Society & Culture - 17 December 2007

i don't consider myself as "religious" per say but i do believe in God and i pray often...i've been dating this guy for a lil' over a month and things seem to be moving along pretty well...the only thing that sucks is that he is atheist and i'm not sure if i can see a future for "us"...Don't get me wrong, he's a great person and all and i respect his beliefs BUT i'm thinking about the future here and it would be kinda weird raising kids w/ someone who feels so differently than i.

What do you think?

Sending his message simultaneously all over the world in all languages would have given most of humanity a common believe thus preventing most religious wars.
That's why "God" is a figment of someones imagination.

stricken, homeless kids?

Don't get me wrong, I think that those three issues are problems no matter what country you're in. I suppose I shouldn't limit it to just America, but since thats where I live, I have. I don't care about the rest of the world's problems. Not when the problems that the country I live in continue to go unsolved while America tries to save the rest of the world. Maybe America as a country should heal from within before we try to heal the world.

the grand prize was $10,000, you won that prize. Would you tell your family and friends that you won $10,000 or would you keep quite about it?

Is there any real proof, I mean did someone see him walk out of the sky and say hello, of God(s). My theory is the Bible was a form or entertainment but some idiot though it was real and based the middle ages of that. Again unless solid proof is given I reject your claim and stick with my own. Or as Adam Salvage puts it. 'I reject your reality and substitute my own" Mythbusters.
Also what solid evadence do we have that a magic force created this. I believe in the Big Bang Theory and my questions stop at the bumps in time and space. Some things are ment to be left alone.

A vigin can not under any matter of modren law give birth unless she went to a sperm bank. Now answer with SOLID PROOF that these things could / could not have happened.

dont say modest because that word is different for everybody.
If possible, be specific.
If it states somewhere in the bible how women should dress then please show me.
Also, how are men suppose to dress? they kinda all dress the same dont they? all covered most of the time.

Let it be known that Christianity was born out of oral tradition,and for the 1st 400 years more or less,there was no canon and no official scripture, that is until the Catholic Church made it so under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
But how can you say you do not believe in Tradition? As that of the Catholic Church,and yet believe in the birth of Christ on the 25th of December,Easter and other Church celebrated festivals of Christ coming and rising for us,without tradition,since there is no mention of specific dates of these things happening,it is out of Tradition that we believe.
How can you say you dont believe in Tradition?If the Catholic Church is the only Church,Orthodox and Roman,that safeguards the Holy places Christ was born,died and was risen,so that all the world may come to believe,it is out of tradition that these places are known.
And above all how can you not believe in Tradition? When out of Judaism,a tradition,came our Lord and Savior.
Blessed Christmas To All

People say Santa is just a cruel lie to children, others say he is a tool for corporate propanda. Some say he symbolises materlialism and greed.

Me? I think he represents the kind nature of human beings. I think Santa is a wonderful concept and it's a shame such a man doesn't exist.

I do not believe Santa exists physically, but I believe that he does exist in all our hearts. Because though the man does not exist, the things he represents do.

This year, I will give selflessly to my loved ones, and in that way, I will help keep Santa alive. What will you do? Do you believe in Santa Claus?

I heard from someone today the requirement to be saved is to answer yes to all these questions:

Do you think Christ's death and ressurection were sufficient for you to gain eternal life (meaning in the very presence of God- not just to live forever)?

Do you believe Christ paid for your sins- or do you think He paid to give you the opportunity to pay for your own sins?


Well, I can answer those questions with a yes. If that makes me saved, then why does it matter that I am a Mormon?

Jews started worshipping him? No one on earth traces the beginning of their heritage or civilization to the Noah flood story. No one outside of the middle east claims that their ancestors came from Adam and Eve, Abraham, or Noah. They all have different creation stories involving other gods, and the Abrahamic god is an IMPORT to those nations, not the universally accepted god of creation.

The "same god different names" theory can't be true, because if it was then the history of this god would be the same throughout the world. The "world flood" stories would all involve Noah, not just the middle eastern version.

Sounds like a local fabrication to me. How do we know that Moses didn't invent/create/fabricate "God" when he was wandering through the desert? Can anyone name a culture outside of the middle east that traces it's beginnings to Noah's Ark, or was the bible lying when it said that God killed everyone on Earth except Noah and his family?

All true Christians have the Holy Spirit, so whenever they pray, or do anything they are doing so in the Spirit right?

When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I am saved"

I'm whispering "I was lost"

That is why I chose this way.


When I say..."I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

And need someone to be my guide.


When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak

And pray for strength to carry on.


When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed

And cannot ever pay the debt.


When I say..."I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are all too visible,

But God believes I'm worth it.


When I say..."I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain

I have my share of heartaches

Which is why I speak His name.


When I say..."I am a Christian"

I do not wish to judge.

I have no authority.

I only know I'm loved.

Ok, when i go to school, people think im really weird, and i hate it. One thing is, my voice kinda sounds like a girl, and people make fun of me for that all the time. And just today, i got in trouble for tying strings to paper, and then hanging them out the school window, and i have a feeling i did it just so that people thought that i was cool, and they liked me more. I have friends, but really not many. Please help, i really don't want to just go see a counselor, because all they will do is make it even more embarrassing by talking to the people who make fun of me, and that will just make it worse, because they know who it is that they make fun of, so yeah... I'm coming here for advice.

P.S. I've talked to my parents, but they don't really know what to do.
