he picks on me so much. Sometimes it feels like he has a personal vendeta against me. I've done some good things in my life. I served my country in the military, when my mom died I took custody of my younger brother, I'm not a criminal, I pay bills, And although I'm not perfect I do try to do good in life. So why do I have to dread waking up every morning because I don't know how my life can get any worse, but I know that some how today it will. I get bad news everyday. Sometimes I just want to scream out "God give me a break, I'm trying my best here". I know that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger but there is only so much a person can take. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have my life all figured out in the sense that I know what I want out of life. I'm not trying to sound like I am complaining but I guess that is what I am doing. I am complaining about how some people just get an easy ride through life while others have to fight their heart out to survive one day.

My question might sound irrelevant to some peopel, But I could care less. Alot of people believe there is not "a" god, But yet why do "Some"of you use things that are of the church or of christianity,Such was wedding in the churches, why not get married in court instead or pastors preaching in a funeral,why not just bury the person? The Question is to "Some" because I know some of you take it to the extreme.

I have answered many questions on here about homosexuals asked by Christians who think that being gay is wrong. In my answers, I include the following quotes from the Bible:

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." -Matthew 7:1-2

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
-Matthew 9:19

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." -Matthew 7:15

And yet none of these supposed Christians have responded to what I have said. Do Jesus' teachings only apply to things that don't creep you out? Homosexuals are regular human beings who happen to be attracted to members of their own sex. Aside from that fact, they are the same as everyone else. They do no one any harm. How do Christians justify ignoring Jesus' words and preaching hatred?

I suggest that anyone doing so is one of the false prophets.

The constitution / bill of rights stresses that the government should not establish any religion. However, many are trying (& sometimes succeeding) to pass laws based on narrowly held religious tenets.

Examples include the inserting into school curricula the teaching of intelligent design (a religious teaching of fundamentalist Christians & not a component of Catholic, Jewish, mainline Christian, or other religious faiths), limitations on birth control and abortion (primarily Catholic & fundamentalist Christian), and the criminalization of homosexuality (primarily fundamentalist Christian & Catholic, but also a tenet of islam).

Based on your own beliefs, which course would it be better for the US to follow:

A common-law government with an open, multi-faith approach to religion (where persons follow their beliefs within their own communities of faith)

OR

A religious-law government that imposes criminal penalties for violations of religious rules?

Explain your answers, please.
