My mother always said, dont put all of your eggs in one basket is that true and what exactly does the mean?

quite literally, if you put all your eggs in one basket and things go crash, there's a good chance every piece would break. so...





other ways to put it are:





hedge your bets


split and limit your risks


leave some for insuranceMy mother always said, dont put all of your eggs in one basket is that true and what exactly does the mean?
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.My mother always said, dont put all of your eggs in one basket is that true and what exactly does the mean?
DON'T PUT ALL OF YOUR HOPES AND AMBITION IN ONE DREAM....





SPREAD THEM AROUND..IF YOU LIMIT YOURSELF


YOU WILL CRASH AND BURN.
She is quoting the old wives tale - the basic premise being that you should not pin all your hopes on one things - but rather diversify. Set several goals and work toward them independently and that way if one fails, you have others to work with.
Well, if you have all of your eggs in one basket, and you drop the basket, then you're SOL. If put some of your eggs in one basket and some in another, then your chances of keeping the eggs intacted are better. It's just a phrase that means that you shouldn't rely on just one method or one way of doing something. You could get burned
dont try to do eveything at once

I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?

No, polling has showed that the majority of all Americans find FOX News to ACTUALLY be the most fair and balanced news network out there. True, they lean to the right, but most moderates find that they lean much less to the right than say...MSNBC or the NYT lean to the left. So, while balance is usually the key, if you are happy with the news content you are getting, then by all means, enjoy.I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?
No.





Some democrats dont want propaganda. And the fact is Foxnews is the ONLY news network that talks to BOTH liberals and conservatives to give BOTH viewpoints. They dont believe in silencing anyone but having ideas compete.





Liberals have up on giving the opposition a voice a long time ago. They have become cheerleaders and are invested in 1 party.I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?
No, it means that you are a Democrat that decided to get news, not slants. If you watch the opinion shows then you know you are listening to opinion. If I watch NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC etc. I know that they are passing opinion off as news.
If this is true, you are probably either a Southern Democrat or you don't let the media (in general) think for you.. rather that you have the ability to question that which is presented to you
no, it's just confusing that you would watch that channel with all the smearing they do of democrats/liberals.





but, to each his own.
It means you are open-minded.





Most of the Lefties here, think it's propaganda........





they like to regurgitate Liberal talking points, without finding out for themselves.
Not at all, it just means you are an uninformed democrat.
There is nothing wrong with getting all sides, but where do you get the truth from, FOX? Are you kidding.
More Democrats and independents watch Fox news then Republicans
No, that means you are under sedatives...
It means you're not truly informed.
not at all.. news is news...





it is the opinion pieces run on FOX that are jokes...
It means your head was not put on right.
Of course not.
Not at all ... but where do you get reality ?

If the multiverse hypothesis is true, does that mean there's a god for each universe?

Does that mean that there is one of me in each universe? oh wait i am real i forgot.If the multiverse hypothesis is true, does that mean there's a god for each universe?
according to the Bible God lives in a different universe..If the multiverse hypothesis is true, does that mean there's a god for each universe?
it depends on your definition of ';God';
either that or that G-d is multi-dimentional
There are many ';gods'; that rule over different planes of existence, but only one Supreme Deity.
No, individuality is a concept that exists only in this universe.

Dozens of prophecies that the world wouldn't end today have now come true, does this mean...?




That we have to write an Even Newer Testament now?


Dozens of prophecies that the world wouldn't end today have now come true, does this mean...?
damn, it's not going to happen! And i told my boss to go f**k himself and everything!


What a wasteDozens of prophecies that the world wouldn't end today have now come true, does this mean...?
The end of one end of the world is the beginning of the next end of the world.





See you all in 2012.
Like I Have Said Before, ';I Would Like to Know the Date of the Day After the Predicted 'End of the World', So I Can Breath a Sigh of Relief';.
Totally. Written entirely by cynics. Who predict that nothing interesting is ever going to happen, and wouldn't believe it if it did XD
It means NOTHING according to the Prophecies the end of the world is dated for 12 21 2012
Some how i doubt ';scientists'; would have said today, more like ';billions of years';.





Better success rate then describing someones birth in detail and being right?
Whoa now, let's not jump to conclusions. Let's at least try to end the world one more time before we resort to those extreme measures.
Prophecies of the end of the world not coming true is a sure sign of The End Times. It is written!
No. I also said that does that make me a prophet I think not.
No one knows when Jesus is coming back,not even Jesus Only God knows.
Name some if you can.
Hey, the day isn't over, buddy. It could still happen :P
no!
no we must convert to some other religon

Why are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?

in america it means santaaa.


lol and buying as much as you canWhy are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?
The stores are not worried about Jesus Christ, as it's 2008 and the majority of people ARE NOT CONCERNED about JC. So now, the true meaning of christmas is money... not jesus christ. its all about presents, consumers spendning money, and kids complaining that they didn't get enoguhWhy are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?
No, the true meaning isn't Jesus Christ. I'm not a Christian, but I celebrate the holiday commonly referred to as ';Christmas';. Christmas is very much a material holiday, whether we like it or not. And this year, a lot of people are watching their pennies and won't be spending as much.
What do stores have to do with Jesus Christ? They just want to make money. Duh.
Your kidding, right?
That would be for churches to complain about. For stores, they want to make sales, so they would complain about down sales.
true, but then againg, some of the stores are not christian


dont forget that


but overall, the holydays are to be with family and be greatful for what we have, not material possessions
Faith is one thing, and economics is another. Of course, this doesn't mean that faith shouldn't influence how you handle economics.





In American culture, Christmas sales can make about one-quarter of a store's yearly sales. Therefore, the stores need to do well at Christmastime. Now, you can see this as an unhealthy way to run the marketplace, and I agree with you. Dependence upon Christmas sales have led to the overcommercialization of Christmas.





It's up to individuals like you and me to keep the spiritual meaning of Christmas above the material. Gift are good, but be wise about your gift-giving. Don't give gifts you can't afford to people you don't care much about. Give some of your gifts to the poor. Give wisely to your family and friends, whether this entails expensive stuff or not. (Remember the gift Mary of Bethany gave to Jesus? Expensive gifts are sometimes appropriate.)





Society will not change its materialistic attitude toward Christmas unless individuals change, and influence their near and dear.

Unplug the Christmas Machine!

Um no.. its actually originally a pagan holiday.. christians ruin everything
American's spend approx 450 billion each year during the Christmas season. It would cost 10 billion to make clean water available to everyone in the world.

For shops, the true meaning of Christmas is making lots of money.
no the true meaning of christmas is money
Um, because stores exist to make money, I suppose.
Christmas is about Christ, stores are about $$profits$$
Yes, but with all holidays there is a commercial aspect. Surprisingly Xmas is NOT the number one revenue maker of all the holidays.


