I have heard lots of crazy things from people in my office (who aren't Mormon), but I want the real story. What do Mormons believe happens after you die?

They claim that the Bible does not say to celebrate Christmas. But it doesn't say to celebrate Hanukkah either.

It is obvious to anyone that the USA has ruined the economy of Iraq.

THe USA has taken far more than an eye for an eye in retribution in my opinion.

Is the USA morally obligated as a so called 'Christian Nation' ( it is a secular nation ) to make amends for what it has done?

Do any of you who answer this have any regets that the USA did what it did?

If there were no real, there would be no point in faking it right? How can people discern true prophets from the false? True Holy Ghost Christians from fake?
I believe in the real and firmly believe the Pharisees were either in danger of or blasphemed the Holy Ghost when they claimed Jesus worked miracles through the spirit of satan instead of through the Holy Spirit so let's make that clear before anyone answers foolishly that there is absolutely no forgiveness for doing this sort of thing.

You act like WE are the bad guys for denoucing the murder, suffering and ignorance that religion promotes. How can you not look at the Middle East and fear for the future of your own children?

only be able to buy nutricious food only. The WIC program is very strict with people buying only nutricious food, so why shouldn't it be the same for general food stamps. I cashier and all I see is the majority of people on foodstamps buying chips, donuts, pop, etc. I mean, if you can't buy toilet paper on food stamps, than why would you be able to buy donuts? And maybe it would help ease taxes a bit if food stamps would only allow you to buy the least expensive brands. This is all true for WIC, but not food stamps. Opinions...?

(Note, I am NOT hating on people with food stamps, just making an observation).

How come in Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol" it talks about the four spirits, Marley, The Ghost Of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present, and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, are the only spirits who need to convince Scrroge, but yet, God didn't do it himself?

season? It says in Wikipedia that it's a secular non-religious thing. So why does it have to be during the Christmas season unless the one who started it had an atheist agenda?

We all agree that the majority of the earth's (God believing) popoulation refer to God as *HIM*.

However, a Mother carries a child in her womb for 9 months...
She nutures and cares for her young unconditionally...
A mother reaches beyond her limits to ensure that her child has everything he/she needs,
She teaches,
She disciplines,
She provides for her young, regardless of circumstances...

A mother is compassionate...however instincttively knows exactly when compassion can be destructive. So we discipline (intuitively)

A mother is sensitive to the needs of her chilldren

So..What traits of GOD is Masculine?

I always see posts here asking "Why do you celebrate Christmas if you don't believe in Christ?" So I prepose we "non-believers" start celebrating Laugh At The Fundies Day on December 25th. I mean, they don't want us celebrating their totally inclusive holiday, right? So we'll just make our own.

It's a time to get together with family and friends, have fun, share good food and presents, and of course, look back at the stupid things religious fundamentalists have done over the past year and laugh and laugh.

"Hey, remember Marck Foley? Good times!"
"What about Fred Phelps? Hilarity!"
"Pass the egg nog!"

What do you think? Will it catch on? Think we can talk some stores into having Laugh At The Fundies Day sales?

A few weeks ago, I was driving home from school, minding my own business. I was stopped at an intersection, and there was this car right by me. Anyway, it was a green light and I was going to go across until I saw a little girl standing right in front of my car. and she looked like my ,then, older cousin, who died when we were kids. I didn't know what else to do, because the kid was just standing in front of my car. so i started to honk my horn. The person in the other car beside me proceeded across the street. I was still honking my horn when I heard this big crash. Pieces of cars were flying every where. And it really freaked me out when a gospel CD landed on my car. Some car had ran a red light and hit the car the was next to me. Everyone was okay, some people had cuts all over themselves. but their cars were totaled. and when I got out of my car to see if everyone was okay, the kid disappeared. i don't know. maybe I am going crazy or something

Pornography! Yup, I'm pretty much addicted and want to quit. Why? I'm really tired of myself doing this stuff again and again and again. I think somebody out there could provide some guidance.

i was reading on wikipedia about the angel of death and it seems islam, judasm, and christanity all have very differnt views. chirstans saw him/her as a agent of the devil, jews saw him/her as a angery devine angel, and ther was not enough for me to get a view of islam...so um what do you think about death?
