Society & Culture - 8 December 2007

I tend to take a third person perspective when seeing atheists versus christians on here.
One thing I've noticed is the atheist are very strong in what they believe. Short of a god giving them a wedgy they are sticking to there guns.
On the other hand it seems like many christians on here get shook by anything. Their scared that the devil's using atheists against them. That we're in the holiday's not christmas. That they might catch the gay. That a movie is going to make them stop believing. Heck I had to make sure to include "many" when refering to chrisitans or else get 30 comments on genrelizing. It seems like around every corner christians are faltering.
At the same time many christians say atheists are arrogant to put up a front because they really do believe in god. When I have never seen a single atheist think anything was capable of changing there mind (oh except that deity wedgy). So what's going on here folks?

what %%% of disposal income base on your last salary did you have to have to insure you have the same life style that you enjoyed while you were working!!!

folks keep asking me this and i keep telling that at least 75% (at least in my case) is that about right with the rest of you folks!!!

Help! Christmas is coming. I have no idea what to get my husband. He's in the Navy, loves his job. He's a football fan, loves video games and movies, and war history. He's not very outgoing, loves time at home. He does not cook, clean, or do any housework. I don't want to get him movies or games but what should I get him?

I find it fun to put myself in situations where girls could make me dress up as a girl and then get myself out of it, its an adrenaline rush because i really dont want it to happen but each time i do it the different girls get closer and closer to wanting to do it....should i stop now and be safe?? or keep playing the game and just accept the embarassing consequences when it happens??...how bad do you think it would be for me?


Additional Details


like you know...making bets where id have to dress up if i lost, or joking around and teasing and callin girls sissy and worthless, or offering to let a girl pick my halloween costume, just situations where a girl could make it happen....and then if they try to make me do it its a big adrenaline rush cause its scary as hell....then its kind of a game cause i have to talk my way out of having to do it

I guess that unless it's explictly prohibitted by the Bible, they are free to believe whatever they want. :)

No disrespect, just curiosity: Why do you jump in on questions directed at pagans/heathens just to say we're going to hell, worshiping Satan and/or are perverted? The answers are usually rude and attacking, how does that help converting people to your way of thinking?

Thank you for polite answers.

Should we give something the stamp of approval just because by convenience it was included when the Bible was being put together by a bunch of mostly elderly men following their personal biases? And should we be swayed by men egotistical enough to claim their own writings were "divinely inspired"?

and they did a few miracles that made it obvious he was special, and if they then took your loved ones and threw them in a big furnace, because they'd had sex outside marriage, would you try and stop them?

...and Heaven does exist (as I believe it does) would this be enough for them to be granted access to Heaven? Or does getting into Heaven depend on acknowledging God and having faith in Him?

My school choir performs for the LDS church a lot around christmas time and occasionally throughout the year. But they arent supposed to clap at the end of our performance when we are in the chapel. Why? I understand that the chapel is sacred to them, but what does that have to do with clapping when someone does a good job?
