What grounds do you have for denying the existence of Santa that doesn't also apply to your religous beliefs?

someone answered a question today- "I am not a Christian, but a bible believer- and in the bible there is nothing that says that there is eternal torment." Just interested to see if anyone can come up with chapter and verse. I can guarantee you it is not there.

When taking a standardized test, applying for something, or wahtever else would require anyone to know your race, religion, or gender... Do you ever feel as if the world simply doesn't recognize the group you belong to?

Should I celebrate?

to christianize and celebrate the Jewish holidays, rather than christianizing and celebrating the Pagan holidays, since christianity is rooted in Judaism anyway? I'm not saying there is anything biblically wrong with celebrating holidays like Christmas, because there really isn't, but in my opinion, it would make much more sense to christianize Jewish holidays and celebrate them, because those holidays are already pointing to Jesus as Messiah, whereas, paganism has NOTHING to do with Jesus as messiah.

I wish christians would look into how the Jewish holidays are prophetic in nature, pointing to Jesus as Messiah. I mean, as Gentiles, the bible says our job is to make the Jews jealous. I'm sorry, but, celebrating paganism is not making them jealous. It's making them not want to touch christianity with a ten foot pole. The Jews are repulsed by paganism. BUt, if we were to, as a whole, christianize and celebrate the Jewish holidays, maybe then Jews would see the true meanings.

One of the common criticisms against Christianity from the atheist is that Christians do not think for themselves but take too much on external authority — that is, the authority of Scripture.

I would like to ask such a person how he knows that the earth revolves around the sun, how he knows there are millions of galaxies, how he knows that Uzbekistan really exists, or that he has kidneys, or that Constantine was ever Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, or that there was a Holy Roman Empire, or that pi equals 3.14159.

if no, then His perfectless is more plausable
if yes, then His parents are very righteous and instructive

if no, then He had the memory, but not the power of the priesthood untill the Law(s) was fulfilled. [like age, and laying on of hands, ect.]
if yes, then He lifted it line by line?

I am a database developer who sits in section of six cubicles joined together like a honey comb.

This woman in her mid 20's, talks valley-girl speak a mile a minute on the phone frequently, and 75% of her calls are personal, involving drama - she's mad at one of her girlfriends, and is telling one of her other friends - this goes on all day.

I have the type of job I really need to focus - every project is in some way new and very challenging.

She was gone friday afternoon, and my productivity went through the roof. Is there something abnormal about me, that I can't hang with this gal ? Is there something I can do to focus ? This goes on all day - I'm a former temp who was converted to full-time recently, and I don't want to complain as a new employee

if prayer was allowed in schools,would that include prayer for all the different beliefs or just for the group that has the most members in the school.
If the school had christians, jews, muslims, pagans, satanist, buddhist etc...would all of them be allowed to pray in their special way or would this bring out more conflicts from the parents that don't want their children to know about other prayer and religion that isn't their own.
