Isn't it literally the "absence of God?" With that said, then wouldn't the absence of God just be the absence of life? Why would people who didn't believe in God in the first place even care?

If you, as a Christian, were employeed as an archaelogist and you unearthed evidence that Jesus never existed, or found evidence that the Bible was "made up" from fables, if you saw that it, nomatter what it was, was a very important archaeological find, yet would really, really hurt the Christian religion, would you hide it?

I already know that you believe that no such evidence exists, but I'm talking about ethics. You know.... What if?

It's an ethical question.

If YOU KNEW that it was conclusive evidence against the claims of Christianity, and that it would definitely cause many, many to disbelieve.??

What would be your duty?

The stress of it all, trying to do everything at once, do the Christmas baking, decorating the house, tripping over the kids in the process. All the Christmas shopping in which people are trying to get the hottest toys and items of the season, and practically killing each other over items between $10 and $20. Then you having children creating psychodramas in the toy store screaming, "I want this and this and that, too."

And here's a sitaution: Because you can't afford to shop this season (either you're broke or you have to budget for a new place,) you've decided you're going to MAKE gifts for people (burning CD's, drawing and framing a picture, making a calendar for the upcoming year.) Then, when you give the gift, the receiver not only doesn't like it, but also gives you a lecture about what if people don't like calendars, CD's, pictures, etc. then tells you it's vital to find out what the person likes, and to BUY it for them! Um, isn't it the THOUGHT that counts?

This isn't a case where it would be ignorant to say just because you can't see something doesn't mean it exists. This is a case where it would be ignorant to say something exists because someone else tells you it is there.

Can I wish everyone here on Yahoo R/S a Merry Greedfest?

I was trying to think of a good label for the upcoming holiday since a few people that are christians asked me what do I call the holiday that they celebrate as christmas, and I came up with Greedfest.

Just think about it. It is truly ironic that Jesus' teaching was about avoiding the pitfalls of earthly treasures, yet the celebration of his birth is the largest trade of earthly treasure between humans.

So, let me know if you believe Greedfest is a great alternative name for the day otherwise known as christmas.

How rare and precious it is to find one out of twenty sincere on Q&A. I for one, can only answer, or, ask, out of my experience, with the intent, of sharing, in trust, it will be helpful for others struggling with the realization of the same truth.
