For those of you who are other religions or non-religious:
Does it offend you when you walk into a store somewhere and 'Merry Christmas' is displayed?

I celebrate the Christian holiday of CHRISTMAS and it does not offend me if I go in somewhere and it says 'Happy Kwanzaa' or 'Happy Hannukah'.

Do you think the ACLU and other secular progressives are going too far with the banning of the word 'CHRISTMAS'?

I DO.

I heard a lot about this debate a while ago... about people wanting creationism taught in science class as an alternative to evolution.

To me this doesn't make sense. Would children not simply go to a religious school? Also religious people do not think creationism is science, so where is the argument that it should be taught in a science class?

Even if I were christian I would hold these views: science and religion are not the same and therefore should not be taught together.

I happen to believe the Bible was written in parables, stories to teach a moral story. But for anyone who reads the Bible literally, you must believe in the story of Noah and the Ark as it is written in Genesis. My question is, God created Adam and Eve and then destroyed the world with the only surviviors being Noah, his wife, their sons, and daughter-in-laws. Now this would make Noah and his wife my grandpappy and grandmammy thousands of times back. What's my grandmammy's thousands of times back name? Don't you think that the very seeds that carried on the entire human races name would be important enough to mention in the Bible?

Hey, I was wondering if the kids at Catholic schools are all proper, well-behaved virgins. Are they? I mean, since they have religion and they teach you to stay abstinent, do they?

I live in Indianapolis, IN. This week a 3 year old child was brutally abused and murdered by her mother and moms fiancee. She had been taken away from her mother twice already in her short 3 years. She had just been given back to her mother days before her murder.
A hanger was placed in her shirt and she was hung on a door and beaten with a belt until she died, only because she wet her pants.
What has got to be done to stop child abuse in the USA?
Is it the governments place to step in? The state?
Should CPS be held accountable or are they underfunded and understaffed?
Here is the story if you are interested:

There are other links posted with new developments also.

What are your opinions. Please only answer if you have given this great thought. Of course we would all like to throw them in jail for life or do more brutal activity to the offenders, but that isnt a realistic goal as of now. Please provide realistic answers.

When all is said and done, your "God" could be pure evil, he just won't admit it. The proof is all around him, but he denies the truth. When wrong is right and right is wrong, does anyone win?

Christians oppose many scientific views; like they believe that god created the earth while science has a theory that earth was created from the big bang. Also in some countries religion is incorporated in science classes so as to give a religious view of a topic. So with these type of differences would Christains believe in science?

Was Jesus the Father? No! Because Jesus said: “And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9).

even jesus never claimed divinity

For all we know God is nothing more and nothing less than nothing at all.

Allow me to define God: somebody who or something that seems to exist, but does not.

By the way, the atheist was created when your so-called "God" decided to play hide & go seek.

Prove me wrong and you'll be proving me right.

Nowadays, there are hardcore atheists that are angered at the simple notion that god may exist. Many of them even seek to validate their extremist views by preaching atheism to others. They're in one corner.

In the other corner, you have genuine religious fanatics that reminisce about the Dark Ages, or about ancient times. They become angry and even violent with those that believe in something even slightly different than themselves.

Does the true God lie somewhere in between these extremes? My view is that God does not care about religion, but is instead focused on how we live our lives.

What are your views on this subject?

Everyone is born with Natural rights (John Lock) and women had these taken away in the past then fought to be respected on equal terms like they should have been in the first place means that to be respected in intellect and the right to vote and own property and etc that we need to be drafted just like men?

We did fight, We faught for our rights that we were supposed too have in the first place.

Just because women ask to have an equal education and voting rights doesn't mean they are scientifically as able to fight as men. To force women to go to war because we said we want to be able to vote, hold job, and have equal educational opportunity to then say "well if you want natural rights that you are born with fight for them."

They were in no hurry to write or finish it because it took 4000 years to do so. Prophets revealed the Lord's will to mankind and wrote down their words, teachings, and prophecies. Eventually someone got around to putting all of these writings together.

So if God called another prophet and he did the same, shouldn't those writings be considered scripture and be treated with the same respect as the bible?

....Please don't quote Revelations 22:18. Moses said the same thing in Deuteronomy 4:2.

Please don't say that God can't or won't call another prophet...he's God. He can do what he wants. Besides, there's prophecy that two prophets will come and be killed before his return to Jerusalem.

Secondly, how would we collectively as Christians recognize this prophet and recognize the writings as scripture?

Would most of us be too prideful or arrogant to recognize a modern day prophet? The Jews didn't recognize their Messiah....what makes us think we would be any different?
