Paganism remains a broad enough subject to entertain people, and I would like to be able to concentrate more on Pagan questions.

Creationists, explain evolution in your best words. Please do not inject any opinion into your explanation, state only what you know about it, regardless of whether or not you think it happened.

I'll admit, I'm not an overly religious person, but I am a Christian and I believe in God. I'm getting really sick and tired of people making Christmas lists with expensive gifts like iPods, video game systems, jewelry, etc. I do understand the significance of giving gifts during this holiday (the three wise men), but when did Christmas become more about gift giving and less about celebrating Jesus' birth and spending time with family? I do buy presents for certain people (usually small but meaningful ones) and of course for my kids, because they're still young and don't understand Christmas yet. What's up with full grown adults and teenagers who care about nothing more than getting gifts? Is anyone else tired of this?

I don't really know where. He died approximately 1978. I was wondering to track his records because I have never met him. I wanted some information about him. My parents were married but then divorced when we were babies and he never visited us for whatever reason. There were a lot of family politics, I don't know the whole story. I have his name and I think his right birthdate and his mother's first name. Could someone tell me where I could start to look into his records.

I thought there might be some retired airforce folk that would know the process or anyone with any ideas.

Thank you

If I do attend the Christmas Celebration at my wife's sister this year a number of her family will not want me there. I will be kept out of the discussion and made to feel like an outsider. In the past I have just kept my mouth shut and put in my time. This year I am not in a good mood and will have a harder time.

I wonder how common this is in families all over America. Is there alot of conflict on Christmas Day and isolation of outsiders, or is it all sweetness and light because it is Christmas? Tell us your stories of mean relatives who may try to isolate you at Christmas?

Word of mouth, or a specific person? Or were they mainly written works?

...If you have ever stopped believing...

Because of ancient stories, passed down from word of mouth and not written down until much, much later?

Because a person "just knows"? Because of popular opinion, or because it's the kind of thing that people want to hear?

Because the preaching of the cross is to them who do not believe, foolishness? But who wrote that? Someone who wanted to make sure that people who believed it had a defense against those who do not? To call them foolish for not believing something so ridiculous is NOT a good comeback!

Psychologically humans are capable of deeply and sincerely believing all sorts of things that aren't real...

What makes this belief different?

(Those who say the evidence for Christianity is sure, are deeply misinformed - plus Jesus says that it's foolish to look for evidence.)

I won a gift certificate for a free manicure at a very upscale spa/salon in my town. I went in the other day to have my manicure when a woman walks out of the salon to ask my nail tech a question. She then turns to me and introduces herself as the head stylist. She then proceeds to touch my hair and says "You know, I can fix that." There was nothing wrong with it. I told her I was very happy with my current stylist and that she would not be seeing me anytime soon with that sales approach. She walked off all huffy. Some time later my nail tech proceeds to talk about how she also provides skin care. She looks at my face and says "You look like you could use some help with that skin." I ignored the comment. and didn't leave a tip. Last I checked customer service meant making the customer WANT to come back, not insulting them! I did nothing to merit such treatment. What would you have done?

with all the selective editing that went into the torah and the bible not to mention the inconsistancies in both why can't we just be good stay out of each other's business? i can't get all this insanity over what a 'god' says to do.
