...without the principles of Christianity?

2007-01-12 21:57:03 · 13 answers · asked by Yoshiyahu's em 1 in Religion & Spirituality

I would prefer it if Christmas were practiced in private where they cannot be seen in public. This is because, as a Christian, I am deeply offended by Christmas. Everytime I see Santa or a Christmas tree I am reminded of Satan. How hard must Satan be laughing at the millions of people practicing pagan and sexual rituals?

Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, of course, but everyone also has the right to the choice to block himself from offensive things. This is why homosexual sexual intercourse, although deeply offensive to many people, is allowed only in private. If a couple had sex in public, imagine what effect this would have on the children who see it? Parents have a right to protect their children from seeing nudity and immoral sexual acts. Likewise, parents have a right to protect their children from the Satanic influences of Christmas.

That said, since Christmas is so widespread, how can I block it from my family?

My thought is that god created the earth the creatures on it but what if someone did discover life on a distant planet. Does that contradict Christian teachings?

I have a copy of the new world translation of the holy scriptures issued by the watchtower society. I would like to know if bible versions published by different religious movements , in this case the jehovas witnesses is in any way biased or differs significantly from lets say, those published by the catholic church. I have only discovered that in my version the word god has been substituted for Jehova.

why would He let everybody enter STRAIGHT to heaven after they die without being punished for the crimes they have committed during their lifetime? some say they will go straight to heaven regardless of the weight of their sins, as long as they accepted Jesus. where's the sense of justice in that? why would those people be allowed to get away with impunity when they made so many people suffer during their lifetime, like those who committed murder, why do some people think they will ALL go STRAIGHT to heaven once they accepted Jesus and pray the "sinner's prayer"? do you mean to say, those victims and their adversaries will see each other in heaven? wouldn't that be hell for the victims rather than heaven?

for me, i think somehow they should be punished for the consequences of their crimes. that's justice.

if someone believes in God's REAL Justice, i think he/she can never comprehend why those "sinners" will go unpunished just because they've accepted Jesus.

Not to be racist or throw out stereotypes, but I went to see Stomp the Yard tonight and the audience was predominantly black. I could not even hear the movie because it was so loud in the theater. They ended up stopping the movie about 20 minutes in because a fight broke out. Obviously, there are loud whites, mexicans, asians, whatever else... but almost every time I've gone to see a "black movie" there have been very rude, loud people in the audience. I know the question sounds racist, but I'm honestly just wondering if it's a cultural thing or what... I'm not saying that I've never seen a movie and been interrupted by white people being rude or asian people being rude, but the large majority of the time it's been african americans that are standing up and cheering and yelling and just plain being rude. The question is not meant to offend and I apologize if it does... just curious that's all. Thanks

I have had a friend tell me I'm nuts, but who is being harmed here? She is just unable to conceive of enjoying such a thing. No pictures or video are being shared. It's just nice stimulating chat. I also share music and images i find on the internet, but nothing personal. While my friend may be too repressed to enjoy such a thing, why should she give me such a hard time?

Proper manners seem to have left us forever. I help people every day and never hear these two words. It's almost as if people "expect" you to help them or are too busy with their own problems to say it. Believe me; silence does not express gratitude.

Share a little about yourself here, no religion or anything, simply something about you.

Post a link to a personal site if you like.

I'd like to see who you are, and learn what you are about! :)

My 360 page is up if you'd like to know about me.

There to be a Big Bang there as to be atoms (life is made of atoms right, where do the atoms come from????

Evolution says that life evolved with no reason, so big bang was an explosion of something, and then the planets came to be, the stars came to be, etc. If you leave a seed on the ground the tree will grow, but you have to plant a seed, is there any plant that came or tree that doesn't have a seed to create a root?

The mathematical probability of a SINGLE CELL (atoms) coming about by chance is 1/10340,000,000, the fraction 1 divided by 1 followed by 340 million zeros! (Imagine the rest of the Universe).
Now if life changed in accordance to nature, then why did nature change? What is the cycle?
When you have a problem to solve... DON'T YOU GO TO THE BEGGINING? Man kind evolved??? Is there a proof? Some men are taller than others, some have big eyes, some have a lot of hair, does that mean that we all evolved into different creatures?
Can some one explain in a serious way?
