Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree, For me.
been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa baby, a 54 convertible too,
Light blue.
I'll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you'll check off my Christmas list,

I think I might be slowly losing my faith in Christ... I'm 16, and I've always been a believer of sorts, until now. I don't know... I don't want to lose my faith. Has anyone else felt the same way? I know this is bad, but for some reason faith doesn't seem important anymore, and I don't want to feel that way...
What should I do?
Thanks. =)

First of all, Satanism isn't screaming, "666! The devil ruelz! Yeah!!" It's saying, quite calmly: "Lucifer is a fallen angel working at the gates of Hell. We hope he may regain entry to Heaven after he has repaid his sins." So why is this so bad? BTW, Evolution = <3

Now, Christianity.
If you disrespect your elders, you go to Hell. If you steal, covet, commit adultery, etc... you go to HELL. You must pray. You must live sin-free. You must redeem yourself of your sins. Also, there is no such thing as Evolution, Science, or Magic. EVERYTHING is religion. God makes the sun shine! Because, of course, if the sun is science, I have to admit that evolution and science are REAL.

I'm sorry, Christianity / whatever that is just seems like a Brainwashing more than a Personal choice. I call Christianity "being Informationally Ignorant".


Your opinions? (No -flaming-!!)

I live on a reservation, and know a great many natives who agree that the system should be abolished. I for one wonder how many times must we pay for the sins of our fore fathers? and is'nt it in the constitution that there shall be no nation within a nation! The tribes use their soverinty when it suits them, Are'nt they also citizens, with the same rights and safeguards as the rest of us, I think we should take a long hard look at removeing the reservation system, or totally revamping it.

if so, is that the reason why there are so many different sects of Christianity bickering among themselves?

strange, I thought I read in their Bible that the Church should be ONE...

I think this is the ultimate question in religion....

how do some people who believe in one deity observe their "presence"

while people who believe in another deity observe their "presence"

If you went back to the time when the puritans landed on plymouth rock, with an ipod, or a cell phone (assuming you brought the infrastructure, too)... do you think they would percieve it as "scientific" or just call it a shiny witchcraft stone, and burn you at the stake, and destroy the "stone possesed by loud demons"

ultimately: Does your religion affect your perception of reality?

I saw the silliest show on Discovery the other day completely dedicated to the world ending on this day...

I can't wait till that day comes around and they realize that the earth's poles have in fact NOT shifted.....

or of course, there is the possibility that the world will end, in which case those certain individuals won't exactly be able to gloat since mankind will cease to exist....so its a win-win situation for me I guess

let the countdown begin......*exciting*

With the holiday gift giving around the corner I was wondering if any of you give clutter free gifts. I'd like to see ideas for different age groups and genders.

a garbage bag....

Since the chicken bones will stink if she leaves them in her house in the garbage, she puts them in the freezer until it is garbage day pick-up so that she can stuff the garbage bag full and maximize the use of her garbage bag.

Have you ever heard of anyone doing this?

What is the purpose of prayer? When someone prays for something, and it's not granted, then that person usually says "well, it's God's wishes" or "It's God's will" or "God has a purpose" .... seriously? If that's the case, then why pray to begin with? It God has a purpose or a will, then your prayer won't really matter anyways? God is infallible and all-knowing, so what's the point? Do people actually think that God, the all-knowing creator of the heavens and the universe, the alpha and omega, listens to us and his actions and future actions might be affected by our prayers or "wishes" ?

Really, I'm quite religious, but I can't bend my mind around prayer. Can someone intelligent provide a decent answer? Please, none of those "just because" answers or heavily argued interruptations from the Bible. Thanks!

they also believe the postal service is not a federal agency, men have fewer ribs than women do, Benjamin Franklin was a president of the United States... and that's only in the past two days.

Do you accept my apology?

Is it just as wrong when a person post a question, and is a known troll to report them as long as it was a question, maybe some of us might want to answer

Regardless if you believe in God, a Buddha or a gallon of milk. Religion is suppose to teach moral's, right from wrong, (There is good and bad, regardless) and with this you can make wholesome and right choices in life. Evil consumes itself. That is the point of it.

Muslim? Hindu Buddhist> etc...
For as long as I'm here I read so many posts from Atheists, not only saying GOD does not exsist , but how religion poisons everything, as well as GOD being wrathful, condemning etc...
Bible is a bunch of fairytales etc...

So what would it matter to you if GOD exsits or not?
How would your life change it you knew a GOD created the world?

I am applying for a job. I know the HR woman's name but I don't know whether she's married or not. I feel it is too casual to just write her first and last name without a title in front of it. What is the proper etiquette?

Just because religious folks find homosexuality uncomfortable doesn't make it wrong. Just because people misinterpret the Bible and the so-called words of God to their own ends, for their own conservative agendas, to make homosexuality seem anathema, doesn't make it wrong.

The "hardware" of the human body isn't important, what dwells within our mortal shell is far more so.

Love people for WHO they are, not what sexual orientation they happen to be. Who you are is more important than what gender you enjoy having sex with.

Hear the opinions of your fellow R&Sers or give your opinion?

*Would you rather ask or answer questions?*

Personally, I prefer to answer I'd just like to know what you would rather do?
