Society & Culture - 6 December 2007

I used to work for a department store that offered gift wrap, I worked in the customer service area & have wrapped many gifts & have picked up some great bow skills. All my gifts look professional. So now I have somehow become the go to girl for gift wrap in my family. I have expressed to my family that I don't like them putting all the gifts on me to wrap. A lot of times I don't have enough space to wrap the gift, or I haven't been home and they have been home & could have wrapped the gift themselves. I even asked them to wrap the gift & I would put all the bows on them. Still no they want me to wrap everything! So I am asking how can I no longer be the designated gift wrapper since my family hasn't payed attention to my wishes.

if your belief doesn't follow this process, do you see any problems with this process?

How to Believe in God
Six Easy Steps

1. First, you must want to believe in God.
2. Next, understand that believing in God in the absence of evidence is especially noble.
3. Then, realize that the human ability to believe in God in the absence of evidence might itself constitute evidence for the existence of God.
4. Now consider any need for further evidence (both in yourself and in others) to be a form of temptation, spiritually unhealthy, or a corruption of the intellect.
5. Refer to steps 2-4 as acts of “faith.”
6. Return to 2.

My partner and I run a guesthouse, and during the summer we had a lovely family stay with us for 2 weeks from Kuwait. We exchange emails and they have sent us photos. Is it OK for us to send them a Christmas card?

does anyone have advice for a quarter life crisis
im 25, have been in my first job for a little over two years now, i have a degree and all of a sudden feel this isn't what i should be doing, meanwhile all of my friends are getting married, having kids, are in a job they love and are getting houses. i can only afford a studio right now. im not concerned with materialistic items but they seem to be going through all these changes and are so happy with them and my life is so stagnant. im not complaining and i am very happy for all of them but im just extremely bored and dont know how to change it. i exercise, read and cook for hobbies and for the most part can be very happy alone so i dont need a huge social scene. im embarrassed to talk to any of my friends about this because they think i have it all together, which i do for the most part. i guess to make a long story short i dont know what to do with my life right now.

I personally think it wouldn't be a bad idea for atheists to have a holiday. But in your opinion, what would you celebrate?

When discussing proof of God's existence, I also get a lot of talk of faith and being responsible if you choose not to believe.

First of all, the definition of faith is belief without proof, so having faith does NOT prove anything. It simply means that you believe something that you can't prove, otherwise it wouldn't be faith.

Second, you can not choose to believe something, you either believe it or you don't. You can choose to say you believe something (or don't). You can even choose to live your life by it (or not). But that doesn't mean you truly beleive it (or don't believe it). A person has no choice in whether or not they TRULY believe. Therefore, how can one be responsible for their faith or lack thereof?

And he is believed to be God, thus incapable of sin, and there was no problem with him doing so, then why do many Christian churches today believe that any amount of wine (or any alcohol for that matter) intake is sinful? Isn't that an oxymoron or is he only allowed to do so because he is God?

Look deep inside yourself and give me an honest answer to this hypothetical. If you were born into, for example, a devout moslem family, went to Mosque 5 days a week, prayed and read the Koran--wouldn't you be just as devout a moslem. Wouldn't you be absolutely sure than Allah was the one true God. If you have the guts to answer yes to this, then doesn't that say that religion is more about what you were brought up (moslems and christians i almost would say brainwashed) to believe and not about the actual "truth" of the religion.

I am LDS and in a lot of the posts people say that if you don't believe in the "Trinity" as seems to be defined in the Nicene Creed you are not Christian. Where in the Bible does it say that you are only a Christian if you believe in the Nicene concept of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost?

Give me any history book any history at all that states *Marraige* was not created for the protection of the *Family* take any religious
factors from it. If marragie was not created, a woman could have sex with all types of men, claim who she wanted as the Father.

Even if a woman commits adultery and becomes pregnant her husband has always been assumed to be the father.

Legal property rights have always been in place for Children, realitives heck Helmsely left her property to Fido.

My question is, if your up to challenge is Marraige has been created for a FAMILY not 2 people that hook up and are worried about property rights they have those rights.. So why not be satiasfied ?Marragie was never intended for gay couples leave the word alone and I am sure people of faith will leave you alone and support your legal rights to one another
Thoughts?
