Religion & Spirituality - 15 November 2007

Let's face it, not everything we teach our kids is correct (at least if we're honest). So doesn't the Santa Claus myth provide a fulcrum for children at the appropriate age to disengage themselves from the ideas and mores of their parents and society and question what they've been taught? Wouldn't that be a good thing?

If so, how does it break? What I'm going through (for the past several years) I think has been more than a testing of the faith. I need relief!

This is not a joke. I am just curious how Atheists celebrate the day and handle the idea of Thanking God for something.

Everyone who accepts Jesus as their personal savior becomes a child of God. God is in three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God The Holy Spirit.

If you are a christian and you don't like them doing it then what do you do for YOUR ministry. And how does that help people like me if you feel you have the truth to everlasting life?

Jesus is going to absolve them of their sins? I was raised christian (rather lazily by my parents) but never accept that idea so christianity eventually faded away for me.

I mean no disrespect. Why do you not care to learn about the rich teachings of other philosophies like Buddhism, Taoism or Zorastorianism? Please tell me, what compels you to hold such die-hard beliefs?

Would you believe that Buddha, like Jesus, also cured impossible diseases, raised the dead, walked on water, and cast out demons?

On a serious note, I am sincerenly interested in learning about your point of view, so please respect mine. Please state your position calmly and without saying I will burn in hell. That get's both sides no-where fast.

he's so mean to me all the time.. for example: this morning I had a horrible headache (I do just about every day) and he wanted to take a nap. I asked him to please watch our one year old just long enough for it to subside and he just went off calling me lazy and a big a$s. He jerked his blanket off me and said he didn't want me to cover up my big a$s with his blanket. I told him to kiss my "big a$s" and he told me to map off an acre. This happens quite often. We're only 25. He won't sleep with me, and he's ALWAYS in a bad mood. It doesn't matter what I do. Maybe 15 mins out of the time we see each other he is decent, and that's when he's getting his way. He never wants to be intimate (it's been several weeks since we had sex and months since I've gotten anything out of it, if you know what I mean.) The only time I've noticed a change is if he gets up (he works at night) and sees that I've cleaned my butt off and the house is spotless. Then he thanks me and is decent. I just don't get

"She said the earth was only 6000 years old, and that we didn't come from apes," said my daughter.

I took care of the damage control, and had her watch Carl Sagan's narrated animation of evolution to humans from primordial soup days, but I'm concerned that she's violating the 1st ammendment on my kid.

I think I should take the morning off from work and talk to the superintendent. Any tips, legally? This is in California.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a MALE child: then she shall be unclean SEVEN DAYS; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying THIRTY THREE days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. But if she bear a FEMALE child, then she shall be unclean TWO WEEKS, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying SIXTY SIX days. (From the NIV Bible, Leviticus 12:2-5)"
First of all the Bible Is extremely unscientific , and second thing it is degrading women by saying this , If bible is the word of god how is it that it is making false claims, there is isnt a single doctor in the world who can support this statement, even christian doctors deny this.It is a proven fact that either a male or a female the period where the women is unclean is the same.
