Okay, the story is based off of a Christmas song, Nestor the long-eared Christmas donkey. The character is mainly like a first Christmas Rudolf with his friends making fun of him and stuff.
Mary and Joseph pick him to take them to Bethlehem. My story is mainly an adventure/Christmas story. What are some things I can add in (Character ideas, places events)? I kind of want it to have the classic feel of Rankin/Bass specials (Note: This was in fact a Rankin/Bass special) So my questions for the public are:

1:Should I stick with the original Rankin/Bass storyline? and

2: What are some events/characters/ect. I can add in?

My boyfriend says "turn the air conditioner down" when he wants the temperature decreased, but I say "turn the air conditioner up" when I want the temperature lowered. What do you think is the correct term?

If Atheists have more faith, then it should take more to change their beliefs than it would for Believer [sic].

So, Atheist or Believer, what would it take to change your mind?

(Note: the failure to use the plural of 'Believer' was intentional to counterbalance the folks who can't remember the plural of 'Atheist' has a second 's'.)

Is it possible that this concept is not the correct one at all?
That eating from the forbidden tree actually lifted mankind above the plane of 'animals' and mankind became a, well, human being at that point?

The idea is a shopping-mall structure in which each major (and many minor religions) have a facility,whether informational or for worship or both. You could just shop around,pick up a little of this,a little of that and come home with your own customized religion. Opinions? After all,this is the 21st century!

This happens to me a lot, though I've never shop-lifted in my life. Maybe I just look dodgy??? I'd be interested to know if there are many people for whom it has never happened.

Incidentally it's pretty funny when it happens, it's like a game of peek-a-boo as they appear from round the aisle.

What would you do if there was a virus outbreak that turns people into zombie but you didn't turn into one of them (I know that this won't happen but let's assume)? Where would you go, what supplies would you get, etc.

Its called the "Second Coming" foundation of true believers.

Beliefs: We believe that Jesus Christ 2nd coming will be on Dec 12, 2012. We believe that ancient mayans calender prophecizes Jesus return. The coming of the New World Order. Biblical proof can be found in the trinity and numerology of this day.
Father, Sun and the Holy spirit.
Jesus had 12 disciples and it is the 12th day of the 12th month. Clearly evidence of Christs return.

Your job as a member is to spread the good word of our Savior Jesus Christ return. And to give up all your earthly possesions to the church by this day, so that "We" may return to heaven as we enterned the earth. Naked, Humble, pure, and full of Gods love. Giving up your earthly possessions to the i"Second Coming" foundation of true believers is symbolic of you leaving the secular world behind to be re-united with our lord and savior. Amen!

Hallaehuaa! Jesus Christ 2nd coming is near. Spread the good word! Ensure your salvation become a

Presumably those that care about such things want people to get married in order to have a family, raise kids or even have sex. So why has our culture made the price of admission to marriage (i.e. weddings) so high? And do you think that there's anything immoral or unjust about that?

Explain your culture, (religion. Whatever.) And what is commonly eaten. You may even want to include links for recipes on how to make the dish you talked about!

I heard, i think this was told to me by my ninth grade English teacher, that some schools are implementing a sort of midway between "there is no god" and "there is one", and basically what it is, is there is a "supernatural being" who created the earth, and then let evolution do it's job? This is what i basically believe in now, so... does anyone else agree or has heard about this? Heh, i call it "Emperorism" since i play alot of Dawn of War, xD. (you'll get what i mean by Emperorism if you play/know the lore of DoW. Not meaning to sterotype here though or anything.)
