Do you believe that a gas station attendant's son deserves the same health care coverage as the son of an investment banker? Be honest :)

chistian god is saying that if you dont believe in me and worship me , im going to thow you in a lake of fire and you'll be dead. then he says im so good becos iv created you so you can chose this choice. so is that a choice or is it forceing. how about giveing us a choice like you can worship me and go to heaven or you dont have to and you can still go to heaven. he could do that cuz his almighty, if you say he cant than your denying his almightyness. and that way when you do worship him, you'd be doing it out of love not fear.

Christmas is right around the corner and I'm really torn on this issue. Santa has become so commericialized and has started to be used as a way to replace alot of the real reasons behind why we celebrate Christmas.

I'm starting to see kids seeing Christmas as the "season of what can I get" rather than the season of giving. My daughter will just be shy of 2 this Christmas and I don't know if we should tell her about Santa.

On one hand I don't want her to grow up and think that I lied to her. And I really want to focus on this being about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

On the other hand I don't want her to feel like she got cheated out fo the excitement and imagination of believing in Santa. Also its such a big thing with many families and I don't want her to be the one kid who spoils it for her classmates down the line.

I just can't seem to decide which way to go on this one..........

Ever think. I've had enough! Enough!

Well, just remember, "the story has not ended yet". There is still a lot more to come, and that is the good part.

Keep on hoping, keep on believing, keep on loving, and most of all. Keep your peace. Have a good day, or night.

I stay home most of the time or I go to school (I have to of course), but it seems like a lot of people my age go out to parties and date and have big social lives or something. I've been to a couple sleepovers/birthday parties, but I never go to big dance parties where you get drunk and I've never slow danced with, kissed, gone out with, etc. guys. Am I weird? Sometimes I feel like I should be going out and stuff more, but at the same time I think it's dumb...because it seems like people are trying to have social lives to try and be normal teens. So...your opinions?

If the going gets rough for you, who do you turn to? Christians turn to God but I was wondering who is always there for you to help you when you need help.

In 2 timoty 3:16, the Bible claims to be inspired, but so do the Qu'ran, the Book of Mormon and the Vedas. So do we know it is and the others aren't?

Why are you working for free? Do you realize by working for free for Yahoo!, you are essentially helping make Yahoo! a more profitable company. In turn, that means that the stock goes up (ok ok, this is an oxy moron) and the RICH get RICHER. Meanwhile, poor peon's like us are doing hard work FOR FREE.

What gives? Would you all work for Microsoft for free too? Maybe you could polish Bill Gates shoes for free? No reason to delete this as it's a serious legitimate question. I just recently saw the announcement on the front page and I am curious, as a strong member of a strong union why anyone would work for free?

I personally do not believe this for a bit, being that I'm an Atheist that was raised in a secular home and was only introduced to religion at a Christian school.
Before enrolling I didn't really believe in a higher power at all.
What do you think? Is it something naturally in man that makes him want to believe or seek God?
A man on TBN made this statement tonight by the way. I can't take credit for it.

Why you keep Lord Jesus in the cross? I thought you believe the Holy Words from God?
Rom 4:25 Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification.

As most of your symbolic cross has a man still on it crucified?

Does it mean you don't believe: That God raised Lord Jesus for us to be justified, Romans 4:25? What kind of Christ you believe? Do you believe the same Lord Jesus in the Holy Words of God? If so, why not focus on, Him, in His teaching and trust God even Lord Jesus? Not making other traditions, doctrines that are not biblically proven? Open your eyes to the truth, do not be decieved by just following your leaders. Read, study, search, find the truth, Mat 6:33; Mat 7:7; John 5:39; 2Timothy 2:15; 2Timothy 3:16.

And not ignorantly worshiping the the One and Only True Living God, Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.

Now, do not get mad just be glad somebody is telling you the truth of God! Amen.

I would like to apologize to the Mormons in this forum for what has happened to Warren Jeffs. It's non-Mormons like us that have made such a big deal about getting their prophet in jail.

Sorry Mormons, it's ignorance and intolerance of other religions that have landed your prophet in jail.

I'm so open minded that I even keep a Book of Mormon on my bookshelf. Maybe we can all learn from Jeffs and the Mormon church. We have mocked Prophet Jeffs yet he has kept calm and reserved.

My friend's brother is a priest. He is commonly invited to people's houses to "bless their house." HOWEVER, he had visited this one house to speak to the family. When he came home, he told his sister how horribly decorated it was, and that she had to go with him when he went back to bless it, so she could see how tacky it was. So she did, they told the family that they were going somewhere together so that's why she was there. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? These poor people thought he was there being kind, yet he was there to make fun of their house. I'm just so upset by this? How am I supposed to keep the faith when things like this happen?

If a person commits suicide, does God automatically condemn that person to eternal suffering? Does He even care about such things? If so, why does He? Are we really that important?

I always here about how kids raised by gay parents will be "confused" or "messed up."
Well, I find that hard to believe. A child adopted by gay parents who want a child more than anything would be much better off than a child raised by, say, a teenage mom who used her pregnancy to guilt her boyfriend into marrying her, causing resentment.
These days, we have way too few of the former, loving families who want children, and way too many of the latter, abusive families who hurt children. The fact is that so many children are living in abusive homes or stagnating in the adoption system because there just aren't enough eligible straight couples to adopt them all. Why not allow gay couples to adopt? They wouldn't be able to give every kid a home, but they'd help. And we need more loving families. The stuff about how they might molest the kid is bs. Most pedophiles are straight men. And if a child is in an open environment from the beginning, they won't grow up "confused."
