As an atheist i find it hard to let go of those traditions. I don't really see them as a holy holiday but a celebration of life and family. Do you feel the same way or do you think i shouldn't be "allowed" to do that?

I am in intercessory prayer and there are times where I just had to pray for myself. My question is what are good godly things to pray for for to insure your walk with the Lord is growing and steady? How have you made the Lord the center of your life?

So, I received a message from a user earlier, and couldn't believe how moronic it was. I have included it below. So, the question is, do you think america is as dumb as the guy that sent this to me, or do we still have hope?
Teachers unions are controled by the left, contribute their political dollars to the left, and openly promote a leftist agenda. To wite, multiculturalism, moral equivalency(promote the similarities of oppresive and representitive governments)School district administrators promote programs that seperate children from their parents in order to better indoctrinate them in leftist propaganda, school provided birth control without parental notification as an example. Leftist teachers openly promote leftist policy with unchallanged comments, (The US was made on the backs of slaves, Corporations polute the earth, global warming is caused by man, evolution is a fact) and all such other nonesense.

Considering that her Heavenly Spouse is the Holy Spirit, and that through her intercession many miracles have been wrought, do you not consider your stance to be one that the Pharisees took toward the miracles that Jesus wrought? Attributing to Satan the works of God is an unforgivable sin. Through her, great things were, are and will be done. It is God who does these things.

I have just observed that people nowadays easily give comments and based their opinions on the Good/ Bad Acts of the members rather than learning the principles on which it lays it's foundation. With this scenario, are we unfairly prejudging?

Here's one I recently saw:
"How does Satan SPECIFICALLY tempt us? You could say he tempts us with drugs and porn, etc. But how specifically does he tempt us? You could say he uses another person, but how is that person tempted? Ultimately, it would have to have come from either Satan or one of his demons."
"So, does Satan TELEPATHICALLY communicate with us? Can he telepathically put thoughts in our heads to suggest us to do stuff?"
Here is my rebuttal:
If God is all powerful, then he can do whatever he wants, right? Satan is a fallen angel. God created him with special powers that humans cannot posses. To say that it would be impossible for Satan to have telepathic powers would be to say that it would be impossible for God to create a being with telepathic powers.
All this atheist argument is doing is phrasing the facts in a bad way.
Your thoughts?

There are literally BILLIONS and BILLIONS of stars in our universe. The odds of life in at least SOME galaxies is extremely high. Plus, if God has been around since the beginning of time. Who's to say we were the FIRST intelligent life he EVER created?
There probably are aliens on other planets. If so, do have they accepted Jesus as their savior?
Some people say that aliens may have never committed original sin so it wasn't necessary for them, but the odds of earth being the ONLY planet in the HISTORY of TIME to commit original sin is small.
So, do aliens know about Jesus?

im not bashing the bible but instead thinking its designed to test us. if you want to do something, and you find several verses oposed to it, and several in favor of it, maybe god wants to see what decision you will make? would you just find the verse that favors what you want and run with it or go the other way?? do you think the bible is set up to test us by purposly contradicting itself?

TO ALL MY WONDERFUL WOMEN OUT THERE! HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!
One Flaw In Women
By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."
But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak,"
the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."
And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness,
love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
PLEASE pass this along to all your women friends and relatives
to remind them just how amazing they are
