I'm trying this one more time

Do you know what an atheist really stands for?

“Your petitioners are Atheists and they define their beliefs as follows. An Atheist loves his fellow man instead of god. An Atheist believes that heaven is something for which we should work now – here on earth for all men together to enjoy.

An Atheist believes that he can get no help through prayer but that he must find in himself the inner conviction, and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it and enjoy it.

An Atheist believes that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help to a life of fulfillment.

He seeks to know himself and his fellow man rather than to know a god. An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered

So does anyone know why Christians today decorate trees at Christmas time? Yes I know it is originally a pagan thing, but what reason do modern day Christians have for it?

do harm to others just because we can and want to.?It seems like animals got the morals that we should have also or even more so Do we need evil to understand what good is all about or is that just a cop out?may be we need to take a page from our animal friends Some people would not hurt a fly ,but that seems like the minority

I had an Indian friend growing up and her house always smelled so good. I have noticed this smell in some eastern shops too. This isn't incense right? There was never any smoke in the house, I just want to duplicate this smell so bad. Is it a constant candle, spray, juice, what?

I am struggling with several issues that stem directly from Vatican II and it's documents.

I had finished reading the Council of Florence as well Council of Trent, et al. before I tackled Vatican II, thinking it better to go in chronological order.

I have found myself at a major quandry. Frankly some of the documents in VII are...suspect. There is alot of ambiguity within said text. Then upon looking at the condition of the Church since the implementation of Vatican II--simply deplorable and if I look back at Florence, Trent, Nicene it seems that Vatican II 'chucked' many of the sacred traditions. The history since VII has bore no possible GOOD fruit from what I see. Could someone assist me and show me what good has come from Vatican II?

Secondly, do I have to follow the Vatican II documents? Reason I ask; is that there is no doctrinal declaration; though there is a pastoral declaration. Help, please!

Can't you just see the people around you having that "Got to get OUT of here" expressins on their faces, forgetting why they are there in the first place, becoming frusterated with the long lines at checkout....

Are you ballsy enough to try to cheer the line -- 'lines' --- back to the festivity of the Holiday by singing out loud a tune that is a reminder of what we are celebrating?

Why or why not?

I asked 2 questions recently. They both have to do with the Biblical God. One dealt with unforgivable sin and the other dealt with abandonment. Each answer chosen reflected the majority view among all respondents. I'd like to know... is one or the other correct, or can they both be correct?

•Question 1: Christians: What, according to the Bible, is the one sin that can never be forgiven?
•Answer: It is blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Or in other words rejecting God. It is the holy Spirit who convicts us of sin. If we continue to ignore the conviction-that is rejection. God will leave us alone to do as we will. At this point he has rejected us.

•Question 2: Christians: Is there anything you could do that would cause God to abandon you?
•Answer: No. He has promised to never leave or forsake me.

Christians who don't like my celebrating it because I'm agnostic (just call it atheist if you don't know what it is), or non-Christians because I'm forcing a religious holiday down their throats? I'm only saying Merry Christmas because it's a commercial holiday and *there is nothing wrong with that!* Merry Christmas, may you enjoy the lights, and avoid the nativity scenes as much as possible!

If some one has a gun to your head and tells you to kill another person. Is morally right according to the catholic church for you to kill that person to save your own life. If any one can tell me where I can find information one this topic it would be a great help,
According to the catechism of the catholic church when your own life is in jeopardy you will not be held responcable for all of your actions.
This is for a Morality Class Essay and is not an opiniated essay. all information must be factual and backed up with sources in the essay. any help with this would be great! Thanks!

ps. I am looking for more factual answers rather than opinions.

I am an international student at the University of Kentucky, tomorrow I will get my final results in one of the subjects, & the professor that teaches that subject was verrry helpful to me throughout that semester, & he's simply the sweetest thing, so I want to give him a Seasonal Greetings card with a token from my country. Do you think it's ok or is it inappropriate? please give me a good advise because I respect him VERY much.
