Religion & Spirituality - 29 December 2007

I have mixed feelings on this one. Sure, I understand parents wanting to protect their children from the myriad of negative influences in the world, and one would hope that Christian schools and universities would have considerably less of that. However, as Christians, our most important mission is the Great Commission that was given to us by Christ - that is, to preach the Word and save the unsaved. How are kids going to do this if they are kept only around other Christian kids their entire childhood and early adult lives? I totally understand wanting to protect your kids, but don't they have a responsibility as Christians to go into the world and lead people to Christ?

are commanded to bless those who hate you. I dont understand how people say Christians hate. How exactly are they hating people? If its by telling non believers about Christ how is that hate and why would that make you angry if a Christian does that is it because deep down they know the Christian is right? Please be respectful with your answers I really want to know why this is. Jesus himself said hate the sin but love the sinner and I really dont see Christians doing anything else but exactly that

Commemorating the massacre of the babies by Herod in Bethlehem
I went to Mass for all the children who have been murdered and those starved or enslaved
especially those killed by abortion
and for all the victims of abortion and what the world has lost through abortion and infanticide

I played the Coventry Carol and Why, Herod

What I mean is are they willing to stand behind that comment they express to you. Did they come to aid you in any format or is it some hidden intention that is to benifit them to make them feel good about saying that comment?

seem to have reached.
The fact that one faction fears the country slipping towards a restrictive theocracy, whilst the other fear the abandonment of their religious values.
( And both screaming loudly about their constitutional rights )
Or does the USA just create very peculiar "brands" of Christians and Atheists. Making many in other countries shake
their head and sigh in desperation "Only in America ".

For example, Zeus is like Jesus, but he's the king of other gods and goddesses like Poseidon, Aphrodite and Hermes.

Is Jesus the king of other gods and goddesses like Zeus is?

1. I am offended by "Happy Holidays" The only phrase that should be offered from Thanksgiving to New Years is "Merry Christmas" and NO OTHER.

2. I am offend by "Merry Christmas". This phrase is offensive and exclusive to people who do not celebrate Christmas.

3. I am not offended by either phrase.

4. I am not offended by either phrase, but I am offended by people who are offended by either phrase, and raise such a big stink over it. They need to get a life !

5. Other (please explain)

How long ago did you read it and did it "speak" to you?
I find it sad that a recent study shows the average adult seldom reads anymore.
The last religious book I read was Thursday Dec. 27 and it was "Devotion To The Sacred Heart"
I also loved reading "The Mass Of The Early Christians"
They were amazing.
Pax et Bonum,

My friend is Muslim and i went to her masque (?) and her dad was like, preaching, and then he said, "Do we want to become Christians? no. Do we want to become Jews? no." and I am a Christian. I'm kinda mad at my friend's dad for saying that when i was there, but my friend doesn't want me to tell any of my parents.
and if I tell my parents, they probably won't let me go to her house anymore. Should I tell my parents?

I believe it is very logical that you would ask your religion teacher how the heven look like ? Where is it ? How to go there ?

It's like a normal human shop for a car. There are question what the person has, how many mile per gallon, horse power, etc..
