it isn't even december yet and i already hate that commercial where the woman goes into lowes or home depot and asks for christmas ornaments using body language.

i've seen it too many times already!!!!

and it isn't working, obviously, as i can't even remember which home store it is advertising.. i like christmas - the excitement, color, lights, food, parties.

What if...

I think Joan Osborne asked the same question.

Seriously though, I don't think anyone would believe him if he fessed up to being god.

Testing what you believe

by mamochan13 in

a news editorial i read this morning regarding protests/banning of the books golden compass from the his dark materials trilogy (soon to also be a movie) got me thinking about testing faith.

these books are apparently an answer to c.s.

lewis's chronicles of narnia, presenting an athiest perspective to lewis's "overtly christian" one.. as a jw i used to like the scripture about the boreans who daily tested their faith by "carefully examining the scriptures daily to see if these things were so" acts 17:11. in retrospect now, of course, i wonder how it is possible to take that attitude and still remain a blind follower, although apparently my borean-like approach freed me!.

Funny, if any religion is so scared they they can be brought down simply by an idea or a fictional story,
then that religion should seriously consider dismantling itself or revamp their entire doctrine foundation alltogether.

The irony is that their entire doctrine foundation IS based on a fictional story.
