Theoretically, since you can have a personal relationship with God and Jesus and if you call out to them they're supposed to be present in your life at all time, couldn't the same be done with Santa? If you summoned Santa the way christians summon God & Jesus, what kind of results would you get?

I think it would go a little like this: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/viewer.php?id=283729&key=UzNzWsXzZtOzZxbStiOWY4NjUxOGY4Qjg4NTIrM19xMWIyNjE7QjU4QlYxOzJWMDFiODI4ZjIrVnFfOTgxbTk5OTU0Mzg3MQ%3D%3D

But what do you think?

Have you ever thought about how strange it is that your faith practice essentially honors a Middle Eastern tribal deity (Jehovah, Yahweh)? In other words, that you're worshipping a foreign god?

Have you ever considered that obsession with sin, viewing the body with shame, and fear of death and dying are values completely alien to your pre-Christian ancestors? They valued courage and self-reliance, laughter and loyalty, strength and standing up for yourself... not humility, weeping, and turning the other cheek.

Just something you may wish to consider...

Moses said a prophet must be in agreement with the prophets and the word of God.
Moses said there was a tree of life in the midst of the garden.
Moses said God said let US create man in OUR image. Then God created man with more than flesh but with an eternal spirit and these became a living soul.
Abraham said the lord would provide himself a lamb.
Isaiah said the Messiah would atone for sin.
John the Baptist said Behold the lamb of God.
Jesus agreed with the prophesy of Isaiah and said he was this Messiah and he would fufill this prophesy.
One Muslim said to be a good Muslim one must agree with the prophets of God and the Qu'ran.
How can a man agree with the prophets of God and the Qu'ran?

Ayn Rand has this philosophy called objectivism. I think it makes a lot of sense. I'm getting ready to read one of her books. "The Fountainhead" Do you know anything about any of this?

I consider spiritual warfare to be on two levels: The outer influences of the world that make you forget your cause, and the inner temptations that can make a train wreck of your best intentions.

I have a feeling we are all going to be sorely tried. Thank you for your answers and opinions.

I want to believe in the supernatural and things like this but also I am a skeptic of everything and need proof before I believe anything. Do you believe in psychics? Are you psychic? Can u prove it? It would be nice to know if it exsists.

Did he know he was going to be crucified? If he did, and he did nothing to escape being crucified, that makes him a suicide. Suicide is sinful. So Jesus is in hell for the sin of suicide, no?

My own experiences have led me to believe that there is a consciousness that exists beyond this physical life. If you've had an "out of body" or "near death" experience and are willing to share, please do so here.

then wouldn't Judism be the one true faith? It's been around longer then Christianity. It's still here as a matter of fact. Perhaps its the one true faith after all because Christianity hasn't overshadowed it in any way.
Or Sumarian paganism. Sure it was stomped out for a while, but its make a pretty strong comeback. Perhaps the Gods just needed some recoup time but they are back stronger then ever.
I am partian to the Egyptian Gods myself and we have a lot of documentation at our fingertips. Our gods never left, as a matter of fact our holy texts were collected by Christians. It's been aroudn longer, so does that make it the one true faith?

Time spent on this earth with humans doesn't make any one faith true.Christianity is a BABY compared to other faiths. Find a new arguement.

Is the Christian church representative of his intentions and teachings?

Do you think Jesus would have said or done anything differently as described in the New Testament, knowing back then how humans would interpret the scriptures over the next 2000 years?

What do you think he might want to go back and change or clarify a bit?

... come here to this section and ROT us with their filthy stench, does this piss anyone else off?

It PISSES me off.

What should we do about it?
Any suggestions?

AND they claim to be "children" of God, WHEN they pass insulting statements about someone elses parents or swear like a machine or something like that... I mean WOW how absolutely HOLY and Christlike is that?

AAAAND when they are proved wrong and have no arguement on their side ... they STILL continue pretending to wash and cleanse our "poor evil" souls.

I say, if you find us disgusting. Please leave and go rant to your straight colleagues or go to "I'm mentally unstable" section.

Thank you.
