I was recently told that one bit of evidence for the reality of original sin was that children never have to be taught to lie or to be cruel to their classmates, that it seems to simply come naturally to them.

Even though I don't buy into this, it did make me wonder about children's motivations. Obviously, at some point we all LEARN that we can tell a lie and avoid punishment. However, I was wondering if anyone had actually done any studies, or can remember from personal experience, why kids make fun of each other, call names, etc?

As we get older and become adults, it probably stems from insecurity, but does insecurity begin that early? Any thoughts/ideas welcome.

I want to get my uncle/godfather something for Christmas, but I don't have a lot of money to spend. I don't want to only get him a card, and I think that money would be lame, seeing as I don't have a lot to spare. Any suggestions?

Do you know any step-siblings who married? I was acquainted with one couple (much older) who are step-siblings who are married. Each was married previously to another person for at least 10 years and has children from their first marriage (they don't have children together). I don't know them well, but they seem pretty happy together. Any stories?

PS #2: No, I don't have any step-siblings.

Because they believe in God, and Jesus, they just don't worship them, they worship the Christian anit-god, Satan. I just want to know becuase I was trying to explain what wicca is to some of my Clue-less Christian friends.

I know how I feel, I want to work as long as I can. I need the stimulus and I don't want to stagnate. Is this wrong?

Let us suppose that a Pope suddenly decides to become Orthodox and to bring all the Catholics to Orthodoxy. With that outward change would even one of the millions of Catholics really become Orthodox? And even if they all had the best disposition to memorize and believe all the doctrines of Orthodoxy, they would not be able to take even one step towards her, because Orthodoxy is not only a system of doctrines or a series of customs, but something much deeper and substantial. It is a whole orientation of life and thought. Orthodoxy is a spirit, the spirit of Tradition, which cannot be acquired from books but is transmitted from the living to the living, from father to son, mother to daughter, brother to brother, friend to friend, priest to priest, monk to monk, from spiritual father to spiritual child, «not by means of ink and paper, but from mouth to mouth», from soul to soul. And all this within the life of the Holy Mysteries of the Church, within the atmosphere of the Holy Spirit, with the passing of time, little by little, with the slow development of an organism…
