you're rt. it is not actually celebrated on his actual birthday...ever known anybody who celebrated his or her b-day on a fri or sat cause it fell on a monday??? i see this all the time...
jesus was never born? do you believe in the devil?and what is the real truth sir?
please... no one really can say... as far as scientific studies go, the stories told on the bible are just like greek mythology... it never happened! it was/is just used to control people and to push a moral/political agenda...
if religion makes u happy, please go 4 it... just dont sell it as the real truth please.... not all people are that gullible
why r u coming into this thread to try and bash me and my belief's? not sure if you understand where the 'world' stands on this holiday being related to the birth of christ, which is exactly my point to the people like yourself that don't care, or don't believe. i can read, and have read many book's on both side's. i believe in the king james version of the bible and all of it's teaching's. if you do not read this, then i can understand your hatred for those that do, sad, but true. your assumption's r laughable at best, but i can respect your opinion's even if i don't agree, which differs you and i.and, today is not x-mas btw, it is only the 5th. i don't go around bashing the like's of which you stated, not my job nor my interest. you come in here bashing w anger like so many lib's are acustomed to do when confronted woth the real truth. i wish you the best and hope you have a very happy HOLYday...
Your statement's do not make any sense at all. It is easy to see why you cling to that old, antiquated relic when you cannot even match the grammar or syntax of an eight year old. BTW...the majority of the "world" doesn't believe in christ and as such has no such basis for correlating him with the holiday we celebrate on Dec 25th. I don't for a second believe you have read anything more intellectually stimulating than green eggs and ham either. Funny that you consider me a liberal too, actually I am conservative...although you probably falsely assume all conservatives are religious zealots don't you?? You can keep trolling me with your ignorance as long as you wish - I will continue to respond, as you are merely making your position seem more and more laughable.
jesus was never born? do you believe in the devil?
i don't believe i have to make you understand this because i started a thread asking a question. religion is not the same as spirituality, they differ in their respectful opinion's and practices. do you believe we breath oxygen? can you see it? how about love, can you see it? i too was very much like you at a point and time in my life. i don't think any different of you because you wish not to believe, that's fine by me. there is a percentage of those that believe in God without ever knowing him or asking any question's about him. i prefer to ask. would you ever take or have you ever taken a class and not ask at least one question to what you are being taught? i hope you enjoy all the perfect weekend's in your life that seem to suit you, after all, persuing your goal's and dream's is really none of my business and i too wish you a merry x-mas...i didnt say that sir. please dont get me wrong. I respect your beliefs. Just dont share em. A person named Jesus was probably born, i doubt he had supernatural powers but if believing in that makes u/other people/christians feeling more happy/safe thats fine.
I believe that you should pursue everything that makes u happy. If its religion. Please do it. JUST DONT SELL IT AS THE REAL TRUTH BECAUSE NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE CAN REALLY PROVE IT HAPPENED OR NOT.
Call me skeptical, until i dont see it, i dont believe it. Yes I am a liberal, it makes me happy, doesnt make me a better or worst person than u are.
If betting makes all the people in this forum happy, and they can afford it, then fuck it do it +ev or -ev, a minimum percentage of bettors are sharp. id say less than 8%, the rest are squares that just enjoy the rush
A perfect weekend for me its poker, sports, orgies, booze and rock n roll, hey im just 24, im immature, but it makes me happy, so i will do it even if its not necessarily healthy
Do what u enjoy, believe what u want, be merry... Merry xmas to you sir
what about the spirit that dwell's within these men?
spiritually damaged? this is what i am refering to. it all add's up like u have stated, bad hm life, neighborhood's, etc...can play a part in some's live's who are looking for a reason or excuse to be the way they are. take lebron james for instance, supposedly bad up bringing and such but, has choosen to try and make a better life for himself by having his faith in God to help him along the way. unlike so many other's out there that could prob be playing in the nba but choose to make bad decision's that has held them back from doing so, and while having, maybe, a belief in God also. imo, when you can practice making bad decisions for yourself and go through life struggling, you can also practice making positive decision's for yourself which may bring to you what you may desire out of life. humanity will not end itself, it will be and is up to God to do what he feel's is rt. imo of course. God has never lost, nor the one's who believe in him...many people before you have claimed the same for huanity and said it would be in their lifetime as well. are you still in college?hmmmm i wouldnt blame it on a "spirit", i would blame on several factors, being abused as a child physically, emotionally or sadly, sexually... bad neighborhoods, bad influences, too much violence at home, or just plain GREED... some men are evil cause they are mentally ill or spiritually damaged, some just like to prey on the weak... most do what they do cause they dont give a fuck
and sadly, this is the world we live in and frankly i dont think something is gonna come from heaven to save us all, humanity is practically doomed to self destroy
your ignorance toward's God is your choice, one you must live and die with....i didn't know conservatives HAD to be a religious zealot. but you claiming that you're not a liberal is nothing new to those of us that are conservatives. believe in what you must, but i do know that you will enjoy this day along w the rest of the world and the christians that live here as well....
