Pop culture. Commercialism. Multi Culturalsim. Even Santa Claus. All of these seem to change what Christmas is all about.
Its not about family.
Its not about gifts.
Its not about presents.
Its not about accepting other people's views.
Its not about jolly ole Saint Nick.

Its about the birth of the Savior, the Son of God, the Redeemer of Mankind.

I will probably get alot of 'inclusionistic' ideas from the PC crowd in here, but they're only adding to the idea that Christ has been removed from 'Christ'mas.

In times when man's fate was in the hands of mother nature, religion was used to explain the unexplainable. To give reason and motive to things man could not understand or deal with, and to endear certain qualities of man and shape the way we should live.

Now, in a world where our fates are typically in our own hands, why do these same values enforced by -most- religions lead to conflicts and detrimental behaviour? Why has religion simply become a status symbol of a superficial nature rather than a system of core, fundamental beliefs?

Acts 17 27-28
27 that they should seek God, in hope that they might feel after him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us.

28 for "In Him we live and move and have our being", as even some of your poets have said,' For we are indeed his offspring,'

Lets priase our Lord and savior today and seek his face
May God Bless you all

Ok, I'm sure you're saying QUIT! But its a tiny company and the first job where I am really needed and depended on. In my actual work, 95% of my contact is with his partner, and the boss and I were more friends. Now I realize he went out of his way to not mention his girlfriend for almost a year. He was also so over the top in his flirting (sitting on my lap, asking me to rub his feet), that I never really thought he wasn't single. I finally went home with him after a party, lots of fun...Went to the office after work (I work on the road) for an office party and this woman says, "Hi, I'm xxxxx, xxxx's girlfriend."
My Thoughts:
1) I pushed my way into this company because I thought they would become very successful and invested a year in it.
2) I could easily continue to work with the partner and not talk to him
3) I feel that if I continue to work, I'll be "approving" of the cheating
4) If I dissapear, he'll "get away with it"
5) If I stay, I'll lose self-respect

The liberals say it's insensitive. How long before a Charlie Brown Christmas is Banned? Why do Liberals love Nazi's, The black Panthers, Crips and Bloods, Muslim Extremists, Rapists and all non-whites but hate Christians?

Worldwide Islamic conflicts: Chechnya, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Somolia, Sudan and Dafur genocide, Chad, Phillipines, Indonesia, Lebanon, Palastine, Iraq, Algeria, Southern India, Kashmir, etc..

Can I get someone to clear up any misconceptions people have the of reality of Islam....you know..."reality", as in "those fricking things that really happen as opposed to what lying or naive apologists claim should happen".

I would really like it if I could get some teenager or other weak ignorant little person, who loves to offer opinions based on no knowledge and a naive simplistic saturday morning cartoon cliche worldview, to apologize for Islam and all the Islamic war everywhere in the world.

Myself, I dont see how a religion created by a warlord could produce such violence and intolerance, but because of my inability to cope with reality, I would prefer to call fellow countrymen and realists "haters" and adopt the apologists view hook line and sinker.

Does anyone really care about anyone else these days? We seem so driven by success and tring to change and better our OWN lives, we forget how manny people are starving and going with out what we complain about. How does this end? and how do we help the people going threw unfortunate times?

NOTHING? So quick to put down others with your slandering bashing, instead of being helpful? Am I confused here? Are all you "christians" really "christians" or are you satanist in disguise?

As he was walking down the street he was hanging onto the other mans hand. There was another girl walking beside him. We have talked about having a threesome, but I told him I wasn't ready. He says that he is not anything but straight and that it was just a friend he hasn't seen for a while. I do not know what to think.
