How are you celebrating this most magical time in our lives as the light and shadow dances in the cosmos, and connects with the truth of who we realy are?

Religious folks seem to think that this Satan character is responsible for a lot of badness, but why would he bother? What good is a human soul to him anyway? I'd like to know what makes him get out of bed in the morning.

I'm Christian myself.
Last year, I had received an e-mail from one of my Jewish friends , who asked me to send a request,along with Jewish people, to White House to support a war against Iraq.My friend had stated that Muslims in America were voting at twice as rat as Jews. I was supposed to write an e-mail aginst the troops withdrawal and something to support this war.
After that, I've understood that this war is,really,not for oil (we could invade Kuwait-they have more oil than Iraq, or against Saddam (from 1970s-1990's he was our big ally,and we our government supported him with weapons and money ), this war is for Israel.

Are Christians so afraid of taking responsibility for their own lives and their own wrong doing that they must create a fictional demonic creature to pin the blame on? I think I've answered my own question, actually. There are few religions that outsource responsibility to the degree that Christianity does. Can anyone tell me, without quoting the Bible (because, frankly, it gets old), why the devil must be used to usurp all individual reasoning? Why don't you all ditch the idea of an evil grandmaster and suck it up and admit that the devil didn't make you do it, you chose to do it because at that particular moment the idea of either heaven or hell had no affect on your decision-making abilities? Why shove it off on poor old Satan? What'd he ever do to you? Once again, try to think for yourself. Biblical verses won't really drive the point home. Sunny anecdotes, perhaps...

I'm pretty sure Jesus would veto his 'turn the other cheek' policy in favour of smacking this idiot in the face for completely misrepresenting every single value he ever stood for

Despite many of you being confused of what a theory (an idea corroborated by a lot of evidence) is, would you agree that the idea of a creator/god is even less than a theory, not having any evidence? Why do you think something having no evidence should be taught along side something with much evidence? I would say that even acknowledging the creation argument is an impediment to scientific progress and education; what say you?

Since my wife has kids with husband one, we have a lot of family gatherings where we are all together. Her ex and I don't have a problem with each other, but I feel disrespectful call his mom by her first name when everyone else is calling her mom, and I feel like a little kid when I call her Mrs. Whatever.

What would you recommend?

In fact the scientists around the world have found a few, 1st Lucy she is 3.5 million years old, (COUNT THAT people who think the earth is 6000 yrs old) she's only about 3.5 ft tall, but get this she has thighs and hips that PROOVE she walked upright. 2nd Erectus, he was a runner and ran out of Africa and went far and wide, scientists have PROOF he made and used complicated tools, and MIGHT have tamed fire. 3rd theres Goliath named after that fictional charactor, he was big and built structure's, it might have been the first church, but they haven't found any scrolls, you know that whole paper thing. The real freaky thing is that there were others at the same time, but different species like Neandethal, Flatface, Nutcracker named so, do to his huge jaws. It seems Lucy had competition to. It just goes to show life is always competing, In SO many ways. Oh YAH I almost forgot google the Hobbit, I would tell you about it but I don't want to spoil for you people that read this. Isn't thisGR

What about your holy book? It too is your idol. "Have no other Gods before me!" Yet, don't many of you worship these things? Don't Catholics even make the virgin mary a God. How can you convince anyone that you have found the way when you disobey your own God? What say you?

The moral decay of American is due to the fact that too many Christian preachers have become so politically correct that they nolonger preach the Word of God. See Judges Chap. 17, 18 & 19.

But why do some seem to think that Judaism sprang to life fully formed? Jews trace their ancestry to the biblical patriarch Abraham. Abraham and his family were originally from the city of Ur (now known as Tell Muqqayyar in southern Iraq), which was an ancient city in Sumeria.

Sumer was the earliest known civilization of the ancient Near East, located in lower Mesopotamia (modern Iraq). The Mesopotamian religion was the first to be recorded.

Mesopotamians believed that the world was a flat disc, surrounded by a huge, holed space, and above that, heaven. They also believed that water was everywhere, the top, bottom and sides, and that the universe was born from this enormous sea.

Sound familiar? God moved over the face of the what? There are many other 'borrowed elements'. There are no good records from before that (need to invent writing and all), but how much would you wager this goes all the way back to the first sun- and moon worship in an unbroken chain of mutating gods?
