Society & Culture - 3 December 2007

Okay, so we have freedom of religion. Then why are they banning prayer out loud in school, Christmas decorations in public places, any mention of religion in some places? Why do people get offended that some of us ARE Christians and we DO celebrate Christmas? I'm not offended when I see people with Hannukah decorations, or when people with different religions talk about them. This country was partially built on Christianity.
Can someone who is actually offended by any hints that there is Christian people out there EXPLAIN why you are this way?

It may be the wrong spelling as I heard it mentioned in two movies. Obviously I know what ham is but what makes "hickery" ham different?

Would you like the church and the government come together or seperate? Do you agree or disagree with Seperation of Church and State? Why?

I'm free to all opinions!

Shouldn't all of you just knock it off and pick someone to agree with?

I'm hearing this over and over in the news. It has a subtle (watered down from the books) anti-theist subtext. However when the "Chronicles of Narnia" movie came out, with it's not-so-subtle subtext, I didn't hear any Atheists whining about Christians trying to influence their children.

Why the outcry about one movie and not the other?

I have to write a paper for my english class featuring three example of women in arthurian legend. We read the stories Le Morte D'arthur and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and I feel a little lost. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

How does your faith in God help you cope with reality and the real world? Does God protect the faithful more than the faithless? Or does faith have anything to do with being fortunate or unfortunate in life?

I am doing this action community service project for my American Society class at school. The project is requiered in order to graduate.

Me and my partner want to donate items such as used clothes or glasses to places around the world that are in need of them. We need to know more items that we can donate as well as other places that are in need of donating to the poor. After we donate we have to give a speech with research on places in need to the class.

Any ideas on what else we can donate as well as other places that are in need of donating?

thanks.

what they beleive. That is what happened to the pagans when the christians came, the one thing that they couldn't change was their celebration of Samhain (halloween). What would you do if certain religious celebrations were outlawed and you were forced to celebrate new holidays

Are they afraid they might learn something from another viewpoint?

Stores typically will say "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings," as they take your money. I'm tired of everyone being politically correct.

Merry Christmas everyone!

"should" or "should" not have an impact on who actually wins the next election ? Shouldn't we continue to maintain a seperation of religion and state as far as the elections go ?

According to the Bible, Satan is the reason people turn away from God as they are decieved etc....when it talks about how in the endtimes almost everyone will turn away from God, does that mean that Satan is getting better at what he does? Or that we're getting weaker for no apparent reason? Or that God is getting weaker at keeping up our faith?

I'm an atheist, but I'm interested in how the religious folks explain it.

I have absolute faith in God that I believe is the Supreme Being, being the nucleus of the universe. But I have also observed that blind faith built in us during our earlier formative years does not help us in the application of our mind intelligently and kills or struts our personality. If you look around you will see more of these types of generation-debilitated personalities that create disharmony among mankind. Does blind faith help? If so in what way? May I have an answer that can guide me in right directions?
