The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth. (1)
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, (2)
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, (3)
born of the Virgin Mary, (4)
suffered under Pontius Pilate, (5)
was crucified, died, and was buried; (6)
he descended into hell. (7)
On the third day he rose again; (8)
he ascended into heaven, (9)
he is seated at the right hand of the Father, (10)
and he will come to judge the living and the dead. (11)
I believe in the Holy Spirit, (12)
the holy catholic Church, (13)
the communion of saints, (14)
the forgiveness of sins, (15)
the resurrection of the body, (16)
and the life everlasting. Amen. (17)

The ones colored are the ones I find are most important in the Apostles Creed.

5.(Phil. 2:6–11) and of “the night when he [Jesus] was betrayed”

I believe that the Bible is the foundation for these beliefs.  Everyone chooses their own way of life, and make their own decisions, and if they choose to deny any of these statements then I believe they are not denying Christianity.

Consuming Kids!!
In our social class we watched a video documentary on "Consuming Kids".  This movie was about how so many advertisements are aimed at young children to try and manipulate us to believing our life would be so much better with these products.  It gave me the feeling that I have been used or an easy target.  It makes it a lot easier for them to sell what they have to offer if we are already attached.  I was surprised on how these marketers go to such extreme measures to have people interested in their products, especially young innocent children.  I believe there should be laws to protect these children from the harms of the horrible marketers.  They go to such low levels to succeed in life, and these children are unaware of what is happening.
