I just read your blog and I could feel your frustration. I am surprised by your neighbour's reaction, is he/she a close friend of yours?. Otherwise, I could not understand why she would get on so much. Now, I am curious about something. I know you said you do not believe in Christ and do not want to teach your kids about Santa Claus, so what is the explanation you all give to the kids for celebrating Christmas?. Do you all say it's just a special time of the year for families or something of that nature?.

Regards to your parents, I am sure they mean good...I know it can be frustrating to be talking about the issue over and over and over huh?! but I do not doubt they want the best for you and they have great intentions...sometimes people just do not realize that when they are pushy, instead of helping, make things even worst. *shrugs*

I wish with all my heart that your family and yourself have a great Christmas and that even though we do not celebrate the season with the same purpose, the love and the special feelings we get during this time of the year is one to be remembered forever. Merry Christmas my friend!.

Introduction Konquererz

It was a wonderful christmas! Thank you!

As for my neighbor, he is a friend, but he just gets cranky and mean sometimes, he is impossible to be around some times. I sit their get yelled at about my lack of 'christian' beliefs and he is an anarchist! What on earth?

As for my kids, I teach them that its a special time of the year for families to spend time together. When they get older, I plan on teaching them the various reasons that people celebrate Christmas. When they get old enough and start asking more questions, I want them to understand, or be able to understand, that they should follow their heart. Growing up christian, I have no ill will or problems if they so chose to follow the faith. I have lots of Bibles and other books answering hard biblical questions from both christian and non-christian perspectives in the house. If they seek for knowledge, they will find it.

But as for Santa Claus...
I don't want to sound rude to those of you who teach your kids about Santa, so let me tread lightly, I did not learn about santa growing up. Santa is not a christian theme and is in essence a lie told to the kids unless Santa really does come down your chimney. I just chose not to tell that lie, its not true, and I don't want them to question other things I say based on a previous falsity.

You know, growing up, I always thought it was hard growing up christian, but in todays world, its hard to be agnostic and not be christian. I get ridiculed more for my lack of belief, everywhere from work to my neighborhood, than I ever did being a christian. I really never saw the response to my beliefs being this way, but then, I don't change because of other people, not growing up, no now.

I have just read your blog and am sorry to hear that your friend is leaving for another department. You mention that if you study for and pass your network certification you can possibly join him. Which network certification is it that you have to take? Comptia, Cisco, Microsoft? Do you know what test number it is? What study resources are you using or planning to use?

Wow, can't believe I won mod of the month, I didn't think I had done much, and I still haven't really gotten the hang of it yet with all the extra features. Thank you all, I will deposit my forum points in hopes of raiding the arcade once I have enough saved up!

I just read your blog, and thought I would recommend reading some CS Lewis books. He started out his Christian studies trying to disprove the Bible and all it told, and ended up proving to himself that it was true. I know you were saying you wanted to take the year to find the real Jesus, and that's just one suggestion.

I hope your son is feeling better. Every time one of my girls at work gets sick, I end up being the staff member that sticks with them as their lunch is coming up. There's just something about that feeling of them putting all their trust in you because they know you will take care of them. And these ones aren't even mine!

Thanks BB! My son was doing better, but today his ear infection is back again, two days after the medicine was done. Arg, poor kid!