I have heard people of simple minds say: ';Christmas is for children.'; With that comment they are clearly referring to the gift giving aspect of the holiday. I find this more absurd than the commercialization itself because these people have become so influenced by the retail aspect of Xmas that they have totally lost touch with the true origins of the day.


That said, I like the idea of giving on this holiday. It seems to bring the best out of - almost - all people; and it does represent - although very loosely - the gifts of the Maji.
No, christmas is just a pagan holiday hijacked by the christians.
And why would stores be concerned about the true meaning of Christmas?





Now if churches were complaining about the down sales for Christmas...then that would be an interesting question.
Christmas was set up by the Catholic church to coincide with many Pagan rituals and traditions and it is not correct re: time; Jesus never said to celebrate His birth, although I'm thankful to God He was born, died and rose again





It has become a time of greed and for some depression and lonliness etc;





Jesus asked us to keep one ceremony, the communion in remembrance of Him
Jesus Christ Shmesus Shmrist who gives a holy crap.
That depends on if your christian. Some of us don't celebrate Jesus.





Christmas is the time of year where any store that is in the red will get into the black (thats how black Friday came along). Since our economy is down, this season is a sure signal of whether or not we are going to get as bad as many people beleive.
Not with our society.
Most stores are seperate from religion.
Christmas was never about Jesus.
Well...Christmas as actually a Pagan holiday before Christians came along.





But yes, you are right. Christmas has become nothing more than a day for businesses to make money. It's sad really.
I think for different people christmas means different things. for christians it is Jesus, for athiests perhaps it is the gifts, and for stores it's about how much they can boost their sales.
Not for me and my family. It's turkey and presents day ... family and unity day ... love and sharing day. Sorry you didn't get the memo. You can't steal christmas from the rest of us like you did from the Pagans. Nice try.
Yes it is! But not all store owners are Christians so they don't care about the true meaning of Christmas, many probably just like Christmas because of all the money people spend in the Christmas season.
yes we can
Yes, the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ but many shops exploit this to gain a profit. Unfortunately for them, in heaven material possessions don't matter!
AMEN!!! We should stop all the buying and focus on Jesus!

  • What do u mean by true love and do u believe in love at first sight ???

    true love is that you really love her and you wont cheat on her. and love at first sight is so wrong. i mean, you might even know if she has a diesease or something.What do u mean by true love and do u believe in love at first sight ???
    LMAO ... if sight is the deciding factor then its attraction; liking what you see.





    If sight were a factor then what do blind ppl do? Feel ya up till they ';fall in love'; (i.e. ';Those are some pretty nice lumps n curves ya got there lets get married';) LOLWhat do u mean by true love and do u believe in love at first sight ???
    I fell in love at first sight only she didnt. Bummer!

    What does life mean, in true sense ?

    According to Vonnegut the meaning of life is to love whoever is around to be loved. (Care for those you see suffering and everything else will work itself out)What does life mean, in true sense ?
    Are you asking for the meaning of life? Ask Monty Python!What does life mean, in true sense ?
    A burden is upon you when you're born. It is not felt, not bothered about, but when you're maturing, it becomes more prominent. Which sucks.


    That's why we should all grab a coupla booze and drink to a lousy life.
    Life means what you want it to mean. It is an individual choice. You are the one who takes from it what you want. It can be filled with beauty, and ugliness. I do believe that the environment you were raised in will play a major role on what you feel life means. We all are learning machines.If you have learned love...your life will incorporate those feelings and expand to all of those you touch...if your learned hatred, the opposite will occur.


    Life will be to you an accumulation of all you have learned. I guess I believe life is a learning experience for us all. I think we need to rise above the bad things and do something, anything for someone other than ourselves. We need to do it for them. Not for any other reason. It is a stretching of our soul's muscles. Hope this wasn't just meanderings...and it made a little sense!
    all of the above
    rays!





    ofcourse can along!
    Life is a test to see if we are capable of avoiding sinfull actions.
    life is the course of existance for each individual living being animals or humans. There are 7 stages in life conception birth, childhods, adolesence, adulthood, old age and death,.





    We are given life to create life, life is just a cycle that will continue as long as has nature has intended it to last.





    hope this helps x x x
    certainly a hard question to answer....
    LOVE
    Cant really discribe
    who started the life?


    God surely


    and why he started the life?


    only because love


    think on urself and today how we came here from the start point?


    how life started on earth?





    ur question is confusing :D
    It would mean, watsoever meaning u give it...


    WATER takes the shape of the glass....


    U give life a meaning , and its wat it is in any sense.. true or no..
    my life is to save as many people as i can from degenerative deaises, war, sin, famines, to give my children what no other has giving them, hope, by improving my nutrition i improve my unconcetived childrens chances of helping the earth and having excellent health. dont drink, smoke or do drugs, stay off fast food.
    Life is a knowledge of existence what you make of it and where you take it is the question.
    life is love..to live..
    life is a play of God, in which the play itself is God, the player himself is God and the playfield is also God...

    My dream came true! What does this mean?

    Last year i had a dream my grandad died and six months later he did. I recently have been having dreams about differend family member and in my dreams they are dead and i am always crying in the dreams or at the funeral and it worries me when i wake up. One night i had two seperate dreams that two family members had died. Does any one know what these dreams could mean??My dream came true! What does this mean?
    you know they do have books on dreams may help to understand what you have dreamt about..i have a book on dreams to help me understand them better...hope this helps..My dream came true! What does this mean?
    your worried about ur family. its normal. people die. no fighting it. sometimes we overthink it and dream about it. i think its our minds way of prepareing for the actual blow(also it tends to happen to people who rarely see their family). try to think about happy times with your family.
    It's hard to tell you


    this dream seems to me will happen, because you had other dreams that happened


    I hope this is not happen because they are your families


    most of these types of dreams means long life
    see every one die now or then .one day you will have a dream that you will also die and it will come TURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If my boyfriend says to me that he wants to be with me, that we will try,then what does it mean..is he true?

    what does it mean,does it mean that he loves me. if he says i want to be we will try wht does it mean. i am asking this question because maybe i understood him wrong, i just need to know if he kept on playing with my feelings.guys i need to know when will u say to a girl that i want to be with u..tht we will try..i also want to be with u ..thanks frnds.do reply.If my boyfriend says to me that he wants to be with me, that we will try,then what does it mean..is he true?
    this show the guy full attension towards to you, but if he get satsified by stay with you, then he will start look in other direction.If my boyfriend says to me that he wants to be with me, that we will try,then what does it mean..is he true?
    he means that he wants to be with you


    and that he will try to STAY with you


    like


    hes sayin


    i want to be with you


    and ill try (TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN)


    sorry its caps but i needed something different





    any who


    dont worry about it


    he is sayin that he will try to make that happen


    he loves you!


    dont freak! :)
    It means he likes you. Not loves. And that he wants to try a relationship although he just wants to see where it will end up, he doesn't expect it to be a soul mate relationship, although he's probably hopping it will.
    It depends on him. They are all different, some would say this just to ease things at the moment, some would say this in all honesty. Just depends on him and how well you know him.
    shirley


    please don't take SEX as too much because it just a small felling of love. but if your BF is just putting a condition between you and him so please avoid him coz i think love is unconditional
    It means he wants to be with uu he wasnts to try it and see how it works
    He sounds uncertain...because usually when someone really wants to be with you they wouldn't say 'we will try'.
    your boyfriend actually does not like you he just wants to try you nothing else..


    he is not true..this is according to me.


    if you guys have been alone before you know how he has behaved with you..

