    To me its happiness, non critical time, its being around family that I don'y see eye to eye with, a glass of the good stuff and every thing just rolls off the cuff, we eat , we drink and we all smile, and all the way home talk about the idiots are family really are. I love the holidays.

    No...

    The reason why I do not is because it doesn't make any sense to my mind. I find the hypocritical Christians to be funny, but they are human. I don't blame them for acting upon their nature.

    Not at all. I find them amusing (I work with a guy who does Exorcism's in his spare time!). To me, its nothing but a feel good fairy tale. Vito summed it up very well.

    What do you guys, who don't believe, have to live for? What is the meaning of it all, why are you here? Why bother with morals, ethics, good will toward men....

    Why bother?

    *talking about God, not Santa...

    No matter how many websites you direct me to, or how many creationist books my buddy's wife tries giving me, or invites to the creationist museum I get, I'll never, ever believe the earth is 7000 years old. Ever. My "faith" tells me differently.

    Is the only reason you have any of the above because you're scared of some dude damning you to hell?

    Dan, the God of the Bible gives meaning to all of the above ... He makes sense of it ... Hell had NOTHING to do with me coming to Christ ... all I did was ask God for HIS truth about Jesus ... and guess what? He did, Praise God ..

    This is probably one of the things that pisses me off the most when talking/dealing with religious folks. I can't be a good person or a nice guy because I just am? I need some fear of God to keep me on the straight & narrow? Give me a break. I'm a lot stronger than that.

    I have everything to live for (family, friends, goals to achieve, deer to kill, etc). I am, who I am. Religion has zero bearing on my life. Does that mean i'm supposed to be a scum bag criminal who punches babies?

    I wasn't asking you T. I was asking Aaron why he would think that way.

    I was just backin up my homie :D

    If Aaron was raised with God and accepted His truth, he would not be able to think outside of that ... I was outside of it ... so my answer stands....

    Before Christ I was still the swell guy that you all know and love ...just more like Vito ;)

    Christ makes sense ... God's Bible makes sense out of life .... to those that know Him ...

    I don't know. But I'm pretty sure it was not from some omnipresent being.
