I'm floored. I apparently offended someone to the core today and I've been blocked and reported. My response was genuine and heart-felt. I don't troll, and I don't hide my Q&A. Is there a way to actually respond, say you're sorry and explain yourself if you've been shut out?

Bit of a dilemma...

We aren't practicing Christians, or anything else for that matter, but we will have a tree and presents, and our 3 & 4yr old kids have learned about Santa from cartoons...

But, has the message been lost along the way?

What is Christmas to the Atheist?

How about the Atheist parent?

Thanks

Is anyone else getting annoyed with the spammers for acai berry?

Its getting on my nerves, because some people are actually taking their bad advice to heart.

Acai info is encouraged, but its no miracle!

Has anyone else noticed the christmas wreath and bible for the new icon for religion and spirituality?

New and improved, says Yahoo yes-man hourly robots?

Earth may be about 4.5 billion years old.

Mammals have roamed for 200 million years.

Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.

Humans that look like us have walked earth for 200,000yrs so far.

Intelligence (so to speak) for a fraction of that 200,000yrs.

Many believe in God or a higher power but no one has tangible proof. Belief systems have great diversity, but why?

Does anyone else see the common links?.

All of the unknowns about God or lack thereof have me thinking...

Have there have been other Gods, Apocalypses and Armageddons in the past?

Will we deny the possibility of such because we lack evidence?

(I used Wikipedia for the Earth time line.)

If heaven really exists, what percentage of people make it there?

How can any human being claim truth in knowing who and what God favors?

Does being pure, loving, and Christ-like etc guarantee a spot?

Is Hell more fun? or better armed?

Heaven or Hell. Is there a third option?

Are everyday sinners tossed in with the murderers and child molesters?

Why are we supposed to blindly accept that Jesus Christ died for our sins? Aren't we responsible for our own?

If you ask your Pastor if God requires true Christians to keep the Ten Commandments, you may get a response about being saved by grace, or that the Ten Commandments are a good moral guide but that you "don’t have to keep them since you are saved by grace." There is confession of sins also.

How can Christians call themselves so and not try to live like Christ?

I'm a non-denominational spiritual person and I've been awakened. Is there a process to make my meditation sessions more productive? Or can something that would encourage me to follow through when I do recieve information? I don't follow any established riuals or use props yet. The signs that its time for me to meditate seem to be jitters, itchy ears and light sensiivity. If possible, I turn off lights, lay down, close my eyes, let my ears ring, and start thinking about issues that need attention. Sometimes I see colors and lights but I can't determine who/what/why/etc. Overall, this method has scratched the surface of successful, but it seems too elementary. Is there anything else I can do? I feel like there is a lot of untapped potential in me. Thank you