    What do u mean by true friend?

    These things are better realised from personal experience. I'm sure that you already have a fair idea in your mind about a true friend much before you posted this question here. You must have friends. So, even with average intelligence, you surely know who amongst them, if any, are true friends. You don't need to be supplied with any definitions from this forum.What do u mean by true friend?
    *many people will walk in n out of ur life,


    but only true friends will leave footprints in ur heart.


    *one who loses money,loses more,


    but one who loses a true friend loses much more.


    *true friend is like four leaf clovers,hard to find ,lucky to have.


    *true friend is the one who knows the song in ur heart,


    and can sing it back to u if u have forgotten the words.


    *in this world a true friend can be one person but


    for someone true friend may be the world.


    *a true friend is always faithful to u even during the bad times.


    *a true friend is always there for u wen u need someone to hug.


    *a true friend is also devoted to ur friendship n will never do anythin to destroy it.


    *true friendship improves happiness n abates misery,


    by the doubling of our joys n the dividing of our griefs.What do u mean by true friend?
    a friend in need is a friend in deed. gold does not need any advertisement.
    had a true friend no wants a mirror
    he/she should be like you.
    Which are just one call or one mail away from you.
    You laugh when they laugh, you cry when they cry. You love them unconditionally. You would die for them, and you KNOW they would do the same for you.
    One's soul.
    True friends are like red roses which evone like but few get.


    What I can say is that


    I think of a friend,


    A friend,


    I'll call my friend.


    A friend knows my heart as,


    Body its soul,


    flower its seeds.





    These are the starting lines of one of my poems.


    Well just a little concept of a true frind.


    It is impossible for me to explain completely what a true friend is.
    someone i can always rely on i never have to ? if they are a true friend its just one of those things you know
    a true friend is someone u can share all ur secrets with...a true friend is the one who is with u in ur good as well as bad times......a true friend is the one u can rely upon.....a true friend is the one who can even understand ur silence....
    for me finding a true firend is too much difficult.but for me true friend is the one who cares u a lot .when u cry he or she will wipe ur tears.and when u r happy he will makes ur happines more happier.and he will always there to help u.just go and find a true friend.
    a TRUE FRIEND MEANS another you.

    Just because you or I cannot comprehend something, does that mean it can't be true or real?

    Hell no. But once someone begins to make definitive claims about the incomprehensible, we have the right to challenge them. (For ex. ';God doesn't like when you...';)Just because you or I cannot comprehend something, does that mean it can't be true or real?
    No it doesn't. I cannot picture one billion dollars, can't imagine what it would look like or what the amount would buy but I know its real.Just because you or I cannot comprehend something, does that mean it can't be true or real?
    ';you don't see it until you see it';








    How little we know!
    1000 years ago the a computer was uncomprehendable


    100 years ago a man going to the moon was uncomprehendable.





    Anything we comprehend is just the tip of the iceburg.
    What about if you can comprehend something I cannot? or vice versa? does that mean we exist in slightly different universes? where our own comprehension reigns supreme? or is there a universal truth somewhere one must discover and accept?





    I know my answer to this. Do you know yours?
    sure it just mean you do not have the brain capacity to obserb and accept ...
    The inverse of your question is also true.





    for example: I once comprehended that Pluto was the ninth planet in our solar system.





    The search for intelligent life continues among those that love their version of the Matrix. How far down the rabbit hole of knowledge are you willing to follow?
    You ask a very interesting question.


    Firstly a distinciton mys be made between if just me and you can't comprehend it - in which case someone else can, and that can be very real.


    However, if it cannot be comprehended at all, it means that according to our (perhaps limited) logic it doesnt make sense.
    i dont comprehend how the universe was formed, but there is strong evidence that it was.
    before answering i had a look through the answers you have with the hope that no one would mention religion. but they did.


    what a let down. anyway, i have to say what do the religious ones say about this question? scientists manage to prove the target of their quests, we know the world and the universe exists, we know nature exists - so where do the religious people go from here as they have no real evidence whatsoever?


    and before they angrily respond i ask - where's the evidence.
    NO. Can you comprehend love? But is it real?
    I cannot comprehend your religion, you cannot comprehend mine, and they cannot comprehend ours. But you believe in your religion, and when you do, you admit that it is real and true for you.
    No, you just put it down to a higher spritual being (easy way out) or try and work out what the heck is really happening (scientific way).
    no, cause then war ,which in completely comprhensible to me, as well as, advanced calculus would not exist,be true or real.





    ignorance does not change reality, just one's perception of reality.
    No, but just because somebody describes something imaginary as ';incomprehensible'; doesn't mean it's not imaginary.
    Reality and truth are totally based on your perception of them. It depends on how you look at things or how you feel about them. You and another person could be looking or experiencing the exact same thing but it could still be different for both of you. So if YOU can't understand it, your mind isn't ready for that possible truth or reality, and it stays somewhere in that gray area.
    I can't comprehend how electricity works but I know that it is real. Because we don't comprehend something, it still can be real.
    I can't comprehend Quantum physics...it's real though.
    No it doesn't mean it isn't true or real. There are many things we can't comprehend, that science tells us is real. Most people with little minds like us can't comprehend it, but they say it is real.
    No, it may be more of a reflection of my or your ability to understand.
    Architectual concepts of the tensile strength of materials was a concept far beyond our prehistoric counterparts.





    Despite being beyond their comprehension they still used the knowledge for making vine rope and such (with as high a tensile strength as they could fashion). Accepting it as true is part of the way to knowledge. You must then further analyse it to truely comprehend it. Otherwise we would STILL be using vine rope and have no idea that steels tensile strength is FAR superior.





    I suspect this question is feeding ammunition for a debate about God so I will add this. Can you further analyse it? Can you prove it true? Or most important of all can you demonstrate it? The existance of all is not a demonstration. Point me to the sky and show me God forming a star... THATS a demonstration. Even a talking burning bush could suffice... not as cool though

    How little we know!
    1000 years ago the a computer was uncomprehendable


    100 years ago a man going to the moon was uncomprehendable.





