I’ve known people from many religions and Atheists, Agnostics and Deists. For some reason it has little to do with how much I like them. It seems as though each group has intelligent, respectful and caring people, and some who aren’t. Each group has people who seem to like or not like me. Anything wrong with that?

I'll give you the "Readers Digest" version: My Dad's rich, I'm not. He doesn't really care about me, and I don't really care about him. We still exchange xmas presents just to keep up appearances. Every year all he does is send me $200, and I kill myself trying to come up with something, ANYTHING that isn't the same old crap I get him every year (booze, cigars, last year, if I recall correctly, I got him Omaha steaks). I haven't the care or the energy to try anymore. Anyone have any ideas?

He's retired so he doesn't need a tie or anything like that.
And a picture of me is out of the question because despite how many pictures my sister and I have given him over the years (school, my wedding and such) he hasn't put one up in his house. He only has pictures of himself and wife #3.

I should just send him a check for $200, shouldn't I? That would be funny.

I've been wanting to buy a big Russian dictionary, however I can't decide upon which one to get. I'm thinking about either the Oxford Russian Dictionary, or the Concise Oxford Russian Dictionary. Which one do you recommend? Do you recommend either of them? Have any other suggestions about a different Russian Dictionary I should check out? Thanks!

The company I bought it from says that I am responsible for the package, especially since I sent it to a different address other than my billing address. I don't agree. I think that if I pay for something, it should be enjoyed. Am I wrong in thinking that? Has anyone had any situations like this?

LoL. :"Adam's mistake was trusting Eve; Eve's mistake was trusting Satan; Satan's nature is Satan's mistake; God's mistakes were no mistake." - The Bible / Shades of Sorrow

For those who don't believe in God look at both of your hands that "M" is for "m"ankind; ironically it's also for "m"istake.

I believe it would be Atheism, closely followed by Agnostic.

However, I think Paganism is the one religion that threatened and still threatens Christianity today.

People still fear Paganism due to the influences of the church...

Please discuss. Thank you.

Ask yourself why you believe what you believe. When you have the answer, ask yourself why you believe it to be true. When you have that answer, ask yourself why you believe that to be true. Trace your belief system back to its most basic root, the thing that you base all of your other beliefs on. Now, why do you believe this fundamental proposition? Is it self-evident? Is it an assumption?

Does it seem that teenagers on this forum have very strong opinions. Many seem to be closed minded and racist and think they actually know something, when they probably never have read a book in their lives. I doubt that I was unique when I was 17. I realized then, as today, I don't know very much and and need to read everything I can in order to make up a valid opinion. How can teenagers know so much when they spend so much time playing video games rather than reading. This gets frustrating when I put so much effort into answering and get 14 "thumbs down" because I don't agree with what they believe to be true about the subject being debated.

I once taught Holocaust studies and ran into the same problem. The 16 year olds had very strong opinions with no facts to back them up. I figured that they had heard these things from someone else and just adopted them as their own.

What do you think? Thanks

lets say i had premarital sex with my girlfriend. now i go on to marry this girl and have a family. technically i sinned ( sex before marriage) but i did this with my future wife at the time and im NOT sorry about it. so now what? Do i go to hell because of this? while murderers may truly repent what they have done and get into heaven? sounds stupid. no matter how hard i try i just am not sorry for doing this and in my mind why would i be sorry? so am i officially headed to hell?

(Revelation 3:12) ““‘The one that conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out [from it] anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine.”

All we agree that these words are from Jesus in heavenly state. The question is, how can Jesus has a God if he is part of trinity? He wasn't in earth when he said these words to claim his human nature, he was in heaven.

Does anyone else think *mentioning* Intelligent Design in a classroom constitutes establishing a national church. Or is it only the judges on that trial.

I'm sure stuff like this is exactly what our founding fathers had in mind when they wanted to be sure no "Church of America" would be established like the "Church of England" in England.

"Teaching intelligent design in public school biology classes violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States (and Article I, Section 3 of the Pennsylvania State Constitution) because intelligent design is not science and "cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents."

Here on Yahoo I have Brothers/Sisters that I really do love.I have never meet them in person.Its the same way when meeting another Christian for the first time.You can actually feel the presence of God as you greet them.Its as if there is a fountain that brings forth love.It has nothing to do with their looks or race.Its not a love that is motivated by lust or desire.

NOTE: I have not always been a Christian and it wasn't till I became a Christian that I experianced this.SO WHAT IS IT?

I am a full gospel Christian, yet I am also drawn to know more of the messianic jews, as we are grafted in by the jews. They are still Gods chosen ppl, but we know about Jesus. IT would have to be the messianic jewish faith. Are their service in hebrew, if so we wouldnt understand them? Are there some in English? How do we learn more? Just from the few greek and hebrew words we have learned recently, we can see there is way more to the Bible than we ever realized. My husband and I are very much on the same page about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all who will reach out and lead us to more truths.
Thanks a lot and God bless you.

My parents never told me that Santa was real. They just told me it was a tradition and that parents put the presents under the trees. Did anyone else have this experience? How did you feel? How would you feel if you had had this experience?

I'm not talking about physical strength. I'm talking about how to be a man. A real ladies man. A strong-headed, aggressive, alpha male that women love and guys respect. There seems to be getting fewer and fewer of them these days. Instead they are getting replaced with emo-type, protesting potheads. Has anyone else noticed this?
