Society & Culture - 12 November 2007

Why was it picked by the Church to celebrate Christ's birthday on? As others have said, the rituals we Christians partake in on Christmas such as Christmas trees, yule logs, gift giving etc. came from pagan origins. Why was that same day picked to celebrate Christ's birth? Shouldn't they at least have picked another day?

¿Y tú?

Name 5 things that atheists can do that Christians can't. Your honesty will reveal your true nature (and mindset). Thank you!

P.S. I can think of one...
atheists can answer a question about evolution honestly and truthfully

Hello Friends! I pray that you are all doing well today.
I hate to tell you this, but no one gives God all that He deserves.
We do not give God even half of what He deserves and yet,
He gives us so much more than what we deserve.
It started with His Son and He has been heaping blessings on us ever since.
All God wants is our heart,
and we give it to Him,
and so many times take it back,
and place it somewhere else.
But, still God continues to give and give.
I have experienced this first hand.
Let's take a moment to pray and thank Him this morning
for giving us more than we deserve.
He deserves that, doesn't He?
You are taking the time to ask and answer questions,
so you must have the time to thank our Creator.



I hope you have been blessed this morning. Not by me, but by God. I love you all, Cat

I dont hate these people because of their professing they do not believe in God but i've always wondered how do they plan to face death when it is at their door stepts.Do they want a funeral service with flowers & speeches about their life or just throw them in the furnace & just burn them up & throw their ashes away?Why do they not believe in God?

I am unique just like everyone else. What makes me unique is I can touch the top of my hands with my fingers. They just fold back. My toes do the same thing. Double jointed they call it. What makes you unique.

We joined the Navy to see the world
And what did we see?
We saw the sea
We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic
But the Atlantic isn't romantic
And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be

We joined the Navy to do or die
But we didn't do and we didn't die
We were much too busy looking at the ocean and the sky
And what did we see?
We saw the sea
We saw the Atlantic and the Pacific
But the Pacific isn't terrific
And the Atlantic isn't what it's cracked up to be

They tell us that the Admiral
Is as nice as he can be
But we never see the Admiral
Because the Admiral has never been to sea

We joined the Navy to see the girls
And what did we see?
We saw the sea
Instead of a girl or two in a taxi
We were compelled to look at the Black Sea
Seeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be

Sailing, sailing home again
To see the girls upon the village green
Then across the foam again
To see the other seas we haven't seen

We owe the Navy an awful lot
For they taught us how to do the Sailor's Hornpipe
And they showed us how to tie a sailor's knot
But more than that, they showed us the sea
We never get seasick sailing the ocean
We don't object to feeling the motion
We're never seasick but we are awful sick of sea

Site the name and year(s) of the war, the cause of the war and why you think religion played no part in the war.

It would be helpful if you would site the source of your information so we can grasp understanding of your POV.

I've never participated in office politics at any of my previous jobs. I just work hard and stayed professional. However, since being in the workforce I've noticed a lot of people who do participate in office politics receive promotions and raises. While, the hard working and dedicated co workers are over looked.
