Can you please explain to me what your beliefs are? Also, if you teach and live by the Bible, why did your religion write a whole new one? Also, I am a little confused why you cant celebrate a holiday or birthday. Its tradition and there is no where in the Bible that states that it is a sin. You say that you dont need "one day" to celebrate something, yet you have no problem celebrating a wedding. It just makes no sense to me.

because when you walk in the dark you cant see but, when you live by the light you know where you're going.

today in medicine people are diagnosed with have multiple personalities or hearing voices and are given drugs or treatments to help them.

well if one were to not be diagnosed or treated and found by some religious people and the person were to ether look like he/she is possesed or he/she is saying that god is talking to them
would you think they are crazy, possesed or prophet? how would you know the difference?

Luke 11:27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you."
28He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
Just like they call her a virgin still even thougth the Bible says she had sex? My point being only Christ is worthy of our complete attention.

Christians would have a hard time collating a cohesive set of rules rather than cherry-picking from the OT and NT, which are rife with contradictory ideas. I hear many Christians speak of the rules of the OT as "fulfilled" by Jesus, so they don't have to follow OT rules, then they insist that the 10 commandments are still viable. That's inconsistent. Unless there is someone who can straighten me out? Are we supposed to love everyone, or eye for an eye? Are we supposed to turn our cheeks or fight in wars? Are we supposed to abstain from mixed fibers since Jesus only revoked the dietary laws specifically? Do you even know, and if so, how?

I know just speaking for myself, my handwriting has gotten REALLY bad from using a computer all the time, and I'm not nearly as good at doing math in my head after years of using a calculator for everything.

And all these 3 letter texting abbreviations, idk, bff, etc. We don't even use complete words anymore.

What do you guys think ?

I'd like to hear what people have to say about it. I am only trying to enlighten my horizons by listening to both sides.

They say that the only cause of suffering is '' craving ''.

I celebrate Christmas, but it is more for my daughters. I don't want to rob them of all the presents they receive..... great reason, I know. However, I don't treat it as a religious holiday.... just a great time to help out others and give to those who don't have.
However, I do feel like I am forced to celebrate it by my family and society. If you don't celebrate Xmas people act like you just told them Hitler was your grandfather. They act like I am doing my children harm if I don't put up a tree and buy gifts for everyone I know.

Do any other Atheists feel forced to celebrate this holiday, or do you choose to do so willingly? Or do you simply choose not to celebrate it at all?

Are religious people really as happy as they claim to be? In other words, are all those Christians who are so happy because they have been touched by the Lord genuinely happy or are they faking it?

Like on the Simpsons when Flander's son said "Mrs. Simpson made us happy. And not church happy, real happy."

Lots of people answering questions about Mormons don't actually know much about them, as evidenced by these things I've seen over the last few weeks:

They sell their daughters to the highest bidder. (LohB)

They don;t believe in circumcision. (James) [Personally I think this would be a good thing, but all the same, it isn't true.]

Joseph Smith claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus (Don't remember who said that)

They believe people are aliens from another planet (don't remember either).

All these things are untrue! I'm a Mormon so I should know. What other stupid things have you seen said about Mormons?
