Society & Culture - 25 November 2007

Since Christmas is widely celebrated by people as a non-religious holiday anyhow, perhaps it ought to be renamed to include the secular celebration of family, friends and culture, Kwanzaa.

I recommend we adopt a new word, "Kwistmas," since it has a rather fun sound to it. LOL

What are your ideas ?

I watched Yvonne Ridley's interview on YOUTUBE . In which she states she was married to an Muslim for about 4 years , had a daughter from him , But did not convert to islam......
Later on when she studied the Quran for about 30 months . She realised that it was form GOD.
And she reverted to ISLAM.


In the video of CAT STEVENSON ,,
He said that he read the chapter of JOSEPH and realised that the QURAN is not the word of man.

When he reverted to ISLAM he was at the peak of his career. He left it all when he realised the TRUTH.

Is the TRUTH so evident in the QURAN.
And if it is so evident ....... Why dont the people read it and acknowledge it to be from the ONE GOD who created everything and change their lives. Why people have to believe in the Religion they are born in.

Read it, assess it ,
To accept it or reject it is your decision.

I have about 20 people who are my friends, but not my best friends. Every year for the holidays I get a little something for all of them, usually the same thing but possibely in different colors or flavors. Last year I got giant candy canes, and the year before I got little lotions. I'd like each gift to be about $1 or $2.

Why are the British so selective about applying their rules of succession?

The current Prince of Wales's great uncle, HM Edward VIII was made to abdicate the throne because he wanted to marry a divorcee with two living ex husbands. The Prince of Wales married Camilla who is a divorcee with a living ex husband. Why isn't he made to give up his succession position?

Also, Camilla's former marriage was in the Roman Catholic church and she was and probably still is Roman Catholic. Why isn't anyone talking about him giving up his succession position?

Also, Charles has said he doesn't want to be defender of the faith. Why isn't anyone saying anything about this?

Thanks for your answers.

Do you argree or disagree with this statement...

"Let YOUR reasonableness become known to all"

Would you considers "reasonableness" a quality that would accurately describes you as a person? Explain.

Everyone who answers please be polite and decent. Atheist please don't put down the theists... and theists please do not put down the atheist... Yes, I am a theist.

This is a spiritual question; please put your personal beliefs aside, just for a moment, and honesty evaluate yourself.

So... i made a big sin... seriously...

I had a chat on messenger with a friend. He had a status about Satan: "power of satan is everywhere - im on his side". I thought is just a stupid joke ... he is used with that...
I made him change the status... but he didn't.

He says he is not joking... But I still didnt believed him... And I jokingly gaved him a satanic site where is all about Satan... rituals....

He made everything what is mentioned over there... NOW, he is a big satanist... He sayed that we are still friends and we dont have to talk about our religion.... I agree with that... But can God forgive me ?????? =(

alot of people do this, i guess. if someone gets you something and you dont like it do you give it away. or exchange it. or keep it, cause its the thought that counts. I personally dont agree with regifting.

How is it possible to have so many thousands of years of different religious paths and some of you think you hold the key to what is true? So everyone else who holds beliefs are wrong? This isn't just to Christians. All thoughts welcome.
