Atheists do not believe in God. Can they be referred to as godless. If they do not believe in soul either, can they be soulless? Anyway, do the atheists believe in spirit whether they are good or bad?

I've noticed that a number of non-believers seem to believe that Christians are uneducated and incapable of reasoning things out for themselves. Can we have a showing of Christians that have gone to university, obtained advanced degrees, and started their own companies, or are employed in a firled that requires intelligence and critical thinking?

The "W" in Christmas

Each December, I vowed to make Christmas a calm and peaceful experience.

I had cut back on nonessential obligations - extensive card writing,
endless baking, decorating, and even overspending.

Yet still, I found myself exhausted, unable to appreciate the
precious family moments, and of course, the true meaning of
Christmas.

My son, Nicholas, was in kindergarten that year. It was an exciting season
for a six year old.

For weeks, he'd been memorizing songs for his school's "Winter Pageant."

I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd be working the night of the
production. Unwilling to miss his shining moment, I spoke with his teacher.
She assured me there'd be a dress rehearsal the morning of the
presentation.

All parents unable to attend that evening were welcome to come then.
Fortunately, Nicholas seemed happy with the compromise.

So, the morning of the dress rehearsal, I filed in ten minutes
early, found a spot on the cafeteria floor and sat down. Around the room, I
saw several other parents quietly scampering to their seats.
As I waited, the students were led into the room. Each class,
accompanied by their teacher, sat cross-legged on the floor. Then, each
group, one by one, rose to perform their song.

Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the holiday
as "Christmas," I didn't expect anything other than fun, commercial
entertainment songs of reindeer, Santa Claus, snowflakes and good cheer.

So, when my son's class rose to sing, "Christmas Love," I was slightly
taken aback by its bold title.

Nicholas was aglow, as were all of his classmates, adorned in fuzzy
mittens, red sweaters, and bright snow caps upon their heads.

Those in the front row- center stage - held up large letters, one by one,
to spell out the title of the song.

As the class would sing "C is for Christmas," a child would hold up the
letter C. Then, "H is for Happy," and on and on, until each child holding
up his portion had presented the complete message, "Christmas Love."

The performance was going smoothly, until suddenly, we noticed her; a
small, quiet, girl in the front row holding the letter "M" upside down -
totally unaware her letter "M" appeared as a "W".

The audience of 1st through 6Th graders snickered at this little one's
mistake. But she had no idea they were laughing at her, so she stood tall,
proudly holding her "W".

Although many teachers tried to shush the children, the laughter continued
until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together.

A hush came over the audience and eyes began to widen.

In that instant, we understood the reason we were there, why we celebrated
the holiday in the first place, why even in the chaos, there was a purpose
for our festivities.

For when the last letter was held high, the message read loud and clear:

"C H R I S T W A S L O V E"

And, I believe, He still is.
Amazed in His presence....humbled by His love.

Again, HAVE A BLESSED Christmas and a Happy New Year.
LOVE IN CHRIST. Miracles happen to those who believe in them.

and when survivors of some catastrophe say that God saved them, by the same logic should I conclude that the ones that aren't as lucky were ignored by God?
The boy that was born with an incurable disease, the homeless or the ones that died in hurricanes, why weren't their prayers answered?
Why is God only responsible for the good but never the bad?

Where in the bible does it say to take any medical means possible to extend your life as long as it can possibly be, even to the extent of keeping you "alive" even though you are a vegetable.
That's a long time to hold off eternal bliss.

I'm a (sceptical) Christian and i always wondered why if Jesus was a Jew, and Jesus was in fact the son of God, why aren't we all Jewish? Surely if anyone knows the correct religion, it would be the Son of God Himself?

(I'm not trying to offend anyone, don't say that i'm going to hell or that i just need to have faith, please give a logical answer as best you can.)

Yes, Islam is sufficient to deal with every problem. What we say on this subject has already been said by many people. The many conversions to Islam even in the West are a strong argument of the ability of Islam to solve a diversity of problems.
Who knows how to run a factory better than its designer and builder? When we want to get a simple electronic device to work, we consult someone about it before we use it. In the same way, He who created man knows best how both his individual and social life should be conducted. God created man, therefore the best and the most suitable system is the one that He determined and gave to mankind.


The world is moving towards a new understanding of Islam, and there is a widespread conviction that the problems which mankind has hitherto been unable to solve will be solved by Islam. If even the opponents of a person appreciate his virtues, he is indeed worthy of admiration. Today even the opponents of Islam seem to have recognized its virtues.

Why should I let other people, organizations and -things- to be between
me and God? If I pray and receive insights directly, do I need a church?
Do I need a Bible? If in fact the questions of religion and faith are
supremely important, why should I look to anything filtered through
another human being? If my soul is at stake, why not seek inspiration
and communion -directly- with the higher power? Going to churches I
didn't build, hearing sermons I didn't write, reading scripture I didn't
translate, etc. All of that risks my misunderstanding of God's purpose for
myself. If my house is in order, what do I need for anything more than
my own connection to God? Indeed, how can anyone claim to know
what's right for my soul but God?

It seems to me that communion and fellowship come from human, social urges and have nothing to with my relationship to God. None of you will be there with me when I face my death, so why should I let anyone influence my faith?