    Anything we comprehend is just the tip of the iceburg.
    What about if you can comprehend something I cannot? or vice versa? does that mean we exist in slightly different universes? where our own comprehension reigns supreme? or is there a universal truth somewhere one must discover and accept?





    I know my answer to this. Do you know yours?
    sure it just mean you do not have the brain capacity to obserb and accept ...
    The inverse of your question is also true.





    for example: I once comprehended that Pluto was the ninth planet in our solar system.





    The search for intelligent life continues among those that love their version of the Matrix. How far down the rabbit hole of knowledge are you willing to follow?
    You ask a very interesting question.


    Firstly a distinciton mys be made between if just me and you can't comprehend it - in which case someone else can, and that can be very real.


    However, if it cannot be comprehended at all, it means that according to our (perhaps limited) logic it doesnt make sense.
    i dont comprehend how the universe was formed, but there is strong evidence that it was.
    before answering i had a look through the answers you have with the hope that no one would mention religion. but they did.


    what a let down. anyway, i have to say what do the religious ones say about this question? scientists manage to prove the target of their quests, we know the world and the universe exists, we know nature exists - so where do the religious people go from here as they have no real evidence whatsoever?


    and before they angrily respond i ask - where's the evidence.
    NO. Can you comprehend love? But is it real?
    I cannot comprehend your religion, you cannot comprehend mine, and they cannot comprehend ours. But you believe in your religion, and when you do, you admit that it is real and true for you.
    No, you just put it down to a higher spritual being (easy way out) or try and work out what the heck is really happening (scientific way).
    no, cause then war ,which in completely comprhensible to me, as well as, advanced calculus would not exist,be true or real.





    ignorance does not change reality, just one's perception of reality.
    No, but just because somebody describes something imaginary as ';incomprehensible'; doesn't mean it's not imaginary.
    Reality and truth are totally based on your perception of them. It depends on how you look at things or how you feel about them. You and another person could be looking or experiencing the exact same thing but it could still be different for both of you. So if YOU can't understand it, your mind isn't ready for that possible truth or reality, and it stays somewhere in that gray area.
    I can't comprehend how electricity works but I know that it is real. Because we don't comprehend something, it still can be real.
    I can't comprehend Quantum physics...it's real though.
    No it doesn't mean it isn't true or real. There are many things we can't comprehend, that science tells us is real. Most people with little minds like us can't comprehend it, but they say it is real.
    No, it may be more of a reflection of my or your ability to understand.
    Architectual concepts of the tensile strength of materials was a concept far beyond our prehistoric counterparts.





    Despite being beyond their comprehension they still used the knowledge for making vine rope and such (with as high a tensile strength as they could fashion). Accepting it as true is part of the way to knowledge. You must then further analyse it to truely comprehend it. Otherwise we would STILL be using vine rope and have no idea that steels tensile strength is FAR superior.





    I suspect this question is feeding ammunition for a debate about God so I will add this. Can you further analyse it? Can you prove it true? Or most important of all can you demonstrate it? The existance of all is not a demonstration. Point me to the sky and show me God forming a star... THATS a demonstration. Even a talking burning bush could suffice... not as cool though

    She is quoting the old wives tale - the basic premise being that you should not pin all your hopes on one things - but rather diversify. Set several goals and work toward them independently and that way if one fails, you have others to work with.
    Well, if you have all of your eggs in one basket, and you drop the basket, then you're SOL. If put some of your eggs in one basket and some in another, then your chances of keeping the eggs intacted are better. It's just a phrase that means that you shouldn't rely on just one method or one way of doing something. You could get burned

    I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?

    No, polling has showed that the majority of all Americans find FOX News to ACTUALLY be the most fair and balanced news network out there. True, they lean to the right, but most moderates find that they lean much less to the right than say...MSNBC or the NYT lean to the left. So, while balance is usually the key, if you are happy with the news content you are getting, then by all means, enjoy.I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?
    No.





    Some democrats dont want propaganda. And the fact is Foxnews is the ONLY news network that talks to BOTH liberals and conservatives to give BOTH viewpoints. They dont believe in silencing anyone but having ideas compete.





    Liberals have up on giving the opposition a voice a long time ago. They have become cheerleaders and are invested in 1 party.I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?
    No, it means that you are a Democrat that decided to get news, not slants. If you watch the opinion shows then you know you are listening to opinion. If I watch NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC etc. I know that they are passing opinion off as news.
    If this is true, you are probably either a Southern Democrat or you don't let the media (in general) think for you.. rather that you have the ability to question that which is presented to you
    no, it's just confusing that you would watch that channel with all the smearing they do of democrats/liberals.





    but, to each his own.
    It means you are open-minded.





    Most of the Lefties here, think it's propaganda........





    they like to regurgitate Liberal talking points, without finding out for themselves.
    Not at all, it just means you are an uninformed democrat.
    There is nothing wrong with getting all sides, but where do you get the truth from, FOX? Are you kidding.
    More Democrats and independents watch Fox news then Republicans
    No, that means you are under sedatives...
    It means you're not truly informed.
    not at all.. news is news...





    it is the opinion pieces run on FOX that are jokes...
    It means your head was not put on right.
    Of course not.
    Not at all ... but where do you get reality ?

    If the multiverse hypothesis is true, does that mean there's a god for each universe?

    Does that mean that there is one of me in each universe? oh wait i am real i forgot.If the multiverse hypothesis is true, does that mean there's a god for each universe?
    according to the Bible God lives in a different universe..If the multiverse hypothesis is true, does that mean there's a god for each universe?
    it depends on your definition of ';God';
    either that or that G-d is multi-dimentional
    There are many ';gods'; that rule over different planes of existence, but only one Supreme Deity.
    No, individuality is a concept that exists only in this universe.

    Why are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?

    no the true meaning of christmas is moneyWhy are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?
    Christmas is about Christ, stores are about $$profits$$Why are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?
    Yes it is! But not all store owners are Christians so they don't care about the true meaning of Christmas, many probably just like Christmas because of all the money people spend in the Christmas season.
    Your kidding, right?
    American's spend approx 450 billion each year during the Christmas season. It would cost 10 billion to make clean water available to everyone in the world.





    http://rethinkingchristmas.com/
    Um no.. its actually originally a pagan holiday.. christians ruin everything
    Yes, but with all holidays there is a commercial aspect. Surprisingly Xmas is NOT the number one revenue maker of all the holidays.


    I have heard people of simple minds say: ';Christmas is for children.'; With that comment they are clearly referring to the gift giving aspect of the holiday. I find this more absurd than the commercialization itself because these people have become so influenced by the retail aspect of Xmas that they have totally lost touch with the true origins of the day.


