The company announced that they would remove the word Christmas from their promotion because they don't want to offend anyone. I like the word Christmas as it was used for over 2000 years. Because of that I would not buy from them this year. May be they should say...We remove the word Christmas to favor other customers and hope we make more money. Will be interested to see if they make more or less money. (Note: it seems to be stupid to say not to offend anyone when they are offending someone already)

I was shocked to find this guy and his church on the web. He and his church are very anti gay. Anyone else heard of this group?

My dad was a big fan of his books, I think he must have read them all. We were cleaning the garage, I asked him if he wanted us to give it away. He said, "No those will be worth money someday."

We had to give them away after he died. I'm just wondering if anyone else read any?

I was wondering how not to believe in a God or Deity, I was wondering can anyone reccomend any 400+ page books explaining to me how not to believe in a God, justifying this non-belief and defining Atheism for me?

Afterall it all seems such a hard concept to grasp.

As I was reviewing the following question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071105164722AA6vxIl&r=w#RcIrUjTtUjOT4XLwySjQmWPV4ZUPeyNeOE7FT25Ezr3o_QZ4JyKg

The message I got from the so-called question was akin to:

"Your religion is inferior and incomplete. My religion is better than yours, so there."

I felt as if my beliefs were being challenged, and I responded accordingly.

I noticed how benevolent the asker seemed ( at first ) with their "question". But when the asker was challenged with a clear FACT, they erupted into childish anger.

Immediately, I was reminded of something from the Bible which was quite clear, contrary to the asker's previous assertion:

Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false messengers, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."

Does it strange to you that people who come to you with such a peacful message would react with such anger when opposed? Could this be prophecy occurring before our very eyes on a daily basis?

1. Abortion is NOT the killing of a human being. When early abortion happens, it is deleting a bunch of cells. You do the same thing when you scratch your arm and kill skin cells.
2. Put it in perspective: if you were on your way to a good college and got raped, and became pregnant, it would demolish your entire life. No college. Less of a future. Just being at home with a baby you didn't want, working three jobs and getting loans from your parents.
3. Think about it: is it better for a bunch of cells to be aborted, or a born baby unwanted and unloved? Believe it or not, not many people immediately fall in love with whatever comes from their womb.
4. Face it: abortion will happen wherever the laws may take it. But it will happen in back alleys, with unsterilized coat hangers and inexperienced "doctors". Do you honestly imagine the fatality rate of embryos would be more than the fatality rate of women killed by improper abortions?

this is not much of a question- its an invitation to be on my Contacts. We are the body of Christ, and if I don't know you now, I'll know you in heaven. But I want to meet other Christians that I can talk to about Jesus, to help me overcome some of life's toughest circumstances. Please??!!

I think this is a fair and reasonable question for an educated, open minded Christian to ask.

Jesus taught us about so many things, but he made no clear statement about homosexuality.

He made many statements that at least speak to certain issues these days. For example, Jesus says nothing directly about capital punishment, but he does tell us to love and fogive. This, in my view, tells us somthing about the moral status of state sanctioned murder.

But when it comes to homosexuality, our Lord is silent. Why?

Let's face it, its a HUGE issue in the Church and in society at large. If it were something so important, and so wrong, then why didn't Jesus say anything about it?

Pethaps its because God does not obsess on sexual sins.

I wish we had Church every day. We have it every Sunday and I go every Sunday. But during those six days in between, it's so easy to drift away from the Lord. If we had it every day, singing hymns and praising Him, it would be very hard to drift away. You would fellowship a lot! What do you think?

Do you think it was right for men to change the rules/abolish old rules that were in the bible. Like limitations on women, stoning children, and all the other things that would, by todays standard, be cruel and unconstitutional?

“We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves. The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are.” -- Don Miguel Ruiz

“The maxim ‘Nothing but perfection’ may be spelled ‘Paralysis.’” -- Winston Churchill

“After enough mirror gazing, we all develop our ‘cosmic sense of humor.’ We no longer try to be perfect, or try to get all our work done in time. We become content with whatever life brings. Just to deal with what comes up without crucifying ourselves or others is enough of a challenge.” -- Paul Ferrini

“Good enough never is.” -- Debbi Fields
