children.
Jill, Jamie, Cameron, Jordan and Jaxson
Who is right?

This is actually a serious question. I used to work with a girl who admitted to doing it often, but I think that probably isn't the norm.

Why? Is it that hard to believe? Or do you think is it just unreasonable to live up to those standards in todays world? Let me know.

It seems ok to have an interracial love scene with black woman/white man (monster's ball) but not the other way round. Is it because the female white stars will not do it or because white people in the south would boycott the movie?

Hypocritical christians isn't the only reason I became an athiest. To me, God seems like a fairytale that parents tell their children to comfort them when they have a nightmare. God is just an idea made up to bring people comfort. People need God to feet that they are important in some way. They need God so that they feel like there life actually has meaning to it, because a life without meaning isn't really worth living. When you think about it, compared to the size of the whole universe, human existence doesn't really matter. With how big the universe is, it doesn't matter if humans existed or not, it wouldn't make a difference. It doesn't matter how important a person is on the Earth that we live on. So, somebody came up with the idea of God to trick themselves into thinking that there life really does have meaning, even though the existence of the whole human race is pointless. God is just a lie designed to give humans a false sense of comfort.

Their contempt, hatred, perceived superiority, arrogance and derision for anyone's opinion other than than own had me thinking they were proselytizing and trying to further their cause of 'anti-religion'. Was I mistaken?

Has anyone noticed these billboard posted along the highway with a picture of a baby on it and the words (it maybe just posted in Minnesota)
"What! Embryos are Babies!"
In small letters below this are the words
"Heart Beat 18 days"

Aside from the grammar issues of putting a exclamation point after a question word, who the hell are these ads suppose to convince! (see, I can do that too)

Seriously, that's worse then saying a baby is an old man. Embryos are defined as between the stage of life between fertilization and 8 weeks. Babies are defined as between birth and around 1 year. Seriously, how can anyone argue that these are the same thing. Even epigentically, they are different at this stage.

Furthermore, what in the world is hearbeat argument suppose to prove? Even if you were to argue the absurd idea that anything with a hearbeat is a baby, that would still exclude all embryos younger then 18 days. Can someone please explain why in world someone made these stupid ads?

I am getting so sick of all the racism on Answers. Its so exhausting, It makes me not even want to get on here anymore. Its one thing if someone is asking a question because they are sincerely interested, but the majority are just sick, and would never say these nasty things to someones face.
