I was curious, another yahoo member asked abouth Chanakuh, the best answer is below, i was wondering who were the oppressors mentioned below?

Best Answer - Chosen By Voters
Chanukah is nothing like Christmas and has no relation to Christmas. It is essentially about triumphing over religious persecution.
It is an 8-day festival to commemorate the victory of the Maccabees in taking back the temple in Jerusalem from the oppressors.
The temple had to be cleansed, and then they only found one day's worth of sanctified oil for the menorah. That small amount of oil burned miraculously for 8 days during the time of dedication of the temple, time enough for more oil to be sanctified. Chanukah means Dedication.

Why create people as His beloved children (and in His image) and then create hidden poisons, germs, and parasites to torture them and kill them in such cruel way? Sadistic, but not intelligent.

Why submit even babies to such tortures? Incredibly cruel and stupid.

Why does so much of nature work by waste and cruelty? Wild dogs run other animals to exhaustion and then eat them slowly alive, bite after bite! A kind intelligent God?

It seems to me, looking at nature, the Old Testament painted the correct picture of a cruel, vain, vengeful and stupid God.

Let intelligent design be taught in schools. And we can then point out the incredibly stupid designs as well. If God is perfect, then even one stupidity, one imperfection, one cruelty, snuffs him out. Evolution on the oher hand, does not require perfection.

You would think he wouldn't have gone through all the trouble of planting fossils and such just to trick us into thinking the earth was more than 5000 years old. (Which of course it is.) I mean, was it Satan who did it?

In a citation essay you quote from solid sources without twisting it to your own meaning. Can you try that? Do you know what I am talking about?

I'm really interested to know. Since the creationist are so convinced that evolution and science are so completely wrong, there must be tons of worthwhile information that Intelligent Design 'Scientists'' have uncovered that can prove conclusively that 'god did it'.
I'd like to understand how they explain the origins of man, as well as just where all the species of animals on the earth have come from. Is there some sort of flow chart (or something) that demostrates how God was able to create life from clay?
Could you also point me to the evidence that shows how the extinction of certain species is a part of god's plan? Also, if you could present some evidence for why god feels the need to wipe out certain animals, that would help.
Thank you.

dont you fools know that its only a rock?

As it seems Satan is pulling tricks on us! On almost every question I ask, I get answers telling me that research, science, dinosaur bones, evolution, etc, etc are ALL tricks of Satan to make sure we will end up in Hell, because Satan's tricks will stop us from believing in God.

Bad Satan! Bad, bad Satan!

But eh, I was wondering. Why would an all-powerful God allow all this? Why would a loving God allow another Higher Power to perform magic tricks with our minds, and if we are fooled enough we will end up in Hell?

I'm not searching to have faith in this religion, I'm simply trying to figure out the logic behind it. Anybody willing to explain the logic in all this to me?

The Chief Priests called for crucifixion of Christ because they rejected him as the “Christ” (Matt. 26:68, Lk. 22:67 & 23:2, Mk. 14:61) and they repeated this rejection at what they thought was his crucifixion and mocked him as “Christ the King of Israel” (Mk. 15:32) and as “Christ” (Lk. 23:35 & 39), never as Jesus.

It was Pilate who introduced “Jesus the Christ” (Matt. 27:17 & 22) and it was Pilate who inscribed the crosses with:
“JESUS KING OF THE JEWS” (Matt. 27:37),
“THE KING OF THE JEWS” (Mk. 15:26),
“THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS” Lk. 23:38) and
“JESUS OF NAZARETH KING OF THE JEWS” (Jn. 19:19)

1. The Christ was protected, declared innocent and set free by Pilate.

2. The name “Jesus” was the invention of Pilate and was meant for the crucifixion of two thieves, unannounced.

3. The two crosses marked "Jesus" were that of two thieves and the other was unmarked and bornby Simon.

4. Christ was not crucified.

5. All of the above

I think another 500-600 years. Unless people come up with some new religion. It is clear that dark age texts wont hold up in a advanced civilization.

as you all have heard time and time again here you know everything about christmas is pagan. you all know the roman catholics wanted to separate themselves from the jewish and thought that it would be ok to put Jesus name on a pagan holiday with hopes to rope in some pagans on the way.in their efforts to make us different than the family we were adopted into when we accepted Jesus as our savior they taught us how to worship pagan gods. the bible says we will be Judged by the traditions we keep. he also said not to serve him the way others serve their gods. so if we observe days like christmas and easter we are condeming ourselves and our kids. if we are truly Chidren of God we should throw away the traditions of man and serve God free of pagan holidays and traditions. can you honestly say that God thinks it is ok to paganize his sons birthday and death? or should we reject mans way for Gods?
