...and my guess is, in some of our very own lifetimes, what do you think should happen to all the Christians (uhhh that are left, that is)?

Also where in the Bible does it say that we are not supposed to mix our celebrations with those of another religion? I can't remember but I know it's in there...

I am Christian and I know in the Bible it says that God doesn't want you mixing Pagan/other religions Holidays with Christian Holiday or making them into Christian holidays. Which Holidays are originally pagan or from another religion so that I can rethink things. I want to follow the Lord in everything and I don't want to do things that are displeasing to Him.

It seems our generation (boomers) stayed innocent longer because we had limited information at our disposal. Nothing like today with Internet, and 24-hour news TV and radio news etc. Everything is going so fast. Many adult topics today were never discussed when we were kids

Tatting is so much fun, you can take a hand shuttle full of thread with you to your doctors office and get quite a lot done.
I am asking the men too, because men sometimes like to have something to do. My Grandfather, was 6'4" and he could embroider beautifully. This is almost a lost art.

Other religions? Other philosophies? Science? Different systems of belief than the one to which you adhere ~ with an open mind?

If not, then how do you know that your practice is right for you?

I ask for logical answers that others can relate to outside your system of belief.

This is in no way meant to challenge anyone's belief(s) and I hope others will refrain from challenging others as well. I just want to have an open discussion and learn from those willing to throw down something logical or otherwise thought provoking.

I would like to study Islam and concentrate on the role of women in Islam. Are there any Islamic colleges in America besides Cordoba University? I would like to study there, but they were raided by the FBI a few years back.

Also, I wouldn't mind going to other countries, but keep in mind that I am a woman (regarding Middle Eastern countries). I really really want to study Islam, but I haven't found the right school and program and I will graduate next year.

Thanks your help!

P.S. I have done my own research, but I would like to hear other people's recommendations.

Should a persons religious belief hold more of an influence over them than their family?

For example...should a parent disown their children because they won't convert to that parents chosen religion?

Should a parent disown their children because they lead a lifestyle which the parents religious beliefs dictate is wrong?

Should one spouse dictate which religious beliefs the other spouse is to follow?

All of these scenarios are valid examples (which I've heard have actually happened. One I know of personally happening...) of a person allowing their religious beliefs to be held to a higher degree than their own family.

Is this right? Is there any religious practice that dictates THAT religion should be held to a higher degree than an individuals family? Should that particular religious practice be taken seriously in the event it does dictate such a thing???

What're your thoughts???

I'm having a rough day and need to unwind. Any suggestions as to what I should imbibe? Nothing too fruity, though. I think I need some hard liquor for a day like this.

Every time we have another couple over for dinner (or even just a glass of wine and chat), they always write to my husband to say "thanks", but not to me. Sometimes, they don't even mention me.
Do you think this is rude? Last weekend, we had a couple over to dinner -- I bought a rather expensive bottle of wine and some specialty items for appetizers (with my own funds); cleaned the house, etc. When the "thank you" note came, they praised HIS cooking and HIS "exquisite taste in wine" and hosting skills, as if I wasn't there at all!
Do you think people just assume that the male half does all of the work and the purchasing and cleaning, or am I missing something, or are these people just clueless?

If you believe in no Heaven (which I too have a hard time believing) what do you think "After Death" is like? Obviously you can't remember pre-life but would it be somewhat like that?
