so many people bemoan the task of HAVING to find gifts for people they are really not that close to, but feel obligated simply because millions of dollars spent on advertising say they should. do you give gifts simply out of obligation?

I started doing this as a kid, and I still love it. I sometimes, when I'm relaxing or have nothing else to do, will lay on the floor under the Christmas tree, with my head right next to the trunk. It's almost magical, as you look up into the forest above you, the shining lights and pretty ornaments. It's almost like being in the Ewok village, or a miniature person on a model railroad. Your consciousness just seems to explore upward into the tree, letting your spirit, for a short time, revisit that feeling of security and warmth that was a constant when I was a kid.
I find it quite relaxing. How 'bout you?

Any suggestions such as organizations we can ask, etc. is welcome. Please feel free to comment. Thank u & God bless!

It seems that many Christians say that Jesus is a God, and God is a God, but seem to personalize "Him" into a human form. Do most Christians believe God is like a human teacher, but in a different place (Heaven, maybe) and teaches us Intelligent Design from a throne and lets non-believers do the science? Or do Christians believe God is an indescribable energy form that affects the universe like nuclear energy affects things? I'm wondering if most Christians visualize God as a human form who lives in some unseen, mysterious place, or if maybe the Christian God is not a human form, but could be interpreted as Universal Energy that facilitates wondrous discoveries. And if Human form, then why is He "perfect" with all the horrible things in the world, and why would non-believing scientists give us so many important discoveries? Thanks.

For example: http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/12/21/kids.bay.ap/index.html

How can you believe that god would have tested Abraham with a human sacrifice, or allowed Jephtha to sacrifice his daughter and not believe that this woman was called by god to sacrifice her child?

Furthermore, how is it acceptable to justify any action by saing "god told me to do it?" If you are willing to call this woman "insane" wouldn't you also have to be insane to believe that god wanted you to do anything else?

Like they don't care about the world and what will happen to it in the future nor about global warming and say things like "I don't care, i won't be alive then!"

Consider the following: Christ said "the servant is not greater than the Master." He is the Master and was crucified.

Thus if Christ suffered, and said that we will suffer for His name sake, then why do so many people focus on the pain instead of the blessings?

Countries like Brazil, former largest Roman Catholic country in the world, has been loosing Catholic followers at a quick pace towards other creeds.
The very conservative approach the church has been using, the sexual harassment affairs the church has been trying to hide behind the Vatican fortress seems to be the trigger of the massive flight of their faithful herd all over the world.

This question doesn't concern the friends before the relationship? Those people your mate values and respect and choose to keep in there life. This should not be an issues. So please don't focus your repsonse on the "old friends" .

Is it reasonable to have new female friends while in a relationship?
Personally, I'm okay, but only to a certain extent.

For example is alright for your mate, without your knowledge, make a new friend online. If it is reaonsonable, is it okay for your mate to go to the movies with this new friend without you.

Should there be a line drawn to how new female friends should be made and how do you draw that line with your mate so both have a reaonable understanding.

Please provide serious and respectful responses.

When I was a kid X-Mas Eve was always very quiet & we didn't celebrate until the next morning after Santa came, but when we got older my sister married an Italian & boy do they celebrate X-Mas Eve. I've been invited there for the last 17 years & I really can't imagine not celebrating X-Mas Eve again, but my mom still likes to stay home & for it to be a quiet night. Which one or both do you celebrate?

This should be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

And always remember....when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!

Merry X-mas

The ACLU is usingthe police power of governemnt to force religion out of some aspects of society, by having certain historical religious symbols removed from public places. They also try to get prayer removed from schools.

Students have the right to pray unintrusively in school because their parents pay taxes as well.

Particular religion=Christianity

I have an uncle who is having open heart surgery and my mom wants me to take her go see him well in the past he had made a threat about killing me and I have not gotten over what he said. Especially since he just got out of prison for killing someone well since he has been out he is suppose to be some born again christian, but for him to continue to say that he will kill someone even if it is just words just to scare someone makes me feel a little uncomfortable around him. I truly dislike him and do not trust him, but he is my mom's brother. She wants to see him, but I can't seem to clear my mind of his evil ways which possibly put him in the hospital.... How do I forgive him and move on? He pretends to be a preacher and I know he is not sincere......