    That said, I like the idea of giving on this holiday. It seems to bring the best out of - almost - all people; and it does represent - although very loosely - the gifts of the Maji.
    Not for me and my family. It's turkey and presents day ... family and unity day ... love and sharing day. Sorry you didn't get the memo. You can't steal christmas from the rest of us like you did from the Pagans. Nice try.
    Not with our society.
    Well...Christmas as actually a Pagan holiday before Christians came along.





    But yes, you are right. Christmas has become nothing more than a day for businesses to make money. It's sad really.
    No, the true meaning isn't Jesus Christ. I'm not a Christian, but I celebrate the holiday commonly referred to as ';Christmas';. Christmas is very much a material holiday, whether we like it or not. And this year, a lot of people are watching their pennies and won't be spending as much.
    in america it means santaaa.


    lol and buying as much as you can
    That would be for churches to complain about. For stores, they want to make sales, so they would complain about down sales.
    No, christmas is just a pagan holiday hijacked by the christians.
    yes we can
    true, but then againg, some of the stores are not christian


    dont forget that


    but overall, the holydays are to be with family and be greatful for what we have, not material possessions
    I think for different people christmas means different things. for christians it is Jesus, for athiests perhaps it is the gifts, and for stores it's about how much they can boost their sales.
    Um, because stores exist to make money, I suppose.
    What do stores have to do with Jesus Christ? They just want to make money. Duh.
    Christmas was never about Jesus.
    Jesus Christ Shmesus Shmrist who gives a holy crap.
    That depends on if your christian. Some of us don't celebrate Jesus.





    Christmas is the time of year where any store that is in the red will get into the black (thats how black Friday came along). Since our economy is down, this season is a sure signal of whether or not we are going to get as bad as many people beleive.
    The stores are not worried about Jesus Christ, as it's 2008 and the majority of people ARE NOT CONCERNED about JC. So now, the true meaning of christmas is money... not jesus christ. its all about presents, consumers spendning money, and kids complaining that they didn't get enoguh
    Most stores are seperate from religion.
    Christmas was set up by the Catholic church to coincide with many Pagan rituals and traditions and it is not correct re: time; Jesus never said to celebrate His birth, although I'm thankful to God He was born, died and rose again





    It has become a time of greed and for some depression and lonliness etc;





    Jesus asked us to keep one ceremony, the communion in remembrance of Him
    Faith is one thing, and economics is another. Of course, this doesn't mean that faith shouldn't influence how you handle economics.





    In American culture, Christmas sales can make about one-quarter of a store's yearly sales. Therefore, the stores need to do well at Christmastime. Now, you can see this as an unhealthy way to run the marketplace, and I agree with you. Dependence upon Christmas sales have led to the overcommercialization of Christmas.





    It's up to individuals like you and me to keep the spiritual meaning of Christmas above the material. Gift are good, but be wise about your gift-giving. Don't give gifts you can't afford to people you don't care much about. Give some of your gifts to the poor. Give wisely to your family and friends, whether this entails expensive stuff or not. (Remember the gift Mary of Bethany gave to Jesus? Expensive gifts are sometimes appropriate.)





    Society will not change its materialistic attitude toward Christmas unless individuals change, and influence their near and dear.





    Recommended book:


    Unplug the Christmas Machine!


    http://www.amazon.com/Unplug-Christmas-M鈥?/a>



    And why would stores be concerned about the true meaning of Christmas?





    Now if churches were complaining about the down sales for Christmas...then that would be an interesting question.
    For shops, the true meaning of Christmas is making lots of money.
    Yes, the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ but many shops exploit this to gain a profit. Unfortunately for them, in heaven material possessions don't matter!
    AMEN!!! We should stop all the buying and focus on Jesus!

    It's hard to tell you


    this dream seems to me will happen, because you had other dreams that happened

    Anything we comprehend is just the tip of the iceburg.
    What about if you can comprehend something I cannot? or vice versa? does that mean we exist in slightly different universes? where our own comprehension reigns supreme? or is there a universal truth somewhere one must discover and accept?





    I know my answer to this. Do you know yours?
    sure it just mean you do not have the brain capacity to obserb and accept ...
    The inverse of your question is also true.





    for example: I once comprehended that Pluto was the ninth planet in our solar system.





    The search for intelligent life continues among those that love their version of the Matrix. How far down the rabbit hole of knowledge are you willing to follow?
    You ask a very interesting question.


    Firstly a distinciton mys be made between if just me and you can't comprehend it - in which case someone else can, and that can be very real.


    However, if it cannot be comprehended at all, it means that according to our (perhaps limited) logic it doesnt make sense.
    i dont comprehend how the universe was formed, but there is strong evidence that it was.
    before answering i had a look through the answers you have with the hope that no one would mention religion. but they did.


    what a let down. anyway, i have to say what do the religious ones say about this question? scientists manage to prove the target of their quests, we know the world and the universe exists, we know nature exists - so where do the religious people go from here as they have no real evidence whatsoever?


    and before they angrily respond i ask - where's the evidence.
    NO. Can you comprehend love? But is it real?
    I cannot comprehend your religion, you cannot comprehend mine, and they cannot comprehend ours. But you believe in your religion, and when you do, you admit that it is real and true for you.
    No, you just put it down to a higher spritual being (easy way out) or try and work out what the heck is really happening (scientific way).
    no, cause then war ,which in completely comprhensible to me, as well as, advanced calculus would not exist,be true or real.





    ignorance does not change reality, just one's perception of reality.
    No, but just because somebody describes something imaginary as ';incomprehensible'; doesn't mean it's not imaginary.
    Reality and truth are totally based on your perception of them. It depends on how you look at things or how you feel about them. You and another person could be looking or experiencing the exact same thing but it could still be different for both of you. So if YOU can't understand it, your mind isn't ready for that possible truth or reality, and it stays somewhere in that gray area.
    I can't comprehend how electricity works but I know that it is real. Because we don't comprehend something, it still can be real.
    I can't comprehend Quantum physics...it's real though.
    No it doesn't mean it isn't true or real. There are many things we can't comprehend, that science tells us is real. Most people with little minds like us can't comprehend it, but they say it is real.
    No, it may be more of a reflection of my or your ability to understand.
    Architectual concepts of the tensile strength of materials was a concept far beyond our prehistoric counterparts.





    Despite being beyond their comprehension they still used the knowledge for making vine rope and such (with as high a tensile strength as they could fashion). Accepting it as true is part of the way to knowledge. You must then further analyse it to truely comprehend it. Otherwise we would STILL be using vine rope and have no idea that steels tensile strength is FAR superior.





