And why can't they get a life instead of mucking up this site where some of you are asking real questions and searching for real answers? Hint: atheist's, this is a rhetorical question. (That means I don't really expect a intelligent answer.) And judgeing by some of your comments, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. And please remember it was our Christian forfathers that formed the constitution insuring your right to go on the internet or by any public means freely say what you want to. You're even free to make a fool of yourself if you so desire. I am kindly asking you to quit exercising that freedom here. Again, get a life.

I love having something personally made a Whole lot more than getting a coupon or a gift I won't use... so what are some ideas of gifts that can be handmade for an economical price?

I love homemade candies and cookies, as well as crafts and fun ideas...

Here was the best place I could think to ask this, because there are SO many people in here that have either given or received somethng wonderful as a gift that didn't cost much, but the thoughtfulness in the gift meant SO much more than the price.

I like to go out for a drink occasionally, and I have a couple of buddies that like to tag along, and one night as we left the bar we were accosted by some renegade preacher that said that we were going to hell for frequenting such an establishment. Well we discussed this in private and decided that he might be right, but we couldn't agree on which of us had commited the greatest sin. While in the bar I had rubbed my hand down the backside of our waitress, one of my buddies had gone into the bathroom and smoked a joint, and the other one, who happens to be gay, had gone to the parking lot with some guy that he had just met and from what I understand they did the big nasty.

Heres my question. Am I the greatest sinner for stroking butts?
Is friend #1 the greatest for smoking butts?
or is it friend #2 the greatest for poking butts?

Use the diverse concepts of Ultimate Reality/ The Holy/ The Sacred in the respective religious traditions to offer reasons why rituals can take on great significance in religious contexts.

She has no wrinkles whatsoever! The body is already developed, i.e. it's almost the same for an 18 year old and a 25 year old!
I mean, if it was 18 year old girl and 40 year old woman, then coz of the wrinkles on the face and neck, the eyes kinda look tired too. But at that young age, what reveals that she's older?

(18 and 25 are just hypothetical examples!)

Thanks!!

So please stop trying to make yourself look above others. Your religion is no more special than any others, they are beliefs. Others have faith in their religions just as you have faith in yours.

The first non-religious text mention of jesus came from Josephus, and guess what, he was born after Jesus supposedely died!! It would be kind of hard for him to have known him right?

Is it me or has the meaning of Christmas (i.e. the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ) all but evaporated? Nowadays kids think it's all about a fictitious old man with a white beard, red coat an black boots who travels around the globe by a sleigh pulled by reindeer delivering presents; many adults just use it as an excuse to eat and drink themselves stupid.
...and what of this absurd notion that Christmas should not be recognised as a Christian festival in the UK for fear of offending minority religions? Does Turkey feel the need to suspend Islamic festivals so as not to offend its Christian minorities? I mean, there is even a clue in the name - CHRISTmas. Where has the it gone?

I will use it a lot and with all the hard work I have put in I feel I truley deserve it. So a person did purchase it for me. Now all I hear from my family and friends is how they have no money for what they want. Now I realy feel bad.

I've had Jehova's Witness Friends, Mormon, Oneness Pentecostal Friends and fundamentalist Baptist friends claim that their denomination was the only right one and if I didn't believe what they believed in then I wasn't going to be saved?

I always wondered why these people weren't more concerned about witnessing to those who aren't Christians at all, rather than trying to convert Christians of other denominations to their own. We read the same Bible. Why all the different beliefs from the same book?

I have been a Catholic for 52 years and the way people talk here is that every Priest is a paedophile. I have met and had dealings with the Priests through activities in the Church and not one has done the wrong thing. So don't blame all the Priests there are a lot of decent ones.

Has any one else met a good Priest?
