Considering they were here for millions of years and the poor little things don't get a mention, I'm sure an angel or even God himself would of said "don't forget about those scaley critters", telling moses or jesus to tell the people of these mighty creatures that onced roamed the earth before them. Maybe even Noah telling him how hard it would have been if he had to put the dinosaurs on two by two. So how come no mention?

Would there be an equal backlash if she was endorsing Hillary?

Some of her fans on her web-site say they are turning against her because she is putting black against white by endorsing Obama. But Obama almost never mentions race in his campaign. He mentions it less than even Clinton or Edwards who both spoke out on the Jena 6 case while Obama sat silent for the most part.

I wonder if any of her fans considered the fact that Obama is the senator from Oprah HOME STATE.

So what is with the backlash?

How does anyone REALLY know that all this stuff really exists?I have chosen to be Agnostic because I think that the whole "all-powerful-ruler-in-the-sky-that-noone-has-ever-seen-and-his-son-who-can-endure-things-that-noone-else-can" thing is a little too far fetched. Along with the fact that I think Christianity is too over represented. If there are many different Religions, then which one is correct? Of course a Christian would say his/her religion is the right one similar to how a football player will say his school is the best. How does anyone know that the bible isnt fictitious? I think Christianity was created by people, and for the purpose that humans need something to believe. Consider the fact that the "God" they worship can do everything that a normal human cant, yet, "we were created in his image"... a simple mind bender for this "God" is : Can God make a rock so heavy that even he cant lift it, even though he can do anything but fail?"

You first need to define what that means.

We have some new neighbors and they are really nice. They invited us to their house for dinner the other night and they asked us about how we celebrate Christmas. Since I am Pagan I told them about Yule. I would like to get them something for Yule that would be Muslim appropriate for the husband and wife and then something for their kids. She loves to read and he likes to build stuff. I thought of giving him a gift card to Home Depot since the house they bought needs some minor fixing up, but what would be an appropriate read that wouldn't offend and then something to give for the kids? I will not be home for Yule since we celebrate out of town with family.
Please, to those that have hate comments, keep them to yourself. Please star to your friends so I may have enough ideas.
Blessed be and Peace

I'm hosting a Christmas Party in a week and I wanted to create a playlist of Christmas music from every genre. Does anyone have any good heavy metal christmas songs (from bands like, or sound like Trivium, Bullet for my Valentine, etc)?

I was just wondering if anyone actually realized that all the "bad" things that have been done in the name of religion was not in the name of religion, but in the name of greedy, hateful PEOPLE (yes, that's right, your species), who chose to bend, and play with the laws of religion to suit there own needs.

Goodness Gracious (great balls of fire) get over it. Should a black man blame the christian religion today, for the whites who thought that inslaving blacks was the will of God back then?(and yes they thought that).

If Athiesm promotes the truth as they see it, that there is no God, then why celebrate Christmas?

And why create another myth of Santa to fit in its place

i've been seeing the word a lot in questions lately, and it seems to be somewhat of an insult to whomever the word is referring to? however the breakdown of the word christophobe means one who fears christ. and all christians claim to be god fearing, so if christians are god fearing and christ is god, then aren't christophobes christians? why doesn't the asker just say christians? it's a lot less confusing and we already know what a christian is?

I'm not vouching for his bigotry, but credit where credit is due, that was actually pretty funny.

Have we been wrong, or is this a free radical aberration?

If humans someday manage to colonize planets in other solar systems, do you think that the colonists are likely to practice the Christian religion on those other worlds? Or is Christianity too Earth-centric?

For instance, according to the bible, when Jesus returns he is going to come down from the clouds to Earth with trumpets blazing, etc. But, if Jesus is supposed to return to Earth, what about all the colonies on other worlds? Would Jesus do a repeat performance on all of them?

Satan was supposedly cast down to Earth by God. How would that belief work out with people being on other planets? Do you think they would assume that Satan had to stay on Earth because that's where God threw him down?

Do you think there would be a large enough number of theological problems in relating Christianity to new worlds that it would eventually discourage people from believing in Christianity when living on other worlds?
