I work in a clerical position at a medical clinic. I have applied for another position as a authorization/referral coordinator. I have recently given my life back to Lord and have been praying about the job. I thought of something today that is causing me to think twice though. Processing referrals and authorizations for patients to get abortions would be something that may be included in my duties. Even now, I get calls from people wishing to abort and I have to transfer their call to this particular department. As a Christian, would it be wrong for me to take this job, since I would be involved in contributing to someone performing this evil procedure? Please only answer if you are a Christian. No offense to anyone else, but I am seeking advice from a Christian viewpoint.

I work as a bartender and this dirty old man who is a regular reached out and grabed my butt while I was taking an order from another table, so I turned around and I hit the bastard. Then I refused to serve him from then on out. This is in a small town and everyone has heard about it and all have seem to have given their opinion about it and some of them think that I over reacted, I don't think i did and niether did my boss. I would also like to point out that this isnt the first time this guy has pulled something stupid like that. He tried to pull another bartender friend of mines' shirt down one time. So did I over react in your opinion?

this is a statement not a question, but you are free to say whatever you'd like.

I'm atheist and I'm sorry for making any others mad here. We should realize though that this forum has descended to a vicious circle. Atheists diagree with a religion and debate it, then Christians or Islamics, or for that matter other Monotheists say we go to hell and we keep insulting each other. But can't we just stop?

Being told that we have a demon in our hearts doesn't make us want to be Christian, we atheists do not wish to deny Christ. And personally Christ was a wise man in my eyes. But I do not believe he is the Messiah. When you say that we are told that we are doomed to hell, and I don't care what people say, that stings at least slightly. Who wants to be damned to hell after all?

So sorry. For my own mistakes and my own intolerance.

ROFLMAO I want a real explanation of this belief NOT a bible verse. I ask that you explain your own understanding of why you think God cares if we have a good time alone. Wasting sperm doesn’t work because women don’t waste anything and my body can make more very quickly (it isn’t even human life it only has ½ the DNA required). I can not understand why something that brings pleasure and harms no one AND has absolutely no consequences is a sin.
1+1=FISH asked if it was a sin and I was suprised at the response, now I want to know why.

Now I deffinately like guys, I had experiences with both but not full sex with either guy and girl. I felt nothing was wrong with my experiences, I liked it.
Also, is watching porn with two females making love have anything to do with your sexuality?

Are you getting fed up with the homeless here? It seems like the population of them has tripled in the past five years. Look, i am a good guy and am very mindful of the fact that many of these folks need real help, but some are just F***ing nuts! I live in a great neighborhood by the park and it is a real drag seeing them all over the place. Partly because I feel so helpless and also because they can be real *******. And to those of you that say I am just guilty or not tolerant, try waking up to the most hateful, obsenities being spewed out by a bum taking a crap outside your window.

...have a problem applying that to our deceased loved ones?

According to the Bible, it is no less true for the dead than the living.

So why do you not acknowledge that you are asking people to worship a god who, according to your scripture (Revelations 21:8), sent their deceased loved ones to Hell?

I was just reading some answers to a question and someone said something I have often heard before. That without God life is just meaningless pleasure. (one version of how I have heard it)

When I look at my beautiful daughter it means so much.

When I make someone smile or laugh it means so much.

When I look at the beauty of nature it means so much.

When I hear of someone risking their lives to help others it means so much.

I do not know if there is a God or not, but I don't understand how one can say that there is no meaning without a God.
