I grew up w/me mums side of the family going to Full Gospel churches and my fathers going to Southern Baptist.
By blood/heritage my dad is 60% Jewish and 40% Native American
By blood me mum is half irish and half jewish.
My family stopped long ago practicing Judaism.
From the ages 11-15 I preached at small and big churches no matter wat the denomination. Then I finally admitted to my family last year that I was gay.
They flipped.
I hav always been interested in my familys heritage and in religion. Now I have explored so many different religions all awesome yet I am becoming more interested in parallel universes, big bang theory, and sci-fi stuff...

Mainly I am just curious to learn about more people's religions and I'd like to hear some of yalls responses.

I don't have loads of money or anything. Am a 20 yr old college student just looking t do something good for someone else. I thought about donating canned food and that would be great(although I als thought..how about making loads of sandwiches because it's more personable but then there are worries about food safety prcodures etc..) but then my friend suggested that maybe I just volunteer at a soup kitchen? Anyone know anything or somewhere I can get more information on this? Any help will greatly be appreciated. Merci!

What implications does it have for the "gift" some Christians say it was when their god gave it to mankind? For instance, would an animal or microrganism have been allowed to eat from ALL trees in the Garden of Eden?

What are your thoughts (while keeping within the context of the particualr myth)?

Granted - yes they won't think "with a Christian mind" when they make decisions. But give some examples of decisions or things a Mormon would do that would be so bad? Actual things they would do if elected that would hurt you personally.

ANSWER WITH AN EXAMPLE PLEASE.

Don't leave any stupid answers like "He's not real???" It really ticks me off.

How I found out:
I was 9 or 10 and I was walking around my house and I saw my mom carry a bo with an electrical piano inside it accross her room. Then on Christmas day when I recieved it, it was claimed to be "from Santa" so after about a couple weeks I finally came to my senses.
So anyways, how did you find out Santa wasn't real?

I have been busy this week with helping others.
I know one couple that is very poor people but they spend there time a couple weeks before Christmas collecting gifts and taking to little children that is not having a real good Christmas.
I know these people never have a gift to wake up to on Christmas morning.
Danielle (My Daughter) & I went and bought presents for them,wrapped beautiful,make cookies and delivered to their house...
It was sad they were so Happy.
We told them they could not open until Christmas morning.

So any ideals out there of what we can do for a good deed at
Christmas time?

Last but down least:
*~~Happy Holidays To All~~*

found this joke thought it was funny, decided to share with all you R&S people.

God said to Adam, "I am going to make you a helper, a companion. What would you like your companion to be like?" Adam replied, "Well I want someone that is humorous, witty, intelligent, compassionate, caring, loving, trusting, polite, generous and beautiful."

God paused a moment after Adam's wish list and told Adam that a companion like that 'would cost him an arm and a leg.' Adam seemed a little dejected and then brightly replied: "What can I get for a Rib?"

What are your Personal views on Copulation (between male & female) and Masturbation?

People always make me smile when they say that there is so much more crime, murder, gays (for people that think gays are wrong, according to the Bible) today than in the past. Guess what? First of all, in 1000 B.C. There was only 50 million people, we didn't even break the billion mark for world population until around 1800 A.D. There is approximately 6.6 billion people today. Of course the crime is much higher!
Secondly, we have almost instant worldwide communications to report what's going on, on the other side of the US, or the world for that matter.
Third, people are much more open (yes, there were many gays in the past), and won't be killed for liking the same sex. Also, it is widely encouraged to report a rape/incest/murder, by various organizations and society. It's scary to imagine how much incest went on in the past that no one reported. How many young women had children by their father or uncle and the wife took them on as her own child? The worlds no scarier today!!

If they didn't want the prayer, would you pray anyway? That's wrong isn't it? Like you are right and they are wrong. Forceing the issue.

Why do christians jump to the conclusion that "x-mas" is a modern way of "taking the 'christ' out of 'Christmas'," when the smallest bit of research will show that "x" is used as an abbr. for the Greek, "christos" and "x-mas" has been used for a thousand years, even in New Testament manuscripts?

(Zechariah 3:1-2) 3 And he proceeded to show me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand in order to resist him. 2 Then [the angel of] Jehovah said to Satan: “Jehovah rebuke you, O Satan, yes, Jehovah rebuke you, he who is choosing Jerusalem! Is this one not a log snatched out of the fire?”