    I suspect this question is feeding ammunition for a debate about God so I will add this. Can you further analyse it? Can you prove it true? Or most important of all can you demonstrate it? The existance of all is not a demonstration. Point me to the sky and show me God forming a star... THATS a demonstration. Even a talking burning bush could suffice... not as cool though

    She is quoting the old wives tale - the basic premise being that you should not pin all your hopes on one things - but rather diversify. Set several goals and work toward them independently and that way if one fails, you have others to work with.
    Well, if you have all of your eggs in one basket, and you drop the basket, then you're SOL. If put some of your eggs in one basket and some in another, then your chances of keeping the eggs intacted are better.

    I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?

    No, polling has showed that the majority of all Americans find FOX News to ACTUALLY be the most fair and balanced news network out there. True, they lean to the right, but most moderates find that they lean much less to the right than say...MSNBC or the NYT lean to the left. So, while balance is usually the key, if you are happy with the news content you are getting, then by all means, enjoy.I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?
    No.





    Some democrats dont want propaganda. And the fact is Foxnews is the ONLY news network that talks to BOTH liberals and conservatives to give BOTH viewpoints. They dont believe in silencing anyone but having ideas compete.





    Liberals have up on giving the opposition a voice a long time ago. They have become cheerleaders and are invested in 1 party.I get my news from Fox news and I am a Democrat does that mean i am not a true democrat?
    No, it means that you are a Democrat that decided to get news, not slants. If you watch the opinion shows then you know you are listening to opinion. If I watch NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC etc. I know that they are passing opinion off as news.
    If this is true, you are probably either a Southern Democrat or you don't let the media (in general) think for you.. rather that you have the ability to question that which is presented to you
    no, it's just confusing that you would watch that channel with all the smearing they do of democrats/liberals.





    but, to each his own.
    It means you are open-minded.





    Most of the Lefties here, think it's propaganda........





    they like to regurgitate Liberal talking points, without finding out for themselves.
    Not at all, it just means you are an uninformed democrat.
    There is nothing wrong with getting all sides, but where do you get the truth from, FOX? Are you kidding.
    More Democrats and independents watch Fox news then Republicans
    No, that means you are under sedatives...
    It means you're not truly informed.
    not at all.. news is news...





    it is the opinion pieces run on FOX that are jokes...
    It means your head was not put on right.
    Of course not.
    Not at all ... but where do you get reality ?

    Dozens of prophecies that the world wouldn't end today have now come true, does this mean...?




    That we have to write an Even Newer Testament now?

    damn, it's not going to happen! And i told my boss to go f**k himself and everything!


    What a wasteDozens of prophecies that the world wouldn't end today have now come true, does this mean...?
    The end of one end of the world is the beginning of the next end of the world.





    See you all in 2012.
    Like I Have Said Before, ';I Would Like to Know the Date of the Day After the Predicted 'End of the World', So I Can Breath a Sigh of Relief';.
    Totally. Written entirely by cynics. Who predict that nothing interesting is ever going to happen, and wouldn't believe it if it did XD
    It means NOTHING according to the Prophecies the end of the world is dated for 12 21 2012
    Some how i doubt ';scientists'; would have said today, more like ';billions of years';.





    Better success rate then describing someones birth in detail and being right?
    Whoa now, let's not jump to conclusions. Let's at least try to end the world one more time before we resort to those extreme measures.
    Prophecies of the end of the world not coming true is a sure sign of The End Times. It is written!

    Are you going to remember the true meaning of Easter?

    Please don't forget the true reason for Easter. Thank God for sending His only Son to die for our sins. Happy Easter. Don't eat rotten eggs.lolAre you going to remember the true meaning of Easter?
    i went to church this morning. if i wasnt sick i wouldve gone on Good Friday and last night. (midnight mass). Jesus Rosefrom the dead to save us how could i as a catholic forget?!? and yes please no one eat rotten eggs!!lol


    Happy Easter!!!Are you going to remember the true meaning of Easter?
    Um... the true meaning of Easter is the celebration of spring, and the return of fertility to the earth (hence bunnies, eggs, baby chicks, lambs, etc.), and all this centers around the Pagan goddess, Eostre, I'm not making this up, I swear it.





    Christianity was grafted onto ';Easter'; much later.





    I love chocolate bunnies.








    P.S. We get the words ';estrus'; and ';estrogen'; from this same goddess. Interesting, isn't it?
    I'm not Christian, so this is not really a holiday for me. However, I do believe in giving thanks to those that care, are good to others, and God above. I still hide eggs for my daughter, though, even if she is 12! I speak to God in my garden or when I'm alone. Have a good Easter :)


    P.S. Yes, rotten eggs are a bad thing! LOL.
    The meaning of Easter was lost , ages and ages ago ...





    Chocolate is now the meaning of Easter..





    Ha ha .. , my mom just goes out and buys eggs for the family , her reason for doing it ... - its Easter..





    Makes you really wonder why we eat chocolate on Easter.





    Who Cares, :P
    How is that the true meaning of easter? The catholics took the holiday from the pagans and left some of the traditions in it to make them happy. Then Christians still practice it to this day. I do not get that

  • HahaFunny: Mean ,but true horoscope for each sign, what yours? (not to offend)?

    Aquarius (Jan 23 - Feb 22) You have an inventive mind and are inclined to be progressive. You lie a great deal. You make the same mistakes repeatedly because you are stupid. Everyone thinks you are a jerk.











    Pieces (Feb 23 - Mar 22) You are a pioneer type and think most people are dickheads. You are quick to reprimand, impatient and full of advice. You do nothing but piss-off everyone you come in contact with. You are a prick.











    Aries (Mar 23 - Apr 22) You have a wild imagination and often think you are being followed by the FBI or CIA. You have minor influence on your friends and people resent you for flaunting your power. You lack confidence and are a general dipshit.











    Taurus (Apr 23 - May 22) You are practical and persistent. You have a dogged determination and work like hell. Most people think you are stubborn and bullheaded. You are nothing but a goddamed communist.











    Gemini (May 23 - June 22) You are a quick and intelligent thinker. People like you because you are bisexual. You are inclined to expect too much for too little. This means you are a cheap bastard. Geminis are notorious for thriving on incest.











    Cancer (June 23 - July 22) You are sympathetic and understanding to other people's problems, which makes you a sucker. You are always putting things off. That is why you will always be on welfare and won't be worth a crap. Everyone in prison is a Cancer.











    Leo (July 23 - Aug 22) You consider yourself a born leader. Others think you are an idiot. Most Leos are bullies. You are vain and annot tolerate criticism. Your arrogance is disgusting. Leo people are thieving bastards.











    Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22) You are the logical type and hate disorder. Your ****-picking attitude is sickening to your friends and co-workers. You are cold and unemotional and often fall asleep while doing it. Virgos make good bus drivers and pimps.











    Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22) You are the artistic type and have a difficult time dealing with reality. If you are a male you are probably queer. Chances for employment and monetary gain are nil. Most Libra women are whores. All Libras die of venereal disease.











    Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 22) You are the worst of the lot. You are shrewd in business and cannot be trusted. You shall achieve the pinnacle of success because of your total lack of ethics. You are the perfect son-of-a-*****. Most Scorpios are murdered.











    Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 22) You are optimistic and enthusiastic. You have a reckless tendency to rely on your luck since you have no talent. The majority of Sagittarians are drunks. You are a worthless piece of crap.











    Capricorn (Dec 23 - Jan 22) You are conservative and afraid of taking risks. You are basically a chickencrap. There has never been a Capricorn of any importance. You should kill yourself.HahaFunny: Mean ,but true horoscope for each sign, what yours? (not to offend)?
    What the hell!?! I may make the same mistake over and over again, but that does not make me stupid! Maybe someone should f***ing help if I DO make the same mistake over and over again, because I probably do not realize it. Also, I do not see how being ';stupid'; makes me a jerk...so I lie a few time, so does every other person.





    Aquarius..btw

    How to axplain true love ...i mean what is ture love ?

    Love is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.





    This love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone. It's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other. When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa.





    It's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.





    Love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.How to axplain true love ...i mean what is ture love ?
    True love is when you love someone more than yourself and ready to do anything for them. True love is when you find yourself thinking of that person always, caring for him/her. True love happens when the partners love, respect and trust each other.





    True love happens when you find peace, love and care in the arms of somebody, when your heart beats a million when you see that person, when you want to be in that person's caring hands and wants to lean on his/her shoulders. It is when you see his/her smiling face and forget all the worries and smile with him/her. You don't just care about anything else, all you want is to be with him/her. You would feel a deeper connection; like that you are with him/her for, like ages! It feels great





    It happens in real life, when two sincere %26amp; honest people love each other. But in today's selfish world, it's hard to find true love, it may turn to a fictional thing in the future.How to axplain true love ...i mean what is ture love ?
    when you cant answer the question... if your thinking your in love because they are smart, responsible, funny, you are thinking.. if you cant say why its because your heart is feeling...

    Is it true that transits that are in retrograde are suppose to mean negative time?

    why so?





    please explain.Is it true that transits that are in retrograde are suppose to mean negative time?
    As far as I have seen no. An aspect is an aspect. If anything it's more positive then direct motion. 8 of the 30 companies on the Dow Jones were founded with Mercury in retrograde. That's about 25%. Now considering that Mercury is only in retrograde about 10% of the time how could it be bad?





    Now where aspects are concerned and you have one planet in direct motion and the other in retrograde in a quincunx it's considered top be a bi-directional aspect. And is very powerful. More powerful than a regular aspect.





    For the second part of your question about Mars transiting to Natal Saturn. Mars doesn't move that slow. I think it's like half a degree a day so it wouldn't last that long. In conjunction it's not even that bad of an aspect. It's actually good. It brings extra energy for control. It all depends on how you use the transits. What you plan on doing.





    Besides that there are times when the effects of a single transit are very strong and other times when they just play out in the background. I haven't figured out how to tell why or how quite yet.

    Christmas is so comercialized that everyone has forgot the true meaning . We have a dinner to celebrate Jesus'

    Why does Christmas have to be so comericialized? We all should Celebrate Jesus's birthday with a dinner. Not just presents. We have a dinner to celebrate.


    Title: Christmas.Christmas is so comercialized that everyone has forgot the true meaning . We have a dinner to celebrate Jesus'
    I love your point dianna, I agree that Christmas should be about Jesus Christ. We are so mixed with the world, that we forget the true meaning of Christmas. It's all about ';gimme gimme gimme';, and we get mad when we don't get what we want. Christmas isn't about lying to our kids about Santa Clause...it's about what Christ did for us on the cross.





    In Love,


    MichaelChristmas is so comercialized that everyone has forgot the true meaning . We have a dinner to celebrate Jesus'
    Perhaps this question would be better posted under ';Christmas.';
    that would be so cool cuz everyone gets caught up in Santa ,gifts,south pool,elf's,rain deer and lots of stuff that dont mean christmas.
    i wonder the same thing
    I haven't forgotten the meaning. Please don't generalize.
    And the reason you posted this in the Passover section is......?
    thjis hasd nothing to do with passover
    I agree totally with you: The entire reason for remembering Christmas (a mass in remembrance of Jesus Christ) seems to of gotten lost along the way,doesn't it,by people who don't want to recognize the Holiness of Jesus Christ. Instead they have the (what is in it for me) attitude: I think it is terribly sad,that the true meaning has gotten so cluttered with festivity,and forgetting the true meaning for CHRISTmass: (spelling of the word was deliberate) on my part.
    First, Christmas is a concept introduced in mid 300's AD by Emperor Constantine. December 25th was a festival to the Sun god because that was the date of the winter solstice. Constantine simply changed the name of a pagan festival and made it a ';Christian'; celebration. Second, consider that Jesus was born in approximately mid October not in December. I think it's fair to deduce that Christ was never a part of Christmas to begin with. So it really doesn't matter what people do on that at all. Look up the facts in the encyclopedia.
    Actually, if you're celebrating Christmas on December 25, you're celebrating a pagan holiday. Scientists have pretty much proven that Jesus was born in April, so you're really helping to perpetuate a pagan holiday. On behalf of all pagans - thanks!
    What I'd love to do is wean my family off commecial Christmas and get back to religious education. Just go to church on Christmas and have a family dinner - since Mary and Joseph would have been with their family. Give gifts to sick children or other charities on Jan 6 (Epiphany). I have gotten my wife to start taking down the Nativity Creches by December 27, to remember their flight to Egypt and the killing of the children. And I'm pushing to keep the decorations from going up before the first Sunday in Advent, and have them down by Epiphany.
    because teh human race, most of us anyway, have evolve beyond religion and its silly nonsense but traditions die hard so we just came up with a new excuse why ppl owe us presents.

    Well, both of you are wrong, but you're a lot closer than your friend is.

  • What does be true to yourself really mean?

    what does it mean... iv never known!???What does be true to yourself really mean?
    Be true to who you really are inside, don't try to be something you are not. Don't live life as a lie





    I think it originally was To thine own self be trueWhat does be true to yourself really mean?
    It actual has dual meanings





    The first - Be honest with yourself. Look in the mirror and know who you are. Look in your mind and see yourself as you are... The opposite would be to lie to yourself about the truth and let your emotions override the facts.





    the second - You know your own ethics, your own conscience, your own ideals, your own principles. Do not compromise them or cheat yourself by doing something out of character.
    Not to lie more than reasonably required (polite lies) and to be upfront about your likes and dislikes.

