I became a christian 3 yrs ago, and Christ really saved me from death, but its been about 8 months that I am so revolted with God b/c I feel like he alowed me to suffer way too much in my life, even after I met him until now I am going through way too much in all areas of my life, its just too much to bare, and everyone tells me to go back to the Lord and he is the only hope out of my mess, I just dont know why I'm not doing it...I need help...

Which do you prefer, TARGET or WALMARTt? I myself love Target, the women that shop there look great and I don't have to wait in line for 6 hours, what say you?

Why are so many people down and talking about how horrible things are when we're living at the best moment in time to be human!? Why all the pessimism?

I'm kinda thinking it has to do with effort to get to know the One you've started to believe in maybe? and just expecting Him to do all the work in the relationship & when it doesn't work out that way you start to doubt? what about someone who tries reading Word a little, says they believe, then after a month, says not sure anymore? back & forth several times yet prays & says, "God, please show me...make me feel like doing it Your way"?

I do not think that in the least. While yes, all ethnicies (is that how you spell it) are beautiful, I never see somebody say caucasion is. I don't look white, because I have dark skin, hair and eyes....however I think my grandmother is and was the most beautiful lady with her porcelain skin, fair hair and blue eyes. So, does the rest of the world not consider them gorgeous or what? Or is it just that white women are old fashioned now and tan is in....

You know they say hell can get pretty hot. Im sure it's crowded. I hear its very loud also with all the screams and hollering for dear mercy. Its real easy to get there just deny God, your soul, and basically what seperates you from brutish animals and you'll be fine. Hey non-christians, and fake-christians ,
Good Job. Hell needs a few good men. .

Be honest: how many of us do you think have slept with or had affairs with guys at some point(s) in our lives for some sort of financial, professional or social gain as A, if not THE, primary consideration. I think it is most of us. Then why can't we be honest about it?

Why does no one, other than catholics, get the stigmata?
(for those of you who don't know, Stigmata is when someone shows the "wounds of christ" by having thier palms bleed (even though it's been shown definitively that no one was ever crucified by the palms, the flesh would simply rip free) or having thier heads bleed (the wounds of the crown of thorns)
So, why do only catholics get these "wounds"? Wouldn't all denominations get them?

Of course, the fact is this is another example of Pious Fraud. Even the great Padre Pio was a notorious fraud, but that did'nt stop the catholic church from making him a saint huh? After all, that's what brings in the saps right? And when the sheep crowd the pews, the collection plate is full.
Beginning to see the reason yet?

I'm a 23-year-old gay guy and I've never had sex in my life and never had a partner. I've felt unrequited love several times, but I've never even kissed anyone. All this is because I haven't come out and I never felt like dating girls. Do you find this pathological? Do you know other people like me?

A few years ago, I had an idea for a comic I wanted to write and draw called Losing My Religion. The story centered around Bellaluna, an angel demon hybrid who, because she could travel to either heaven or hell, was a Reaper, and collected the souls of those who had died. However, because she was half demon, she wasn't really trusted by the other angels and had a hard time fitting in. The whole story pretty much revolves around the ideas of good and evil, free will, death, life, love, hate... you get the idea.

Anyway, I was wondering if this comic would be offensive to those more Christian minded than I am. It would be portraying some demons (such as Bella's mother and half brother, as well as her love intrest) in a sympathetic light, as well as portraying some angels as not-so-nice. I never meant for the comic to be a serious portrayal of the Christian faith, but rather use some of the cool "mythology" bits of the faith, if you will, for my story.

I'll post some links to my art too.
