Society & Culture - 22 December 2006

a holiday such as Christmas, which has been shown to have been adopted from a pagan holiday? Why do we continue to celebrate the birth of Christ when in the Bible itself, there is no mention of Christmas or of celebrating his birth? If we are to believe what is in the bible, how can we pervert the bible and make claims that are not biblical?

Does he let little girls get Raped? or young children be born with Diseases that let them live just long enough to realize what life is all about, then they die a horribly painfull death? Yet I hear Christians everyday say that God helped me drive through the snowstorm....or God was with me at my job interview and he blessed me with a job....so why does he bless you but he lets horrible things happen to innocent people. I have heard its to teach us lessons about life...but what lesson could an 8 year old with terminal cancer need to learn.

Down the street, a manipulative neighbor who always snubs me when she is mad at our mutual friend. Our mutual friend is a very simple minded innocent person who doesn't really do anything wrong to Ms. Manipulative Hypochondriac. Eventually Ms. Innocent forgives Ms. Manipulative but now I am still being snubbed by the manipulative one and the mutual friend says I have to "be nice." Say what? How am I involved in this at all? All I am is associated with Ms. Innocent. Now even my child is being treated rudely... and honestly it is our association with Ms. Innocent who truly is dumb and innocent, that Ms. Hypochondriac does not like. I have to live on this street and it's getting very uncomfortable. I despise this hypochondriac now, just because of this stupid behavior.

A few were of the "I'll get them a collection of..." nature, and I started buying a while ago.

Now, one has spread to FOUR BOXES (gourmet foodstuffs, wine, etc), one's a massive basket (bath stuff, mostly, and perfume and skin care what-not)...

It looks, er, extravagant.

It's along the lines of what I usually buy, but I had extra cash this year.

Should I consider paring stuff down? How do you feel about getting too much, so to speak?

Was it because Mary was simple village girl who did not abused herself from the trends of her evolving culture? Or was it because of her honesty and belief in God. How about if she was not found virgin, by Angel Gabriel, would the plan be carried out still? Yes, many girls waited for such great news, the very news that Mary heard from the angel Gabriel, that she will conceived the baby, that must be born, and be named Jesus, meaning the Savior. What an honor for such a girl with humble beginning. Yet, God was pleased with Mary with the truthfulness within her, and in return Mary was in great jubilee of knowing that was chosen to be the earthly mother of Jesus, the savior of the world.

Take the following example:
An Atheist says "Hey, Christians\Catholics\etc., blah, blah, blah God doesn't exist and you are all deluding yourselves." Then the Christians\Catholics\etc. rally back "Hey, Atheist, blah, blah, blah accept Jesus\Allah\Harry Potter\etc. as your Savior or you will go You Know Where when you die."

If the premise holds that God does his work through us, i.e. he is speaking his will through both the Atheist and the Christians\Catholics\etc., does it not seem that God likes to argue with himself? Has he nothing better to do?

I've got tons of Christmas shopping to do - does God? No, he just gives me a Yahoo Answers addiction so he can talk to himself all day long. I feel so used by the Big Man...how about you?

Do you believe that you will have some kind of physical existance or that you will just exist as a soul? Do you expect any special rewards in heaven or however you call your "positive afterlife"? How do you think that people will be punished in hell, if you believe in a hell?

John 18
"10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) "

Wouldn't that be the right thing to do?