    Eph 4:5 one Lord ,one Faith one Baptism does this mean one true religion or umbrella all Christian faiths ?

    This scripture + Matt 7:13%26amp;14 would seem to indicate only one faith (Religion) or do you think it is just a general statement for Christian ?Eph 4:5 one Lord ,one Faith one Baptism does this mean one true religion or umbrella all Christian faiths ?
    There is only One True Faith.


    It was there in the Garden of Eden, then Able, Seth, Enoch, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, then Jesus Christ, the new covenant he made with his apostles, the Christian congregation, and now there is only one faith that strives to follow Christs teaching to the fullest letter and spirit of the world!Eph 4:5 one Lord ,one Faith one Baptism does this mean one true religion or umbrella all Christian faiths ?
    ';One Lord'; For believers there is only one God, and one Lord, Jesus Christ through whom are all things, and through whom we live. (1 Corinthians 1:2, 8:5,6)





    ';One faith'; This is the Christian faith, and refers to the ';body of doctrine'; (The Bible) ';once for all delivered unto the saints'; (Jude 3)





    ';One baptism'; There are two ways which this is true. First, there is one baptism by the Spirit, by which those that trust in Christ are placed into the body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:13) Then there is one baptism by which believers in Christ confess their identification with Christ in death, burial, and resurrection. This is signified explicitly in baptism by immersion.
    I believe: One Lord --- Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the living God................One Faith --- the faith that we have to accept Jesus as our Saviour..............One Baptism --- when we are baptized in obedience after we have accepted Jesus as our Saviour....................All of which have absolutely NOTHING to do with 'religion'...............only God's plan of salvation....................





    God Bless...........
    The Bible says that the church is the bodies of believers physically. That is what it is referring to.





    The church is not a building made with bricks and boards and man's hands, and it is not an organization.
    It kind of implies that Christians should be getting along better than they are.





    I love your avatar.

    Is it true that green phlegm means infection?

    Every time i get a cold i end up coughing up the stuff as it goes straight to my chest, had a cold for 5 days now and am still coughing it up. I don't see how this could be happening every time if it is an infection? Do gps overprescribe antibiotics for this and that's why people believe that it means infection?Is it true that green phlegm means infection?
    nah yellow and white means infection

    Why are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?

    Um no.. its actually originally a pagan holiday.. christians ruin everythingWhy are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?
    No, the true meaning isn't Jesus Christ. I'm not a Christian, but I celebrate the holiday commonly referred to as ';Christmas';. Christmas is very much a material holiday, whether we like it or not. And this year, a lot of people are watching their pennies and won't be spending as much. Why are stores complaining about down sales for Christmas?Isn't the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ?
    in america it means santaaa.


    lol and buying as much as you can
    The stores are not worried about Jesus Christ, as it's 2008 and the majority of people ARE NOT CONCERNED about JC. So now, the true meaning of christmas is money... not jesus christ. its all about presents, consumers spendning money, and kids complaining that they didn't get enoguh
    Most stores are seperate from religion.
    true, but then againg, some of the stores are not christian


    dont forget that


    but overall, the holydays are to be with family and be greatful for what we have, not material possessions
    That depends on if your christian. Some of us don't celebrate Jesus.





    Christmas is the time of year where any store that is in the red will get into the black (thats how black Friday came along). Since our economy is down, this season is a sure signal of whether or not we are going to get as bad as many people beleive.
    Jesus Christ Shmesus Shmrist who gives a holy crap.
    I think for different people christmas means different things. for christians it is Jesus, for athiests perhaps it is the gifts, and for stores it's about how much they can boost their sales.
    Christmas is about Christ, stores are about $$profits$$
    Um, because stores exist to make money, I suppose.
    American's spend approx 450 billion each year during the Christmas season. It would cost 10 billion to make clean water available to everyone in the world.

    No, christmas is just a pagan holiday hijacked by the christians.
    What do stores have to do with Jesus Christ? They just want to make money. Duh.
    Yes, but with all holidays there is a commercial aspect. Surprisingly Xmas is NOT the number one revenue maker of all the holidays.


    I have heard people of simple minds say: ';Christmas is for children.'; With that comment they are clearly referring to the gift giving aspect of the holiday. I find this more absurd than the commercialization itself because these people have become so influenced by the retail aspect of Xmas that they have totally lost touch with the true origins of the day.


    That said, I like the idea of giving on this holiday. It seems to bring the best out of - almost - all people; and it does represent - although very loosely - the gifts of the Maji.
    Well...Christmas as actually a Pagan holiday before Christians came along.





    But yes, you are right. Christmas has become nothing more than a day for businesses to make money. It's sad really.
    Yes it is! But not all store owners are Christians so they don't care about the true meaning of Christmas, many probably just like Christmas because of all the money people spend in the Christmas season.
    Not for me and my family. It's turkey and presents day ... family and unity day ... love and sharing day. Sorry you didn't get the memo. You can't steal christmas from the rest of us like you did from the Pagans. Nice try.
    Not with our society.
    Faith is one thing, and economics is another. Of course, this doesn't mean that faith shouldn't influence how you handle economics.





    In American culture, Christmas sales can make about one-quarter of a store's yearly sales. Therefore, the stores need to do well at Christmastime. Now, you can see this as an unhealthy way to run the marketplace, and I agree with you. Dependence upon Christmas sales have led to the overcommercialization of Christmas.





    It's up to individuals like you and me to keep the spiritual meaning of Christmas above the material. Gift are good, but be wise about your gift-giving. Don't give gifts you can't afford to people you don't care much about. Give some of your gifts to the poor. Give wisely to your family and friends, whether this entails expensive stuff or not. (Remember the gift Mary of Bethany gave to Jesus? Expensive gifts are sometimes appropriate.)





    Society will not change its materialistic attitude toward Christmas unless individuals change, and influence their near and dear.

    Your kidding, right?
    For shops, the true meaning of Christmas is making lots of money.
    That would be for churches to complain about. For stores, they want to make sales, so they would complain about down sales.
    Christmas was never about Jesus.
    yes we can
    And why would stores be concerned about the true meaning of Christmas?





    Now if churches were complaining about the down sales for Christmas...then that would be an interesting question.
    Christmas was set up by the Catholic church to coincide with many Pagan rituals and traditions and it is not correct re: time; Jesus never said to celebrate His birth, although I'm thankful to God He was born, died and rose again





    It has become a time of greed and for some depression and lonliness etc;





    Jesus asked us to keep one ceremony, the communion in remembrance of Him
    no the true meaning of christmas is money
    Yes, the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ but many shops exploit this to gain a profit. Unfortunately for them, in heaven material possessions don't matter!
    AMEN!!! We should stop all the buying and focus on Jesus!
