Personaly I don't think it matters if he done it on purpose or not. It is Christmas time.

What is the big deal with mentioning Jesus Christ or Christmas? Do politicians not celibrate holidays?

Do most people fear the same things, but deal with those common fears in different ways?

What do you think the fears are that we all share?

My wife is Jewish and I am Christian. When we married 3 years ago she asked that we not have a tree unless my children were going to be at our home on Christmas. This year my kids are coming and I said lets put up the tree. She said no, that it made her uncomfortable and she was worried about how her kids would react (they are 18, 21 and 25).
We had a bit of an argument over her reaction and she finally agreed to put up the tree - begrudgingly. After having to argue about it, I told her it was not important and I did not want the tree up. She forced the issue. As we were putting up the tree - she again got nervous and wanted to make sure there would not be any crosses on the tree. I got pretty upset that I had offered to let this whole thing go and not put up a tree and she pushed on it. At the end of the day she could not get comfortable with the concept of the tree in the house.
Was I wrong to argue about this? What experiences have others had with this situation?

Please be specific in determining the language.

Those who can even decipher a line or two will be more likely to get best answer.

Attached is a link to a Yorkshire Post article and video, a child's sing-a-long about a little girl watching her mother strap on a bomb, then blowing herself and others up when Israeli troops confront her. The end of the song is about how the child wants to emulate her mother.

Do we need to legislate penalties for using children to promote violence? I'm not aware of any such laws, but if they exist, what are they?

I recently graduated from college, and I received a congratulations card with no money/check. I'm not complaining, since I didn't send out announcements to receive gifts. I sent them out to announce my graduation, but I know that people do send gifts, so I bought thank you notes.

Anyway...I planned on sending thank you notes for those who sent congratulatory cards, but my husband thinks that it may be rude...kind of like saying "gee, thanks for the card". I don't want to be rude, or make anyone feel awkward, and I can't find the "rule" on this one.

I'm sure someone has encountered this situation, and there is an etiquette rule on this out there that I can't seem to find. So...

Please share if you have the info, or if you've already tackled this one!
Thanks!
:)

I have seen so many questions today from believers in God that have insulted atheists. WHY in the world would they want to know God/Jesus if this is the way that we treat those who do not believe. Jesus died for those people just as much as He died for us- Please stop insulting those people and one day , they may see God in us and they may want to know Him. I am SO sorry for these types of questions.

...to refuse to deal with our Yahoo 360 glitches? I finally read their blog, which only shows up on my srceen periodically, and they are not going to work on the glitches and are going to shut down Yahoo 360. There have been so many thoughtful and beautiful blogs posted recently, and we are not able to post a comment for the most part. I say Yahoo is a poop, and I am sure that the "easy transfer" of our information from their sites will be riddled with glitches as well. I want to say that I have read so many blogs that I so wanted to leave a comment and was unable to get it to post, so I am forced to leave a rather generic comment here: I have come to love my Yahoo family and I appreciate all of you. If we are good friends, we shall remain so. If we happen not to agree, I still appreciate you for making think about whay I believe as I do. Mushy moment....I love you wonderful people. What's not to love?

What is the purpose of life? We once were nothing. Suddenly we realized we are little kids in this life. Do you think if we died, it would feel the same as when we were not born?

What life worth? I heard people say “you have one life, don’t waste it. Enjoy it as much as you can” I think the price of enjoyment/ happiness is really high. I know many wealthy people who are not happy. & they have to do a lot to protect themselves & their wealth. It’s the same with people in power. In the end we’ll die & million years from now the whole pleasure we ever got from this life would worth less than a penny. What do you think?

Baseball
Two boys were playing hockey on the pond on Boston Common, when one is attacked by a vicious Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy took his hockey stick and managed to wedge it down the dog's collar and twist, luckily breaking the dog's neck and stopping the attach.
A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Bruins Fan Saves friend from Vicious Animal..." he starts writing in his notebook. "But, I'm not a Bruins Fan", the little hero replied. "Sorry, since we're in Boston, I just assumed you were", said the reporter and starts again. "Red Sox Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific attack..." he continues to write in his notebook. "I'm not a Red Sox fan either!" The boy said. "I assumed everyone in Boston was either a Bruins or Red Sox fan. So, what team do you root for? the reporter asked. "I'm a Yankees fan!" the child beamed. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes: "Little Bastard from New York Kills Beloved Family Pet".

I got married to someone who is from Nigeria. I would like to know if it is alright for a Nigerian Woman whom is not married to call herself a wife of a man who is married. Is it wrong or is it just the traditional way of the Nigerian Community?

It seems like everybody is learning to speak English in Europe. China and India each have more speakers of English than the U.S. does, and the demand to learn the language continues to grow. Will there ever be a time when the entire planet speaks a single language (English), either as a first, second, third...tounge?

religion isn't that a breaking of the seperation of Church and state being the state cannot interfere with the Church? Why doesn't the church just start its own schools that runs study without religion and do away with state schools? They could after that send them to cheap Christian colleges and thus become smarter and better educated the the dumb down system we have today eventually causing Christians to be more successful in businesses and other things because they actualy spend time learning stuff worth while!

This is a two part question, one for Christians and one for Atheists.

Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas, this is really the same thing:
Holiday = Holy Day
Christmas = Christ Mass
Christ Mass IS A Holy Day
Christimas IS A Holiday



Christians:
Why would you be offended by someone telling you to have a Happy "Holy Day"?



Atheists:
Why is saying Happy "Holy Day" any less offensive to you then saying Merry "Christ Mass"?
