are they oblivious to the fact that it isnt about santy clause aka ole saint nick, reindeers, gifts and eggnog or do they use the holiday as an excuse to spend $14.5 billion in gifts and get time off work?


I could never see myself celebrating a holiday I have no affiliation or belief in just for hedonistic purposes.


hypocrisy?

In my view, all believers should just reject any medical attention or healthy lifestyles and instead check themselves out as soon as possible.

you reached the second half of the great life?

I seem to still have the same energy level as I did when I was younger, much to my surprise!

what does it mean to “see” Jesus as Myth?

-If I were to Create a visual representation that illustrates the similarities between Jesus Christ and various ancient myths or mythical characters (ex:Mesopotamian/Greek/Roman/Chinese/etc. mythology) then what pictures should I use . how can I explain any relevance toward these similarities with the noted mythologies. Are they mere coincidences or not?can you give me examples

thanks everyone!

I cannot tell you how many opinions I have read that have no basis in the Bible at all! Most people are just shooting from the hip as if their mind is all they need to discern spiritual things.

I've seen lots of Christians believe that God modified man from ape, and such, so why don't others?

Is there some sort of offensive image of God (though he has no appearance) that would mean he's any less of a being if he was an ape? Or even a fish?

Why, if God is amazing anyway, could he not be a fish?

Hi
I've just finished reading a piece in the paper, I won't bore you with the full story but could you stand there and watch a loved one even a child die for the sake of a simple tranfusion, my oppinion is...any "faith" that condones this is wrong and should be outlawed, if you believe that God gave life, what right have you not to help preserve it?. there are about 6.5 million Jehovah's Witnesess in the world and this is their faith, they won't even save their own blood to help save life.
Ray. West York's. U.K.

I once asked a Jehovah's witness in for a chat, as we sat at the table I said...'right what happens now?'..'I haven't a clue' he said, 'I've never got this far before'. (watch this space, 6.5 million violation orders due)

Today in church the pastor said he had a message from God and it was for a young person around my cousins age, that is going through some rough times. He described her situation to a T.

Any way the pastor lets my cousin know she's going to be Ok and that she's having a hard time because the devil is trying hard to get her but she was going to make it because God's looking out for her. (I know she will)

We go to another room to get some more prayer for her to make things easier on her and make her feel better in private, and then I look to the floor and see a face in the carpet. Its not a happy face... it looked peeved and I think I saw horns. I doubt I'm hallucinating because I checked a bunch of times and it was still there.

Not that I didn't take the pastor seriously before but I'm scared to for her now crap now.

If you could pray for her; that she stays safe, reunite with her mom and siblings, and lead a blessed life we'd appreciate it

And then they could update it and publish it again?

And if I'm not able to - can you give me a reason why?

You never hear of vampires taking a shower or bath, or brushing their fangs. If they are undead, they would smell wouldn't they? If they shave, would they cut themselves? They tend to wear the same clothes everyday. Wonder if they even use the toilet? What do do think on this subject?

Evolution teaches us we are just animals.
We have NO SOUL!!!!!!!
S o whats the bigg deal if some mother kills her fetus.
Do you really think a 9 month old fetus is a person?
NO-NO-NO...
We arent a person until we exit the uterus.
And so what if it feels a little pain?
Its my body... and no-one is gonna tell me that i have to deliver a fetus.
What about my pain.
We have the right to control life and death, not some skydaddy.
And for your information christians...
We came about from non-life.
A lightening bolt struck a rock billions of years ago causing the first ameba to life.
So whats your excuse...

Clearly the only "logical" choice is to be an atheist.

The ONLY theory about how the world came into being is that there was a spontaneous explosion that came from NOWHERE and that sub-atomic particles created themselves.

Clearly, all life on earth is just an accident. The eye formed from nothing, etc.

Yes, nothing gives me a warmer feeling in my heart to know when I die, I will cease to exist FOREVER and that life has no point.

Do you agree?

2007-12-09 12:52:51 · 30 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

because education has changed peoples beliefs?
or will we have changed enough that religion will no longer be necessary to our society?
