and they are getting upset because you have not yet left..is that acceptabel to you?

example.. you normally run late, so did not pin down a time. In fairness, you say you will stop in for a visit anytime between 11am-1pm... and they call you at 10:30am , already acting pissy..

how would you deal with that?

I need to send cookies from california to arizona and I want them to arrive on christmas day but I don't want to pay extra for express mail. They have to arrive right around christmas because my grandpa doesn't like opening his gifts before christmas and I don't want them to get stale. Thanks!

This is the first time I will be celebrating Christmas since I abandoned Christianity and any lingering belief in God.

I'm not really interested in celebrating Christmas anymore. I never cared for it much anyway--it bugs me how the whole season seems to just be a good excuse for department stores to make serious amounts of cash. People who can't afford to are going in debt to buy crap for other people that they don't need and probably will never use anyway.

I'm interested in shifting gears a little bit in terms of how I celebrate the winter holidays. How do you do it?

in the world? I would be hard pressed to choose, but there is one that I would so love to see. It is called Fallingwater, and it is in Western Pennsylvania. It is by an architect called Frank Lloyd-Wright. Has anyone seen it?

The Protestant Bible expressly states that Christ founded a teaching Church, which existed before any of the New Testament books were written.

Specifically, if it applies to you, what caused you to stop believing the church's definition of God, and/or the church's definition of "right and wrong"? - (just wondering)

I have read answers to questions similar to this one and people seem to have strong opinions even to as whether this is really torture or not. I believe that those who have never experienced it, cannot answer viably. I have experienced the waterboard firsthand and will give you my opinion after I've received yours.

an experience that made you change your mind and start believing in god, would you then try and convert the rest of us atheists.
concidering how you now feel about people trying to convince you fiction is fact, but also concidering that if you got turned to the dark side it would have to be something pretty impressive that did it, would you try and preach? even if you had no proof.

This is obviously hyperthetical (there is no god) but use your imagination, what would you do?

"It's a well-known fact that if you're set upon honor, honor slips around you and heads for where the daisies grow. And the reverse holds true. If you avoid honor, honor tails after you, begging: 'Dopey! What are you running away for? Take a little bit, at least.'"

This year I bought a multimedia life sized beautiful nativity scene to put up in my front yard. It has a sound system and a slide show in the backdrop to make it seem just like the real thing or maybe a movie scene.

The only problem is that the neighbors are complaining. They are complaining that the lighting system is supposedly too bright and that the sound track is supposedly too loud and bothering them.

The police came out and gave me a warning ticket. But I told them that I am not changing a thing and that I am standing up for my right of religious expression.

As far as I'm concerned, if these neighbors don't like it they aren't true Christians. How could anyone not appreciate the holiness and beauty of the birth scene of baby Jesus. If they don't like it they can find another neighborhood that celebrates the birth of SATAN.

What should I do?

Or do you turn them off when you go to bed? Also do you leave them on during the day?

I usually turn them on in the evening when I get home & switch them off when I go to bed but I am curious as to what other people do.

We know christianity stole christmas, easter, and valentines from pagan holidays and rewrote them in an effort to squash other beliefs. We also know that "in god we trust" was a propaganda campaign that started well over 100 years into US history.
Has there been any recent ideas or festivals stolen by christians and rewritten to their liking?
