I always feel that the number "13" is following me. It's 13 this, and that like 13 plates, 13 videos, 13 weeks, 13 everything. I also feel that God is so being unfair to me. I always feel miserable EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! It's like a curse is on me. For example, no matter how HARD I TRY AT SOMETHING, and do it again and again and so on... what I'm trying to accomplish is torn to pieces. Also, whenever I do something good like holding the door for someone, it feels that God gives me a bad punishment. I feel as that the poorer and miserable I feel... God justs sits there and laugh and give another horrible punishment. Also, evrytime I pray to God, I feel miserable. If I don't pray to God, I STILL feel miserable. I feel like throwing my body in a pool of sharks, or throw myself into sharp rocks or into a volcano and suffer and die? Please!!!!!!!!!..... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a 'new' Christian and am also looking for a new job. I have been offered an interview at a Martial Arts Studio as a secretary. I have done some research on my own and have found mixed results. I really need the money, but I don't want to go against Biblical teachings- as there are other jobs out there.
Any thoughtful input would be welcome!

And why will no one speak out strongly and decisively against it? It seems that nearly everyone practices this sin, some to a great extent and it is almost completely socially accepted. The Bible speaks out against it many times however, calls for the death penalty for those that practice it and warns they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Shouldn't Christians be doing far more to oppose and speak out against this sin which has become an epidemic?

Lets say that you have the entire afternoon with all three. You can all speak a common language. Who would you invite and why?

Here are my three:

1) a king/queen of a country in Africa that had somehow been convinced that giving their own people to slave traders was okay
>>>I'd want to know HOW they were convinced, WHY they did it, ask if they had any remorse and if they tried to do anything to change/stop it

2) an egyption pharaoh to find out more about their culture and how the heck those pyramids were built

3) Jesus...to get to the bottom of the bible and christianity...to see just how far off the mark we are

why do we make such a large fuss over gay marriage and not the divorce rate?
the devorce rate effects a lot more people.
when asking about gay marriage i hear kids need a mom and dad so why not attack the devorce rate, the major cause of single parents????

Latest research have clarified that the chromosomes of a south african, southindian & an Aryan is basically from an african Tribe "doodsee". In that case the Aryan invasion should be a myth.

Why must God intervene in this world if he created it perfectly?

If miracles prove God exists then why do we need faith?

1. If God didn’t want homosexuality, why did he make it possible? Even more importantly, Why make it feel good. It doesn’t make sense.

2. Why would a God who loves everyone, why would he order his followers to commit genocide against the Canaanites? (book of Joshua)

3. On the same thread, what about when little children were taunting Elisha, and God summoned bears to rip the little children apart?

4. Why would all loving God create Hell? Hell is a place whose only purpose is to torture people for eternity. Not the creation of an omni benevolent god if you ask me.

5. Why did God create Ebola, a disease that turns people into more or less guts jello? Seems sadistic to me.

I'll ask more questions later, i really need answers.

just seems to me that the cases of clergymen either being caught up choirboys or up each other is on an annual increase, which just makes religion even more laughable now than it ever has.
