When someone asks something like: Jewish people what is the significance of the menorah.
A Christian might answer It is pointless because Jesus came and there is no reason to celibrate Hannaka.

Or another example: Christians what is the proof you use to say that Jesus actually came and died and rose again?

A Christian might answer: Because the bible says it is true. You should belive the bible because if you don't you will burn in hell.

Neither of these make since.
Will the kind of people who answer questions like the 1st one only answer questions like the second one, and please not answer like the person in the second one did?

Just Wondering.

My grandmother works for the Department of Human Services (Public Aid Dept.) and I went into the office today. A mother and her daughter came in and applied for cash assistance from the government....not unusual right? Well both the ladies had designer clothes and hair cuts, the mother was wearing a fur coat and carrying a Dolce and Gabanna (spelling?) purse, the daughter was carrying a Coach purse and a Razer phone.
It just made me wonder why they needed cash assistance if they could afford such expensive clothing and accessories.
Have you ever seen anything like that before? Do you know of anyone thats always asking for something from you or others but they have plenty of their own?

I rode by a church and there was a sign advertising a breakfast with Santa this weekend. I found it quite interesting.

I often feel guilt/regret about things that arent even bad. Someone once told me that people with a catholic upbringing often report this. I am not religious anymore, but i wonder if this is true.

Proving anything to 100% certainty is nearly impossible. With this in mind, if atheists can't except the historical evidence of Jesus the Christ, Then who can prove George Washington was not a mythical figure, with historical documents forged and invented, in a conspiracy to help a new country?

I am Asian, living in Singapore, an island modern city-state with many first class facilities.

As a christian, I face many persecutions in an Asian culture.

Our fellow Asian people tell us that following Christianity is like being "americanised" or "westernised", when Jesus was a middle eastern

Our Asian religions more often than not tells us that there are more than one God.

Our fellow Asian people sees Hollywood, and deem it as "Christianity" just because people in it says "Oh JESUS CHRIST!", therefore concluding that Christianity is nothing but fashion and hype.

In an Asian culture where parents are supposed to be NUMBER ONE (i love my mom alot), when we say God is Number One, we face many insults.

But interestingly, in places where Christians are persecuted, the number of Christians are increasing tremendously. (China, South Korea(developed country), Singapore, Northern Thailand)

are you persecuted and how?

I'm trying to find some books in the vain of "The God Delusion", "How we believe" by Michael Shermer. I'm really trying to show the faults in Christian logic or lack of logic. Any help?

El - the father of the gods,
Baal - Lord of the Sun and Male Fertility,
Anath - Goddess of Love and War,
Asherah - Goddess of Fertility (whore houses too)
Dagon, God of Vegetation
all got ousted by Yahweh.

So, what was Yahweh's "specialty" was he the "Trickster"?

I am taking part in a fundraiser where people are arrested and held in police custody until there bail money is raised! I ned to fill in my charge sheet and am looking for ideas on what my misdemeanour can be?? Doesn't have to be a real crime, but a play on words for a real crime would be good. Or something job related as it is through work. I am f/26/estate agent.
So far we have - impersonating a police officer (dressup 4 the arrest)
Improper use of the photocopier!

Hello, all:

Fellow Pagans, when Christians say that we worship the creation and not the Creator, do you think this is accurate? If so, why? If not, why not?

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond.

I am curious what religion uses what symbols - if there is any consistency. So if you could also put your religion, I would appreciate it.

This is me:

I completely believe there is no God. I completely believe there is no Pink-Clothed Rodent that watched my every move from the moon. For both of these issues I cannot completely affirm they are false. I cannot say they are wrong because they have no evidence against/for them. (Of course we have evidence against fundamnetal religion {Christianity, Muslim}, but I mean to talk about the idea of a creator who ran away/ignores us.) I am able to believe that the rodent and a creator dont exist. I can't prove that to anyone, but you scare me if you believe it.

What am I? (technically speaking, dont say "I think", you need to know.)
