I took in my 13 yr old brother and am his guardian, my 19 yr old sister is living with me, my mom is an alcoholic and drug addict who treats me like I'm her mother and acts like she is a child, In the past few months I have dropped out of school and had to resign from my job, there are no elders or responsible older people in my family because they all passed away or were all on drugs. I have had a horrible childhood that includes sexual abuse, emotional abuse and neglect, I was taken advantage by this church that I was a member of and all the friends that I thought that I had were really not my friends and all of my family members come to me for advice and prayer because I have a big heart. I don't know what to do, I feel like God has forsaken me, but I still love him, I just don't know what to do. I just turned 25 yrs old by the way and I also found the strength to leave my ex boyfriend alone, but it's still hard.

Alot of atheists are emo, goth or punk teenagers, who have no real reason to be athiest other than to rebel against their parents? Or they are normal teenagers and just want to rebel.
The only athiests I know of in my town fit into this catagory.

I had been sober for 16 years and thought I would visit my AA friends at a meeting. I went through all the right moves, said the usual things about how grateful I am for my AA higher power and even chanted some slogans etc. All of a sudden, I started thinking about having a drink and like rocket, I went down to the nearest bar and got drunk! So much for AA philosophy!

Save me Jesus! Save me and take me home...Now! Don't let the AA vampires take me. I will never drink again and will NEVER go out at night again!

Baaarrrrrfffffff !

What song best describes your life?What type of book or movie would your life be? What animal do you find you prefer? What color fits your mood today? Silly questions perhaps but I think these would tell a lot about a person.
Peace Be With You,

I don't get it, well i know God is very spiritual, and an influence to many millions or billions of people over the years, but how can Kenyans go to heaven or hell if they never had a chance to read the bible and just starve to death?

Ok, so I'm new, but I don't get all the hateful things people are saying in this religion & spirituality section. Is the idea to grow and be tolerant?

It seems like any Christian denomination will ignore the truth of a falling apart congregation just because the power money hungry family opposes the truth that they forced good saints working in the church out.

Read that whole first chapter. Here is all these angels walking around talking to people. Is that why we have like these paranormal people who can see angels. And are they good or bad. Job 1:4 Satan was walking around and it wasn't to good for Job.

I "know" my family and friends, I feel like I "know" many on here from their answers but I am wondering if we ever REALLY "know" anyone.I suspect that one way or the other we all remain strangers to everyone else all of our lives.

those who proclaim to love him but have committed minor transgressions?
And if so then why didn't he just "forgive" satan instead of sending him to hell

If my restaurant tab is $100 plus $8 in tax, and I leave a $15 tip... will the server interpret that as a 15% tip? Am I stiffing the waiter if I leave tip of 15% on the pre-tax amount?

I'm not asking if 15% is the right amount to tip... you can use any percentage as an example. I really want to know... Do you figure the percentage based on the amount with or without tax?

I have a friend who is short on money. She is trying to find a second job to help pay her bills. The issue is that she recently took her niece and nephew to Disney World. She could not afford that trip, but she said she really wanted to go back. In order to pay for the trip, she used her vacation check, took out 2 small, high-interest loans, and did not pay a bill. As a result her cell phone was shut off. In order to get it turned back on, she has to pay $285.00. She does not have the money to do this. Now, my church has a benevolent fund to help those who need a little help paying bills or buying food. My question is: should I tell my pastor about her? Knowing her nature, (she thinks she in the most important person in the world and the world should cater to her. She even thinks that God should be her personal "genie") I kind of don't want to help her, but as a Christian I know I should.
