We have "we care spas" which is funny to name them that, being that most places only care about your money, people spending thousands to look trendy, be like celebrities, etc etc, we've created a self centered society where it's all about me me me, and my own success, not to mention competition.

Everyting nowadays is pointless and meaningless, at least society wise. It's reduced down to kindergarten. People care about their age, looks, fitness, and that seems to be the most important thing.

I mean I'm all for feeling good about yourself, but was there ever really a need for about 5 million fragrances, outlet stores, and all these things, which are being created, wasting resources, and making workers around the world do slave labor to create garments which will most likely end up on the clearance rack to be destroyed anyways? lol.

Cars, cell phones, computers, are being mass produced, mostly to get discarded anyways, simply to please fickle people and trends.

Christian bashing is intolerence in it's ugliest form. If you Christian bashers would free your minds of what have become something worse than stereotypes, you might begin to enjoy the prescence of God in your lives and not be so irritated like spoiled brats who don't get their way. Christianity isn't about being perfect, it's about The Son of God, Jesus Christ! What you do with Him determines your destiny...Heaven or Hell!

Because if it is, it's one that every human being (and not too few animals) indulge in.
Remember, there are only two kinds of people; those that masturbate, and those that lie about not masturbating.

Oh and before I forget, can any of you theists give me an Empirical definition of the word "sin" please? Thanks.

Why hasn't any of Christs direct descendants revealed themselves to the world?
And why aren't you Christians try to find them so you can prove that Christ was the messiah

Truly, the LORD would be ashamed of the vileness and tempting which is rampant in this heathen place! How wretched and sad are we poor sinners, to worship and adore our Vile Temptresses.

How can we ever find our way back to the TRUE path?

According to what I was taught, premarital sex was against the law of God because it was possible to get pregnant out of wedlock.
When condoms were invented and pregnancy out of wedlock was no longer a large concern, the Church said that premarital sex with condoms was still against the law of God because having a barrier degraded the act of intercourse.
When birth control was invented and having a physical barrier was no longer necessary to preventing pregnancy outside of wedlock, the Church said that premarital sex with birth control was still against the law of God because each act of intercourse had to be open to the chance of creating life.
So... this meant that married but infertile couples couldn't have sex? That married women past menopause couldn't have sex with their husbands?
if a couple is purposefully having sex on a night where the woman is not ovulating, isn't that the same as having sex that is not open to creating life?
It's all warped if you ask me.

Matthew 19:21
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven... Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Do you unexpectedly reap reward from it? I always put myself in a lower position than others (we are talking at the Cat's bowl here!!!) only to be stepped on or ignored !!!! I'm not seeking reward but not being kicked in the teeth once in a while would be good!!!

I heard a woman say that all ghosts are really demons who are using the bodies of the deceased to deceive us. Is this a common Christian belief? If so, can you please tell me the Bible passage where this is discussed. Thank you.

My mom always told us that santa clause was just away for satan to still glory from God because kids would praise him more than God himself. she says most kids find out about santa before God and that is wrong for their parent to do that. she says she buys us gifts only because she wants to and she can because God has blessed us so that she can not because some man in a suit allowed it. but now im 24 and with kids of my own and feel the same way and it makes me angry that schools talk about it. so do you thinks santa is right or wrong
