Hey Everyone! Crispies, pagans, heathens, wiccans, Satanists, and everybody else that believes in a god?!?
Okay, what EXACTLY is your definition of a "god or goddess"? What does it embody? What does it do? Please be specific, and no answers of it being a divine force which created everything, that's not going to cut it. I want to know what YOUR definition of a god is. Why is it important, and why should one worship it?
I have my own ideas but I thought I would get some other responses to this question.
I will pick best answer, and if I don't like any of the answers, then I will repost until I get a satisfactory statement.
Thank you!!

because they don't have health insurance?

It happens all the time, right here in America. Just a few years ago a boy in my state was denied treatment at a hospital after being bit by a poisonous snake, and died.

How is it that so many wealthy conservative Christians are against universal health coverage? If we are to follow the teachings of Jesus, shouldn't we be helping others? Instead of letting them die when we have the ability to save them, simply because they are poor?

This is my first Christmas as a single mom to three little ones, and I have been provided for by my church and friends and family in so many awesome ways. What can I do to thank one family in particular who has given us above and beyond what we ever thought possible?

You know were they good enough that if a man was publicly crucified, and then came back to life and was viewed by 500 people, would something like that have been recorded by independent (read: not the Bible) record keepers?

For comparison, does anyone know of any other recorded events around 30 A.D. in Rome/Middle east?

What is the religion "Mormon"?? I know of someone who is mormon, and I'm still REALLY confused about them. Are they Christian, or some other religion completely? Or are they a branch of Christian like Baptists? And what are their beliefs...and what sets them apart from everyone else???

Will this have any negative repercussions in later dealings with the civil authorities and such?
I just want to avoid jury duty right now, I'm too busy for jury duty--
Anybody got any experience on this?
Could my decision impact me in other situations, or maybe go on my record?

Darkness falls The Angels weep
We find ourselves bound to his feet
We pray to no avail that happiness will come
But happiness a dream for only the wicked to Succum
Goodness lies within as does happiness that follows
In the end the wicked fall and for them there is no tomorrow
Angels always fly home and God has granted a fate
The wicked must live forever with the demons they create.

Anyone not a muslim is Kuffar or going to hell. We are bad simply because we happened to be born in the USA. If your born a Jew, you are even worse I guess? They can all be different and have bad people in their religion that make it look bad. Okay! But why do you think that we should not be offened when you say we are bad? You don't even know me.
But you have judged me worthy to go to hell and suffer for an eternity. I have never learned your religion so how could I be that religion? So rather than kindly try to teach us the true religion by your way of thinking you just judge us worthy or dieing and going to hell. If we don't conform to what you want and none of us can because we are white and I think that puts us out of the muslim thing. So we are just to suffer and die.
Then you say don't judge us? do you think this is fair?
All we know of your religion is what we hear on the news.
So far none of it has been good. In Pakistan they blew up a bunch of people?

Where I live, even the Jewish, Muslim, and Pagans celebrate the holiday, whether they celebrate the birth of Jesus or not! And I do know some people from other faiths that will be celebrating December 25th.

So, why do we have to avoid saying Merry Christmas? It seems like those who worry we might offend someone want to placate a small but vocal minority?

Greetings and blessings!

The bible tells us Jesus will come in a cloud of glory and that first the dead in Christ will rise and then those alive in Christ will follow. In Matthew 24 He tells us of the signs to watch for...natural disastors all over the world increasing, wars and rumors of war...hatred and prejudice against friends and family, including patricide and incurable plagues...having been a born again Christian since 1973 and looking at the signs of today, I believe He is coming sooner than we all think...what do you think?

Evangelical Protestants and Catholics often start up Christian rock bands. Are there Mormon bands like that? Do they have CDs?

I don't mean "Frosty the Snowman..." I mean saying things about Jesus Christ....that are non-Biblical, such as
being "king of Israel." Jesus Christ was a prophet, and the messiah, and God in the flesh (to us Christians) but he was not the recognized monarch of Israel...in fact, the Jewish authorities at the time condemned him to death. As the Jews said (recorded in the Gospels) "we have no king but Caesar."

Would there be silence and there would be nothing to disagree about?
Please share your insights on Mysticism be they Christian, Jewish, Islamic or other.
