Society & Culture - 9 August 2006

Okay I'm a lesbian and I've been with my girlfriend for 1 year and and two months come tomorrow. And every day I come to love her more and more. But ever since starting to attend church, I have been feeling more and more empty. I've been battling with my love for God and the teachings of man.

I don't want to go to Hell and my head's been hurting over this for the past two weeks. I feel empty without my baby and I don't feel like I'm going to go to hell for loving her. I don't feel wrong for loving her so why don't I? I know that I am a sinner and I recognize all my sins but how come I don't see this as one? How can I love my girlfriend and still worship my dear Lord?

(If you're going to be offensive, please do not respond. I just want help with my spirituality and my relationship)

I am absolutly sick and tired of seeing the next hot figure in next to nothing at a fomal even. See throught tops that show bra's, skirts under you butts, even older ladies have forgotten what a slip is!
As much as I love my ladyhood, I guess some old traditions should never leave, like manners and respect.

If so, what other denom was it, and what were you so displeased with it about that you would convert? What made you choose Catholicism instead of something else? Are you glad you converted? Do they provide more spiritual growth than other churches?

Someone needs to tell the poor dears that God is not a rock.

I think they have a right to know after 1400 hundred years of believing it.

For a long time I've kept this quiet and I haven't said anything to anyone but it really is bothering me now.... We have a lot of friends that are well off, and whenever we have a party I notice that they are really cheap with us. Either they bring no gift or bring a very cheap (thoughtless) gift. Now it really irritates me because I am not like that with them. When friedns / friends have a party, I not only arrive with an expensive gift, which I try to really put a lot of thought into, but also something for the party (a dish or a bottle of wine, etc).
I am very generous with my gift-giving, I have given out large TVs, coats, fine jewelry, even boat cruises. And I don't see people coming even close to how much I spend on them! I am trying to "do unto others as I would like done to me" and I know it is the thought that counts but it is really upsetting me now.
Am I sending out a message that I do not see? Do people think I don't care about gifts? I can't expalin it..

I have a friend who is very pretty, intelligent , beutiful personality, bright smile and just an all around great person. She works very hard. Two jobs, while trying to raise 4 children alone. Ages 5, 9,14 and 17. Unfortunatly for her at one point in her life (around 10 yrs ago - she's been 10 years clean) she was using cocaine and it has left her with scars in her face that are a result of the drug abuse (porifirated mucous membranes, permenant rash) In public, people will stare to see if she's tweeking or something. I can tell It makes her very uncomfortable or even insecure at times. She's constantly looking for beuty products to help with her skin. I told her to ignore stares or just stare back, as a result to my advice, it's gotten a little confontational. Why is it that society pre-judges a person based on what they "see" instead of getting to know that person? Could it be that most look for fault in others to justify thier own insecurites? How can I get her to see this?

I have a friend who is a very strict christian. We aren't good friends, but we're friends none the less. She says she doesn't consider me christian because I don't go to church (anymore) and because I believe in reincarnation. Does she really have the right to say I'm not christian just because some of my ideology differs from the religion?

P.S: If you knoe your going to go crazy on me please make it constructive. Thank You.

We hear so much these days of religious leaders or preachers (vicars, priests etc) molesting children, especially innocent young boys, one wonders how much is still swept under the carpet to keep up the illusion “God is good” or “the Bible is the truth” or you name it.

The truth is, there are far too many child abusers in privileged religious positions, whether it’s sexual or physical abuse. I wonder how many children (or adults for that matter) are just too scared to come forward and speak out due to the emotional damage and brainwashing they have been subjected to.

Have any of your children been sexually abused by any of these religious predators. Would you really know if it happened, or would your child be forced to carry a dark traumatic secret around forever in their life. How can you be sure?

Huguenots were French protestants of the 16th century (the first.) We were not well liked and were persecuted for our religious beliefs. Being burned alive did not sit well with us so we fled to various parts of the world. Does the Huguenot spirit live on in you? Are you out there?

Like the originals I am still much inclined to follow my own way.

when muslims fell down on their faces while praying, that's how you should pray to God. as Abraham the father of all the prophets, he did the same thing.

Genesis
17:3 And Abraham fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

why don't you pray like Abraham?

Listen up all you christians I need your help! I recently got involved in church I've been reading the bible and trying to make friends with other christians. But no matter what I do I feel disconnected like something is truly missing. I hear everyone talking about prayer but I just can't seem to pray. Everytime I sit down to pray there's nothing. It's so new to me I don't know where to begin. I don't even know who to pray to, do I pray to God or Jesus? What do I talk about in prayer? Do I confess my sins in prayer?

Is the idea of a Boy/Girl growing up with a Male and a Female to identify with overrated.

My mom is gay and I gained a lot from her and just as much from my dad on what a good man should be. I don't think I'd be here if it wasn't for both. Now I see the new thing with same sex couples adopting or impregnating themselves and I wonder if Mother's and Fathers are losing their importance in this world.

I guess another part of this is, will Gay parents purposely ignore/not allow the influence a man/woman can have on your child, regardless of sexual orientation?

Granted there are single parents but children usually find a coach, or camp leader some one from church of the opposite gender raising the child to learn from and identify with.

I'm not bashing here either.
