The 3 wise men brought gifts to the baby Jesus. We give gifts at CHRISTmas.

The 3 wise men followed the bright star (a special light) to find the baby Jesus. We put up CHRISTmas lights.

What's with the "Christians" that are so against CHRISTmas?

I was in a bad relationship for 7 years and after 4 years I started praying cause I really wanted my boyfriend and I to work things out.Needless to say my praying didnt help our relationship and I really meant it when I prayed.So what was I doing wrong?I just chalked it up to,'if it wasnt meant to be, it doesnt matter how much you pray for something,it was just meant for you to go thru pain.And you can tell me,'look He helped you get thru it tho.'Yea, I'm still alive.But what's the point putting me thru so much pain for?Sure you say,'God knew you were strong thats why He didnt change it cause He knew I would get thru it........'Whatever'. Someone help me understand why some people pray and get "miracles",while others pray and get nothing.

What if you picked up the newspaper tomorrow, or put on CNN or what ever you might watch, and the story of the day was that there was indisputable proof that god doesn't exist. I don't know how, but it was proven.

What would you do? Would it change the way you live your life? would you feel cheated, or that you wasted your life? would there be riots in the streets?

What if?

I work with this guy who is gay. He's a decent guy. He mentioned something he liked the other day. I was thinking I could make it for him and give it to him as a Christmas gift. If I do this, does it make me gay?

The christians here often claim that proof of god can be found "everywhere" and sometimes cite the splendor of nature. Obviously this is not irrefutable proof of a supreme being, for instance when I see a sunset, I appreciate it's beauty without attributing it to a higher power. So is it just in the way one perceives the world? And in that case, is there any hope that people will reconcile their differences and stop daming everyone to hell and claiming that evolution is an evil plot? Just curious.

I had a reading by a very popular medium and I was blown away by some of the things she knew but with some things she was off. Should I believe in the things she said?

Rape, incest, murder are all condoned in the Bible. Scholars can you give the quote for them and more.

Of course you can consider major events to fit somewhere in the bible as a prophesized prediction, I could do the same thing with any lengthy book of tales that was written before the event took place.

Have you ever considered that the bible is not the ONLY book that was written before a major event that might also contain a passage or story that could be translated to a direct connection to the prediction?

Ministers, preachers, whoever you go to for your church events are of course going to interwine the bible to be directly coordinated to any major event, it's their job to look for these things. They have all the time in the world to sit down, take out some passages, take out some current events and weave them together as a 'prophecy foretold in the bible'.

Are they ever 'word for word' correct? Absolutely not, could the passages be interputated another way if you weren't biased to only believe a certain way? Absolutely, why are so many in denial of this? Fear?

play into you Political one? For example, (prompted by another question) Would you see the economic and humane benifit of legalizing prostitution, even though your religion views it as sinful? Or your stand an abortion? Or do you choose who you vote for because of their religious background, or their political issues?

For me, my religious view, and my political one often dont go together, I keep them seperate. How does it work for you, and why?

... that Zeus is actually the one true god, and that you have been mistaken? What sort of proof or reasoning would you require?

I don't mean this as an insult. I just want you to consider it. Because whatever your demands are, I'm sure they're very close to what we atheists would demand of you, and your god.

Think it over. Consider this when you attempt to discuss your religion with us...

This is a serious question. I have had 3 near death experiences. So I know there is a GOD. I am just curious if there are others that may not have believed in GOD before near death experience that have had their mind changed and life changed due to it?
Please no stupid answers. If you don't believe in near death experiences you will one day. But I am not here to try to convince you of it. I am just curious of how many people who had their life changed. I have always believed in GOD but more so since these experiences.

If prayers really work, we should able to easily measure and therefore demonstrate that people who pray for something vs people that simply express their desire for something would get more of those asked for things. So you have people who pray and then you have other people simply write down that they want the very same thing. Those that pray ought to have a higher percentage of wishes fulfilled.
