I was raised Catholic but left the church at 15 after moving to a new, larger town where I didn't feel comfortable and welcomed in a congregation where I didn't know anyone. I was also beginning to have new ideas about things like abortion (pro-choice) and homosexuality (whatever floats your boat), and felt it was dishonest to belong to the Church when I felt this way.

I still feel the same way about abortion and homosexuality but feel a desire to belong to the Church again. Who else out there has dealt with the same issues? How did you reconcile your faith with what seems right and fair to you?

Also, I've been going back to church a bit but don't feel right taking communion. I enjoy the ritual and the comfort of the mass, but don't quite feel as comfortable as I would like. Has anyone read any books that might help me in this journey? Or just any suggestions?

Our 6 year old daughter was saying something very strange one night. Is it biblical?
It was about 3:00am and my wife and I awoke to our daughters voice. She was standing at the foot of our bed saying very strange things while sleep walking. We both heard her say
"Mother, I saw someone casting out devils in your name, he did not follow us" She kept saying that to my wife. When we grabbed her we realised she was sleep walking and had deeply scratched her arms. Does doesnt remember any of it and says she has never heard that statement before. Has anyone ever heard of this? any help would be appreciated.
p.s we are not religous and dont go to church

In greek mytholgy gorgons were the name of the race of snake people. With Mudusa as their leader. On a couple occations I've seen gorgons portrayed as a bull. The bull can either turn it's victim to stone with a glare or with it's breath. I was wondering why it would be a bull and where it came from?

Over 90% of suicide victims show mental and emotional signs of depression, while over 60% have severe clinical depression. For those of you who clain suicide is a sin, have you ever been diagnosed with clinical depression. Have you had thoughts that were not yours, have you felt your body literally eating itself away while you are still alive. Do you know a single things about what happens to the brain when a person develops clinical depression?

No, I fear that most of those who this thread applys to would answer no to the majority of these questions. In fact, most of those reading this are not in situations where severe clinical depression could be developed.

Try being born to abusive meth addict parents, having extremely severe stage V acne over 80% of your face that leaves severe scarring in its wake. Most of you have no idea how dark a life can really turn, but yet you still judge those who have faced more than you will ever face.

I have a dilemma. I want the younger demographics to answer this more from their experiences rather than their opinions. I am in college and am still a virgin. Its not that i haven't had the opportunity but rather because i think it immoral to engage in such without some sort of commitment. Some of My friends, both female and male, think that hooking up at parties is just part of the social environment but i do not think so; not to say that i havent been tempted. I guess i am also afraid of STD's too; although there are steps to take to prevent this but they are not 100%.

So what is your opinion.

I have never been able to do right by my family. When I accomplish something that is great I never hear a job well done. I hear well you should have done more than that by now! When I am down on my luck they remind me that I am down on my luck and how worthless I am because I became down on my luck. Anyone else have to deal with this as well? How many others are the black sheep of their family?

I have recently been treated horribly by a staff member of a pizza place. I called in a delivery order for a pizza (giving my name, address, and credit card number), then I got a call back 15 minutes later by the person that took my order, who said that they will not deliver to me b/c "I" called repeatedly and harrassed them. She continued by cursing at me. I went to the restaraunt to request copies of my address and credit card information, and was greeted by incredibly rude, accusational behavior. The only reason they believe I am to blame is because I am the last person that called and I apparently sound like the harrasser (the harrasser had callerID blocked).

All I want is an apology. Owner refuses to fix the situation, despite my sumbission of a letter with phone records attached, proving that I made no harrassing calls. They refuse to force her to apologize. Therefore, I am launching an anti-Pizza Place campaign, w/ newspaper ads, flyers, and human rights grievances.
