Christmas with the family - the only way to endure it is to drink oneself into a paraletic blob.

After a little tweaking of my wicker handbasket/hutch combo, I've managed to weave myself a little sleigh, and I'm raring to try it out.

Does anybody wanna come along on yet another hell-in-a-handbasket tour? Feel free to bring your own wicker vehicles, although there may be some surprises. It IS Christmas after all.

Sunblock and bran muffins are a must. I think perhaps just bring some batter, cos it's hot enough to bake down there.

I am a christian orthodox, but for some months I've started a proper investigation about all the religions of the world... Orthodox, catholic, jewish, islamic and about another 1001 religions. All of them say they are the true one, that believing in them will bring you all kind of spiritual and material things and if we dare to move to another religion we'll suffer etc.etc.etc.... I'm just a 15 years old teenager and I'm starting to become an atheist... Could anyone tell me if I'm doing right?...sorry for y english

i'm not religious, so i doubt my prayers would count or work. so if you are religious, please could you pray for my friend. her dad died just a couple of weeks ago from cancer. she was absolutely devastated. please can you pray for her and her family to help them get through their first christmas without their dad/husband, and to help them cope as they enter the new year. please help them.

thank you.

or used for anything for that matter, just the first example i thought of.
do you think players that use it should be fined?
also, if god makes one person or group win over another, does that mean he plays favorites? isn't god supposed to love everyone equally?

Need to say: I am an atheist and have no religious agenda here. I surmise (for myself) that about 30% of all Muslims either embrace violence, or turn a deaf ear to it. Though I fully embrace religious freedom of expression... is it perhaps time to exert pressure on this particular religion that seems to tolerate violence? If you agree; how shall we do this most appropriately and in recognition of moral Muslims who eschew violence and work for peace? How do we as a society correct the corruption and blithe apathy within their ranks?

I mean, the whole concept of the Christian God revolves around unquestioning faith, praise, and servitude.

I'm not very familiar with the Christian faith but do ALL denominations of Christianity believe you are born with sin or always sin and that we are undeserving of God's love? It just sounds so bleak. I'd like to think that I'm a good person and although I don't make the BEST choices ALL the time that I will not go to hell because I said a cuss word but have not been baptised. Does that make sense? I mean I guess we don't deserve God's love, but I just don't like that some Churches make it sound like we don't deserve it and never will and no person, how hard they try, will ever be worth anything in His eyes. You know?

I think they might subconsciously think that thinking outside of one's cultural background and giving up tradition and heritage in search for the truth (which replaces what the tradition that's lost at least 5-fold) is a difficult task and they may not have the courage to do so.

As an African American Male Atheist, I am a minority of a minority. So, it is obvious I wouldn't want to bring this upon myself unless it's something I truly wanted. Atheism is so liberating to me. I can study all different cultures and learn so much wisdom from various myths without believing in them. Life is truly more enriching this way.

The thing I lose is my heritage, the religion of the slave massa was passed down to the slaves. Ever since, Christianity has been an integral part of African American culture and it encompasses almost everything. The Church is almost the backbone of my tradition and it kind of hurts to give up that part of me for the truth.

According to the Christian faith, the laws about what is unclean to eat, as enumerated and described on the Old Testament, have been cancelled for gentiles. Who was it that announced this event---chapter and verse, please.....

First of all, let me start off by saying this, I AM A CHRISTIAN 100%. I love my Savior with all of my heart and soul! God has given me the gift of evangelism, however I do not push on anyone that is not a Christian that they "WILL GO TO HELL" if they aren't saved. I show everyone the compassion, comfort, and care that Jesus Christ did. After reading several post on here, Atheist/Agnostic/ any other religous, or not religious people, does it bother you that some Christians shove "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL" down your throat?

I realize it has to do with being a Jehovah's Witness, but doesn't that sound frightening to people? Being constantly watched. I mean obviously God/ Jesus Christ will and can do that on His own. I'm just curious- searching for what religion works best with how I currently believe or what appeals the most to my spiritual being/ point of view/ self. I am attempting to be open to more religions but I find the Watchtower title to be intimidating.

I'm not religious, but I've always had a fondness for Joan of Arc. I love her story, and I share a lot of similarities with her. I liked her when I was little, but there was a big gap where I never thought about her at all. But for some unknown reason, I've taken a sudden, massive interest in her again, and can't stop thinking about her. So I decided to do a little research about saints and the catholic religion. I even went so far as to start reading the Bible out of plain curiosity. And I always thought that would be the last thing I'd do.

So I was wondering. How do YOU choose your saints? Do you have more than one? Through some rather odd dreams and contact with the spirit world, I was lead to St. Augustine of Hippo, the Blessed Damien Yamiki, and St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows. I can understand why Joan and Augustine would be my saints, but not so much the other two.

So if anyone has any suggestions for choosing saints, that would be helpful.

there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.
21I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.

I want to wish all of those of all religions and origin a Merry Christmas. I am a Muslim, but here in the US the celebration of it is more a tradition than anything to do with religion. So, I am exchanging gifts with my Christian family and I am going to spend the day with them. This time of year for very few is really about worship. At least in my city, anyway.

And another question: How will you be spending this day off of work for those of you who do work?
