I was raised catholic and went to catholic school my whole life. It never made sense to me regarding the sacraments and going to confession and I stopped going to church. Then I went to a born-again christian church for a couple of years and went to bible study and prayer meetings and I was happy and fulfilled. Then I started to feel inadequate and like I did not measure up to the other people and they started getting on my nerves. I took in a friend of my teenage son who was homeless after his mom was murdered and the pastor called me and said I had to kick him out as it gave the appearance of evil as I was single and this teenager was living with me even though my son lived with me too. After that I never went back to church. Now I am remarried but not to a believer and we have a 10 month old baby. I'm depressed a lot and thinking about getting back to a good church. How do i get and stay with the program?

9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:8-10

I look forward to your ad-hock reasoning filled, logic deprived rationalazations and random insults that have nothing to do with the question.

racism could be eradicated?
African people are the founders of civilization. Astronomy. mathematics, medicine, masonry and monotheism was first discovered and embraced by African people. These are facts that many people deny because of ignorance or blantant racism. My favorite denial of African achievement is that the Egyptians were not Africans. do you think a better educational system could bring people together in peace?

because it is a lie.
Read about all the other forms of spirituality willya.
Seriously, you can go to a heaven ...there is many..even infinite possibitlities of heavens ......This is a 100% serious statement. Everyone knows we make mistakes..it is called learning...not sin.
How do I know this you may ask. I have studied all the religions and they all come together in one big truth. Everyone had a piece of the puzzle, god knew this, that was the plan...to love they neighbor and love meaning understand. People aren't the fools you think they are. How could they have personal testimonies of miracles, their heaven, love, spirits, angels
Why am I telling you this......What am i trying to sell you..right!
Here it is, heaven is about like minds, synergy, imagination. We need your imagination to create more worlds to experience YES we can create new worlds but there has to be a group effort to keep them stable for others to live in them.Just like this one. We are god, and every other world

We are always mimicking (sp?) your accents because they sound different from ours and I wondered if you mimic ours? Do you think our accents sound cool or do you think we sound uneducated in the way that we talk? Just curious!

See, for example, the symbol of the team Washington Redskins:

http://www.redskins.com/

Or the mascot of the Cleveland Indians:

http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=cle

If there were such caricatures of other groups around, the teams would be accused of insensitive and they'd have to change them!

Also, how many Native Americans play important roles in movies, for example?

How come no one cares that all representations of Natives are stereotypical and demeaning, but when they happen to Blacks or Jews there's hell to pay?

fact that I am just now realizing that the people in the U.K. do not like us (Americans -- you know, we are on the U.S. site - am I right?). WHAT IS UP WITH THEM LATELY??? It's like there is so much hatred from them all of a sudden. Don't get me wrong, the people who are just being idiots on here - bad horrible answers and rude questions, I usually just bypass or ignore but I don't understand this country - United Kingdom - is against the USA. When did that happen? Why did that happen? I guess I just don't understand.

It is my opinion that because of the all that happening especially in the Middle East that its Muslims that are going to bring the Thrid World War and somehow help in the disater of the world coming to an end. I'm not saying I hate Muslims or anything its that because of their differences of how the world is and should be they're getting countries involed with their own problems. I know how its like to live in a third world country (Haitian) but damn. Maybe Bush is only pretending to be stupid so he won't have to deal with it and that he won't be blamed for it all. What's your opinion?
