					<description><![CDATA[I would suggest you google sights that talk about sukkot for christians. The feast of Tablernacles represents the ingathering of G-d&#039;s people. This is an excellent biblical alternative to halloween for a fall harvest celebration. Although you have some rabbincal traditions mixed in Sukkot is mention in the Hebrew scriptures with the booths and the elements of Etrog, palm, willow and myrtle branches that can be G-d and Christ centered. Please reseach and check out this positive alternative!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[  So whats the difference between a religion and a cult? The amount of people in the group. So, even a religion with millions of &#039;followers&#039; is just a large cult. 
   Does this woman forget that most of christianities practices and rituals stem from paganism. of course she does. Except for when the bunny rabbit opened the door to jesuses tomb, let him loose and then laid eggs so everybody could have brunch.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thanks for publishing the article, Greg, it was well written and I learnt a few things I didn&#039;t know already.

The &quot;yes we all know the emperor has nice clothes&quot; brigade&#039;s comments before and afterwards would be quite funny if they weren&#039;t so tragic.

My Dad was an architect, and he taught me to look for hints of other architect&#039;s personality in the design of their buildings. 

Try to imagine a building with no architect and no builder.

Here&#039;s my challenge: Try and guess what the Creator is like by observing His Creation.

					<description><![CDATA[Vince - &quot;In islamic culture, however, there has not been that bloody upheaval marking the transition from theocracy to secular government, hence the global pandemic of islamic violence now taking place. To put it plainly - islamic culture is a relic of the dark ages and has a long road ahead of it in order to catch up with civilisation as we know it.&quot;

Wow,  it&#039;s all so simple when you don&#039;t have to consider that Islam is comprised of many sub-sects, some clergy based, some tribally based with a variety of histories and customs. Also the huge poverty, unemployment and illiteracy rates in some middle-eastern countries where the incredibly wealthy monarchy&#039;s are supported by the U.S.. This is not to mention the tons of money that we (the U.S. and other &quot;civilized&quot; nations) send to countries that do things like drag people off in the middle of the night and submerge their body parts in boiling water (Uzbekistan), because we wanted to use their airspace, to go to war with Afghanistan.  Also the fact that secular &quot;civilized&quot; leaders in the Middle East (Saddam Hussein)somehow managed to do a fine job of subjugating and torturing their people.

It&#039;s all so simple, though. We&#039;re civilized and they&#039;re backward. It&#039;s great because you can insert any religion, ethnic group or nationality into the slots.
