For school I need to interview someone who is older than 70. I have no relatives that are, so I must now choose from someone else, preferably from my church. I know just the man I want to interview, but how will I explain to him why I chose to interview him of all people, even though I don't know him all that well?

Santa Claus is NOT pagan. Saint Nicholas of Myra was a 4th century Catholic (i.e. Christian) bishop of Myra in Lycia, a province of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey. Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor, in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with dowries so that they would not have to become prostitutes. He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianity. In Europe (more precisely the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Germany) he is still portrayed as a bearded bishop in canonical robes. Long after his death, the relics of St. Nicholas were transported to Bari in southern Italy by some enterprising Italian merchants. St Nicholas is alive in heaven, as are all who die in God's friendship. I believe in "Santa Claus", because he is real. He lives in heaven, as do all who have died in God's friendship.

For Christians: If you will go to hell if you don' t accept Jesus as your personal savior, are the people who lived and died before Jesus was born...in hell? When did hell start? Before the 10 commandments? Because that seems a little unfair. Thank you.

(he meant dualing WITH Christianity)
He went on to say "you can't prove God doesn't exist, any more than I can prove God does exist"

Do you agree with him?

Christians in particular are prosecuted for their believes, why? Do they not trace their roots all the way back to Abraham by the Jewish faith? Why is it such a 'sin' to believe in God? Is it as simple as that most who think anything but what they believe is therefor wrong, or does it go deeper? Could it be because of the awful way the Christians are protrayed?

Please give an intelligent anwer that proves you put more thought into it then, because there is no God.

I am a 20 year old male student wanting to use his talents for God's glory. On the other hand, I find it very difficult talking to people, and am really not confident I can talk to people about deep issues without messing up completely. Since God allowed me to have this condition, he must have some use for it.

I mean, he never said to eat the fruit. He never said they should eat the fruit. In fact, when Even said they could not eat it because they would die, the snake pointed out (correctly) that they would not die, and also that they would become as God, knowing good and evil (also correctly). God even confirmed this, saying "Now that man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil..." Everybody says the snake tempted Eve, but I don't see it. Show me the exact verse when the snake tempted Eve.

Do you know the truth around you and that those corparate beasts in suits are brainwashing you by your own ignorance?

They hunt down and then exterminate the truth.
They keep it away from you constanly talking about terrorsim in the media.

People turn a blind eye until it's right in your face.
If they told you the truth citzens will go out in chaos because its the words they cannot bear.
When in TRUTH, it's just something you truely don't want to hear.


Best answer goes who can figure this out.

And to add to the wonder of it, the greatest philosopher in the world today is also a theist (Alvin Platinga). What is the reason for this seemingly positive relationship between the greatest minds and God?
