Why is it?

I've read in places like Wal*Mart, Target, or even public schools, you aren't allowed to say "Christmas". It has to be "Happy Holidays". And then there's "X-mas". That really irritates me. They just put and X over where Christ's name would be. That sounds a lot like people are trying to take the Christ out of Christmas and only focus on presents and stuff like that. I am a United Methodist, and I find this to be wrong and against our Lord and Savior that was born on CHRISTmas Day.

For instance if i say anything about lazy, ignorant, irresponsibly breeding people with a poor work ethic and speak in an improper manner blacks automatically assume I am talking about them and report me to the yahoo opinion police. I hate these traits in whites too.

Could it be they are saying we act this way because we are of a certain color and have no free will over our own actions and act purely without thought or consideration for others.

I mean if people say they know god and fulfil the prophecy which says many will say Jesus name with their lips but their hearts are far from him! dosuch people really kNOW jesus? I dont think so! i think many people bear false witness, and have done this throughout history. I know reading the bible the is NOT the same thing as Knowing Jesus. I know that just because a person prays to god, they do not know God.
if a spirit came to them in a dream would they immediately call the spirit SATAN of if Satan appeared to them would they bow down and call him jesus?!!! You cant know who God is unless He came down and sat at dinner withyou like he did with abraham. or with Enoch. !!!
I believe you are all deceived and at worst liars

What is the point of locking away petty criminals when they view it as a badge of honour? At the end of their prison term they usually end up being seen as the hard boys they always wanted to be by fellow yobs!

What if instead of being given useless cautions and little jail terms they were forced to clean up streets, dig up roads in little pink dresses with dafodils in their hairs! They wouldn't feel so hard and tuff!

What's more ? At the end of each days, honest hard working citizens will be allowed to "stone" them with rotten tomatos. That would be a good stress relief.

Let's bring back the power to the people!

After the divine victory, a whole review is going about the military tanks designs.



I recently attended a conference at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism near Tel Aviv where senior military officers analysed the operational lessons of Israel's campaign in Lebanon. One of the most salient developments from the fighting was the prolific use of sophisticated anti-tank weaponry by Hezbollah.

During the 34-day conflict, the militia's fighters fired hundreds of anti-tank guided missiles that inflicted more than half of all Israeli combat fatalities. These weapons were used not only against conventional targets such as armoured vehicles but against dispersed infantry formations as well.

Major General Giora Eiland (retired), Israel's former national security adviser, described this deluge of missiles as one of the great tactical surprises of the war. And to their chagrin, the Israelis discovered that their top-of-the-line main battle tank, the Merkava Mark IV, was vulnerable to modern missiles with tandem warheads.

Just as Israel is engaged in self-evaluation, there is no doubt that a similar process of assessment is under way on the other side of the firing line.

Hezbollah commanders and their Iranian sponsors are doubtless closely studying what worked and what didn't. Islamic holy warriors from other fronts in the global jihad are also surely looking to Lebanon for tactical tips in their fight against the infidel. The roadside explosives and suicide vehicles that plague Western forces in Afghanistan and Iraq were first perfected by Hezbollah during the 1990s.

The effectiveness of the Lebanese Shi'ite militia's anti-tank tactics against Israel makes that stratagem a highly attractive model for imitation. Thus the coalition in Iraq and Afghanistan must prepare to encounter late-model anti-tank missiles in future engagements with jihadi insurgents. These sophisticated weapons are coming soon to a theatre of operations near you.

Yet as things now stand, the Australian army is woefully ill-prepared to meet this threat. The Russian Spandrel and Kornet missiles of Hezbollah were able to penetrate the sophisticated composite armour of Israel's 65-tonne Merkava. There is little doubt such weapons would prove to be effective against the flanks and rear of Australia's similarly protected Abrams tanks. Even worse would be the destruc`tion that modern anti-tank missiles would inflict upon the more lightly armoured elements of our mechanised forces. The Kornet's tandem warhead would punch through Australian ASLAVs, Bushmasters and M-113s with a terrible ease.

I went to war in 1982 on the back of an Israeli M-113. And I bear all the nostalgic affection for that Vietnam-era vehicle that a WWII tank general might have held for the horse-mounted cavalry of his youth.

I'm a 14 years old girl, and I'm rather confused of these things:
1. Do you think that "The DA Vinci Code" may be true? (I read it before and found it interesting and so many facts, u no!)
2. How do you know that Jesus was really born on 25 december?
3. Do you think that "the Gospel of Judas" is true?
4. Why can't we see God?
thx and Merry christmas to you all! Peace be with you!!

I asked athiests to explain their unbelief and got all really good answers. Now, Christians, why do you believe what you do? Were you raised Christian, did you have an experience, did God reveal Himself to you in some way, and do you question your belief? I would like real answers, not preaching please.
