When you say that you don't believe in a god, do you think that you still have to have an image or paradigm of that god in order to disbelieve it's existence? Can you "decribe" what it is that you don't believe in? Just wondered, I'd be interested to hear your honest opinions on this. I am neither atheist nor non-atheist. Hoping for some interesting answers.

Although there were forty historians during the time when Jesus was supposed to have existed, only three mention Christians, but not Jesus himself!

One of those historians, Eusebius, even admitted to forging and making up references to jesus in the historical record!

http://www.mountainman.com.au/essenes/author_Origen.htm

The works of Tacitus are also under scrutiny as being forgeries.

Since there is no historic reference to Jesus, what is keeping people believing?

Also, there are no Roman records for the existence of Jesus either. The ones christians use are posthumous and only show that there was a story made up about a Jesus - with no first hand accounts whatsoever, only tales of first-hand accounts!

exchange gifts during that evening or do you leave that for Christmas day (if you celebrate both)?

This will be our first Yule celebration and since we have young children as well I was wondering if that is something pretty common to do or not.

I like the idea of giving a gift to my young boys, like a homemade snowflake ornament or something along those lines.
I havent seen anything yet to say if some do it this way or not so I thought Id ask and get some ideas and opinions.

TIA!!!!!

P.S. Please refrain from bashing...to each his own.

God puts us here for a set amount of time, say between 1 sec and 120 yrs depending on how lucky you are (or unlucky depending on your point of view).

This amount of time compared to the promised eternal life is insignificant. Does this mean our time here is insignificant. Is life nothing more than a short interview to get into heaven?

Why is that God decides the outcome of this interview in seconds for one person and years for another?

Did he decide the fate of infants based on their C.V or is he just all knowing and therefor knew that they were worthy of Heaven/Hell?

If he is all knowing then why bother with life at all, why not just ship us off to our predetermined destination?

Also, if he sent everyone to heaven straight away while their souls are still without sin, then surely being brought up in heaven without all the worldly evils would ensure their purity.

So, why does God bother with this life?

i have a friend who i really want to be godfather as he's helped me so much with my daughter ever since she was born and is pretty much her father!! he's not been christened himself though. i've asked at the church if this would be a problem and apparently its against the law. but my godmother wasnt christened, a friend of mine is a godfather and hasnt been christened so does anyone know where i can find something that states its NOT illegal to have a unchristened person as godparent? or indeed if it actually is!?!

she went home and told her mom... her mom e mailed my mom and said im not allowed to see the girl again, and went on about morals.
