For example, you resent references to Santa and the Easter Bunny, but both play a big roll in a childs Cristian holiday introduction. The question about whether or not we are golem was actually a serious question based on the description of God creating man and the description of a golem. A creature fashioned from earth/dust, activated by magical means, then returning to earth/dust when it has served its purpose.
You said you are doing what the Bible says you are supposed to do , spread the word. We see your "good work" as meddling in the lives of others, attempting to make converts of those who believe differently than you, and denigrate our beliefs or lack thereof, and try to frighten us into accepting your Jesus as Lord and savior with threats of our souls will burn in He'll
for eternity. Surely you can see how insulting it can be from our side.
So, you can genuinely wish me a Merry Christmas, and I will wish you a genuine Happy Holidays.
But, in business, keep it business like. Have a good night!
������Peace!

Yes…but…but…it’s not a personal choice, it is an ORDER
(If you accept the New Testament)
Acts 10:42
“And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.”
(And if you accept the Old Testament)
Isaiah 43:10
‘“You are my witnesses,’ declares the Lord, ‘and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.”’
It isn’t like one of us made up our minds, that by golly, no matter what you think, I will talk you into something else! That’s what politicians do.
