Are there people out there in the world who have a certain
fetish for a good, sound Christmas story. Or maybe even
a movie. There are so many great ones out there.
Like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. And Rudolph,
or even Frosty The Snowman. Which is kind of a
self pity film, if you ask me. But anyway, give me your
favourite Christmas time movie. Old or new. It does not
matter. My pick is The Christmas Carol. The 1984
version, with George, uh whatever his last name is.
The real Scrooge. List yours here on the panel.
And if I like it the most, you get best answer.

if this is a holy book why are the folowing quotes (yes they are real) included in it. how is this allowed and how do muslims follow and worship this hate speak.

"Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war." Qur'an:9:5

"Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission." Qur'an:9:29

"So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)." Qur'an:8:39

"Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands, lay them low, and cover them with shame. He will help you over them." Qur'an:9:14

10 points if you can give me a valid reason

He is the type that really has everything already. He is young and has expensive tastes. I don't have the budget for expensive tastes, is there anything inexspensive I can get him without looking too cheap??

Note: He also is a health food junkie, so the typical cake and cookies thing is out as well.

I appreciate your answers in advance!

In my opinion, there is a leap between what people do believe, and what they say they believe. I would say if someone believes in angels, if someone came up to them glowing and with wings, they would not believe it and would more likely think they were insane or having a trick played on them.

Satantic practices seem far from the actual worship of Satan. They focus most directly in giving in to one's self. Worshiping thyself. To me, they seem to be a;ot like athiests with a twist--a guideline of rules to live by. I hope I'm not putting my foot in my mouth--correct me if any of this is wrong, please.

My question is though:

aside from the name 'Satanism' why is the misconception so great that they actually even believe in a Satan, much less worship one? Is it misinformation perhaps?

The reason for that is Newton was a Christian and Einstein was a jew. And 99% of all scientists ever been are Christians.

I don't have statistics to back up my claims but I have 'faith'.

Now we learn from the Bible that the Rapture will be May 21th 2011 AD.
Five month's* after, the Ultimate Terror: Judgment Day Oktober 21th 2011 AD
* And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. (Revelation 9:5)

The Bible is a Book that is absolutely true and trustworthy. It is the centerpiece, the keystone of this study.

I think it depends, I know people who would think so though. I guess they think the government is the epitome of perfection or something.

Muslims calling for an execution is down right EVIL.

Is it Religious faith or just plain Hatred? Over a Teddy bear being named Mohamhed, they want to Murder someone?

We read in God's Holy Law-Book the Bible in Isaiah 42:5-9 Thus saith God JAHWEH, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I JAHWEH have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am JAHWEH: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

I meditate daily as spiritual practice along with daily yoga. It has brought much joy to my life. I have a 3 year old that loves to practice yoga with me, but my wife draws the line with the meditation aspect saying its too early. I feel one compiments the other, but for the sake of household peace, I respect her position. I look forward to the public responce on this issue.

Isn't the reason for the season really the phat lewt and the scrilla?

Sure, Jesus is cool and all, it's nice of him to let us all celebrate his birthday with him. And it's cool that the Pagans allow us to partake in some of their practices, too. But regardless of the "why" we celebrate, I think we can all agree on one thing.

As a kid, when Christmas was exciting, and the world seemed innocent, wasn't it really about the booty (piratey version, not derriere) under the tree?

Best wishes to you all this holiday season, may you score big in the present payload!
