Atheists do not believe in God. Can they be referred to as godless. If they do not believe in soul either, can they be soulless? Anyway, do the atheists believe in spirit whether they are good or bad?

Why do people continue to answer posts with the correct answer if the question has already been aswered with the definitive answer. (or am I being pedantic because I haven't been able to give that definitive answer yet?)

I've noticed that a number of non-believers seem to believe that Christians are uneducated and incapable of reasoning things out for themselves. Can we have a showing of Christians that have gone to university, obtained advanced degrees, and started their own companies, or are employed in a firled that requires intelligence and critical thinking?

Maybe, just maybe I have to be really careful about word choice so as not to have my question(s) pulled for being too offensive. I say: Driving and driving. You say: Drinking and driving. We'll see what happens.

It is loud and annoying and glorifies drugs and crime and degrades women. People who blast it from their cars are the rudest and when they are at a stoplight, it is imbarrasing to me as a lady to have to hear that kind of language especially when I am with my daughter. Isn't it just pure trash?

The "W" in Christmas

Each December, I vowed to make Christmas a calm and peaceful experience.

I had cut back on nonessential obligations - extensive card writing,
endless baking, decorating, and even overspending.

Yet still, I found myself exhausted, unable to appreciate the
precious family moments, and of course, the true meaning of
Christmas.

My son, Nicholas, was in kindergarten that year. It was an exciting season
for a six year old.

For weeks, he'd been memorizing songs for his school's "Winter Pageant."

I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd be working the night of the
production. Unwilling to miss his shining moment, I spoke with his teacher.
She assured me there'd be a dress rehearsal the morning of the
presentation.

All parents unable to attend that evening were welcome to come then.
Fortunately, Nicholas seemed happy with the compromise.

So, the morning of the dress rehearsal, I filed in ten minutes
early, found a spot on the cafeteria floor and sat down. Around the room, I
saw several other parents quietly scampering to their seats.
As I waited, the students were led into the room. Each class,
accompanied by their teacher, sat cross-legged on the floor. Then, each
group, one by one, rose to perform their song.

Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the holiday
as "Christmas," I didn't expect anything other than fun, commercial
entertainment songs of reindeer, Santa Claus, snowflakes and good cheer.

So, when my son's class rose to sing, "Christmas Love," I was slightly
taken aback by its bold title.

Nicholas was aglow, as were all of his classmates, adorned in fuzzy
mittens, red sweaters, and bright snow caps upon their heads.

Those in the front row- center stage - held up large letters, one by one,
to spell out the title of the song.

As the class would sing "C is for Christmas," a child would hold up the
letter C. Then, "H is for Happy," and on and on, until each child holding
up his portion had presented the complete message, "Christmas Love."

The performance was going smoothly, until suddenly, we noticed her; a
small, quiet, girl in the front row holding the letter "M" upside down -
totally unaware her letter "M" appeared as a "W".

The audience of 1st through 6Th graders snickered at this little one's
mistake. But she had no idea they were laughing at her, so she stood tall,
proudly holding her "W".

Although many teachers tried to shush the children, the laughter continued
until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together.

A hush came over the audience and eyes began to widen.

In that instant, we understood the reason we were there, why we celebrated
the holiday in the first place, why even in the chaos, there was a purpose
for our festivities.

For when the last letter was held high, the message read loud and clear:

"C H R I S T W A S L O V E"

And, I believe, He still is.
Amazed in His presence....humbled by His love.

Again, HAVE A BLESSED Christmas and a Happy New Year.
LOVE IN CHRIST. Miracles happen to those who believe in them.

Things are starting to get a little cramped at my family's house; just wondering how other people deal with that. Eating, say, buffet-style and sitting wherever in the house would work, but seems inferior to everybody sitting down...

Every year we send her kids nice toys for Christmas, nothing extravagant, just fun stuff because we believe that Christmas is for kids. Every year she sends me a little box of junk you can buy at a dollar store. This year we received a small box full of japanese snacks. We are not japanese, nor do we like japanese snacks. She didnt even wrap them nor put a card inside, nothing. Just a box with like .99 snacks inside and a beat up frame, which she probably purchased at the dollar store with the pictures of her kids. (which by the way are the same pictures we got last year).

Now hear me, she is not hurting for money. She owns a restaurant and has a nice house and she is well off. So why these crappy gifts?

My question is..should I stop sending her kids nice toys and spend as much as she spends on us? or should I talk to her? and if I do, how do I tactfully ask her to please stop sending us these crappy gifts that will end up in the trash anyway.

and when survivors of some catastrophe say that God saved them, by the same logic should I conclude that the ones that aren't as lucky were ignored by God?
The boy that was born with an incurable disease, the homeless or the ones that died in hurricanes, why weren't their prayers answered?
Why is God only responsible for the good but never the bad?
