When someone says "I lie but don't pretend" - what do they mean?

Can you prove that the one true God (variously known as Yaway, Allah, and by other names) does NOT exist? Please no misleading answers asserting that "you can't prove a negative" and such. Use your own imagination and you will find that it is not so.

Could they be pretending to be true Christians but are actually serving Satan (whether they are aware of it or not)?

It sounds Spanish, but what does it mean?

All else being equal, Christmas is just a much bigger deal than it used to be. People "celebrate" it for almost two months of the year when it used to be a day.

How can anyone claim that American culture really celebrates Christmas as a Christian holiday?

should that be legally acceptable, and admirable?

If one of your neighbours' children disobeyed his father, what would you say if he knowingly, gave a severe punishment to the other one?

I find it abhorrent, but I do not know about you.

Mine takes it on the first day of the week, like the Early Christians did

Acts 20:7, "Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread"

Pliny the Younger:
"..they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god...it was their custom to depart and to assemble again to partake of food—but ordinary and innocent food "

Justin the Martyr
"...On the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place...bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings...Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the day Jesus arose from the dead.."

Greetings to all those of the Islamic faith who live in N. America. You have endured much negativity and hatred over the last few years. I offer the hand of friendship and acceptance and reject all bigotry and ignorance.

Stand firm in your faith. As a prson "grounded" in Christianity I offer thanks to Islam for their wisdom, tolerance and scholarship.

Just a small greeting in a world so often filled with hatred and violence.

If you want to add your greeting please do so. Please do not use this invitation as an excuse for bigotry or negativity.

Do you think that society shapes and molds us into the people that we are today? How about a flaming guy or a butch woman? Do you think that by there mannerisms society will make them out to be gay?

This is a concept which I was introduced to some 12 years ago, thought the name of the person who came up with it escapes me all I can remember is that it was an Italian a few hundred tears ago.

The details are on my 360 blog page

Also any intelligent feed back will be welcome.

I have been studying the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. While reading several books along with the bible. Last night I picked up the bible and was reading in Mark. I read the part where the Roman soldier told Pilate that Jesus was dead. I felt such a sense of grief come over me. How should one feel about the death of Jesus? Should we feel sadness for his being killed? Should we rejoice for his giving his life to pay for our sins? Should we feel both? Any thoughts or answers to this question would be helpful. Thank You.

And why do they think that even if they did, that only inhabitants of earth are shapped perfectly and beautiful. Also if they really did exist don't you think NASA would have seen at least one evidence in space?

Most Asian parents (working class and upper class) work very hard to save their money to send their kids to good and expensive colleges.

I always want their children to get good grade and go to college to be doctors, engineers, business men.

I am Asian. When I was younger, I always heard--they are saving money for my brothers and I to do to school. We are working class. We are living in a small house. My parents have the same car for 10 years. However, my parents don't mind pay for us to go to college in America. I will have a Master Degree. My little brother will have an engineering degree.

I am just wondering what do you think? Please advice.

Sorry, English is my second language. Thank you
