Obviously looking at facts, religious is a farce, totally false. Just look what's become of christianity there are so many sects. protestants, orthodox, roman catholic, ect. and in capitalist economies like the US it is used for commercial purposes. Likewise can be said of Islam, Shia, Sunni, ects, also used for propoganda at times. But nontheless it is interesting to learn where the Heaven-Hell, Good-Evil duel principle began, is it in our nature. Or because tribes in the ancient times were against each other and so they made up things saying the other tribe was evil while their tribe was good, ect.

I am Pagan so I celebrate Yule. How can I tell my husband's mother that the traditions she follows to celebrate Christmas are Pagan in origin? Without affending her, of course. Is there a book or a website I can point her to for in depth information?

"All that academic education is usless

I saw this quote and I do not want my son to believe most of what is recorded in the bible.

I have the belief that if you send a fundie to college, than you have no more fundie. I am not talking about a bible college, of course.

I met a bible college educated missionary with a degree. I asked him my favorite question for the fundies, "Did Gandhi go to heaven?". The answer should be, yes, of course. This man did not know who Gandhi was. How can a person go all the way through college and not know who Gandhi was?

Is it "bad" to make someone desire something that she may not have otherwise wanted; to manipulate another persons temptations or desires?

I am not mocking or having fun about the Christians. please think about this question before answering. if you don't like it just skip it. thank you.

drinking too much alcohol, Adultery, many forbiden things that God will never accept from them.
celebrating Christmas is not even a thing that God commanded us to do.< God is not the author of confusion>

In Islam, we believe in all the prophets, Jesus peace be upon him is one of them, I don't think that he will be happy about what the Christians invented after he departed.
He will comeback to correct all the beliefs of mankind, and call them to Islam. >, it will be always a group on the truth. All the prophets submited to God and his commands. all of them worshiped one God, the creator of everything. God can't change,

Most infidels don’t even consider the Quran to be a big deal. They say a village idiot can come up with such a book. They claim that many people have written much better books than Quran. But I ask them, can anyone match the apostle’s lovemaking prowess? Can they at the age 60+ make love to 10 young women in a single night? Yes, the apostle could do it. That is an irrefutable proof of his prophethood, which cannot be duplicated.

Bukhari,Volume 1, Book 5, Number 268:

“Prophet was given the strength (sexual) of thirty men”.

Apostle could make love (continuously) to all his wives (9 to 11) in one night.

Volume 1, Book 5, Number 268:

"The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number. Prophet was given the strength of thirty (men)."

Bukhari,Volume 7, Book 62, Number 6:

The Prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night

Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 5, Number 270:

Aisha said, "I scented Allah's Apostle and he went round (had sexual intercourse with) all his wives."

I don't understand why the resurrection is such a big deal when back in those days people came back from the dead all the time. The term "Dead ringer" comes from a medieval practice of hooking up a bell to a string that went into the coffin of a recently buried person, so if that person had accidentally been buried alive, (s)he could ring the bell and summon help--people who sat up listening for this bell all night were said to be working the graveyard shift. The bible even says everybody was a little surprised at how quickly Christ died, so it's pretty likely he wasn't dead at all, just in a very deep coma, and awoke later--like Edgar Allen Poe's wife. So why is his resurrection, considered to be such a miracle? It happened all the time!

and start believing in him when they at first did not when something major happens in their life.

Or, different. Why do some people blindly jump into the Christian faith without first finding out if they are spiritually connected to it??

There are so many other Religions out there, and it always boils down to prayings to Jesus when one is not even sure he is the one who did it when the individual had no faith at all to start off with.

This does not mean I have anything against people doing this. I glad people find faith, what they do is fine as long as its ethical.
Its just a question that comes to mind....

I Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJV) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53; Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
