I pray and meditate and I have exercised faith and I am still in pain and have to take a lot of medication to walk? Why am I not ok?
It says if you have faith in the bible you can move mountains and so much and I have faith yet I am in pain. I don't even usually say it because I try to think positive and exercise faith, I am frustrated.

I actually read somewhere that more people are offended some wishes "Happy Holidays".

I know this questions has been asked but do you agree with the above statement? Do you think MORE people are offended when others say Merry Christmas or do you think more people are offended when HAPPY HOLIDAYS is wished?

WHICH do you think offends MORE PEOPLE and what do YOU think?

By the way, I am happy with any good wish. I just can't sleep and I do get frustrated with the way things are so P.C......

You can't use something as proof when it's truthfulness is what is in question. Does this not make sense?

Is believing the Holocaust a must?, or we have the freedom to believe what we think is right?
I myself believe that the Holocaust happened to thousands of Jews, But my question is “Do the world really have the freedom of believing? Or the Jews are forcing an exception?”

always trying to say their religion is better?
I've always thought their religion is a sh.it, but I dont go and say it in their faces, in fact I try to stay well away from them, so, why dont they have some respect and notice when theyre not wanted?

Koran, Bible,etc. are written a long time ago and we even need translation to understand them. They appear to give guidance to human at that time. Hundreds of years have passed, do you think they still applicable literally ?

This is a difficult question and in all trivial aspects I have debated this for the past six months. I am not a religious expert but I do know a little about some of the main ones, I myself am agnostic. I was raised through Christianity and a Methodist however after learning different religious ways I lost my belief in Christianity as the true Faith. There are many ways to God. My entire Dad's family is Jewish. Now to my question: Six months ago before my graduation my grandfather passed away, it was difficult for me as we were close. He was of the Jewish faith, I must know. In the Christian light, would he go to hell? What is the Jewish belief on death and salvation? I am very secure in my beliefs and how I feel, yet I have been bothered by how that stands in other religions that feel they are dominate...For the dominate religions do only its followers reach that God?

what kind of ceremony do you want?
I want something far away from any church, probably be cremated, something kind of long, and the people I care about have a nice time remembering not just crying all the time, then maybe thrown away in a place I like, you?

Okay, I'm only 13...and I'm an Athiest. (no trying to convince me God exsists) and I wanna ask all you stereotypes out therewhy you lump people into catgories. You say Athiests are all people putting their beliefs on others, when I feel as if some of you are trying to put your beliefs on me. Why do you all insist on convincing people there is a god when you should only worry for yourself? And if they still don't agree with you, you lump them into careless prtogainists. Why?

Christmas is not Christ's real birthday. We know that he was born sometime in the Spring. Christmas is based upon the pagan holiday of St. Nicholas. Why do so many people think it's Christ's birthday?
