I am a Christian, but I'm not overly religiuos. However, I don't believe in God 100%. It's so hard going through school and listening to all the scientific ways in which humans, and the Earth came about, and then reading the Bible and it saying how God made us. It doesn't make sense. I would think that a person dies and they are just a material thing and they just stay in the Earth. But when I go through hard times, I refer to God for help. So I don't know what to think anymore, and I don't know what I believe. I will always remain an Orthodox Christian though.

Just wondering, if any of you believe in mermaids , merrow , or any
other kind of faeries,or any other mythical creature.Tell me also, if you have had any experiences before with any of the above mentioned,and tell me what happened..
Also would you want to see one?

Personally I love mermaids, I would like to see one,but for some
reason they scare me a little..I guess cause they are part human
and part fish..
Thanks..

I've sometimes wondered this, since saints are only people who have been deemed by certain head honchos in the Church to be worthy of sainthood after they've died.

I'm doing a little soul searching. I was raised n a "holy" church where they shout til the benches turned over (literally). I then became a Baptist as a teen &now n my adult years I'm wondering, what am I? What do I believe? I do believe n God as my creator. I do believe n a heaven &a hell but not necessarily as depicted n the bible. I believe in Jesus Christ but I'm not so sure if I believe he is God's son by way of immaculate conception. I believe Jesus is God's child like I am God's child. I believe he was &is a remarkable person that lived. But there r so many gaps &things that have been left n the bible by "mistake" n my opinion until I am left soul searching so that I may have a "confident belief system" so that I may teach my children. As a child &adult, I have always said that I accept Jesus as my Lord &personal savior bcause thats what people say you need 2say n order 2be saved so u wont be denied n2 "the kingdom" on "judgement day" but I'm now wondering what does that mean?

I've had 3 questions removed recently as inappropriate. The last one was a reasonable question to believers that if god and science were equally tasked with finding cures to deadly diseases who would come up with the cure first? It was removed for "Epithets & Slurs" when it contained NONE AT ALL.

Yet there are questions posted every day that go wholely unnoticed by the Y!A staff that are genuinely aimed at hurting atheists or spreading non truths about them.

It's more than frustrating.

From what I understand to be a Christian is to believe in Jesus, and that Jesus died for our sins, and that you have been saved or baptized. Now I believe there was a man named Jesus, just as I believe there was a man named Budhha, Mohammad, and others.
I believe that Jesus did not die for our sins, but that he died as a result of our sins upon him, that we also bestow upon our fellow man. I am an atheist in some respects, because I do not believe there to be a god, but more so a way of being god like. There is a divine force, but I dont believe it is a man with a long beard ready to cast us in the lake of fire. Man create hell in their way of thinking, and heaven as well. Judgement and fear only inhibits the purpose of divinity, and brings us back to the crucification of ourselves. This was the ultimate message that jesus brought us was that man will crucify man with his hatred, and bigotry. So does it surpsrise you I would make such a bold statement?
Just wondering, I wish you well

Christians...why do you continuously allow yourself to be baited with foolish comments. I too enjoy discussing and correcting untruths but its obvious when a person is simply making a statement only to offend and bring response. Nothing you say will cause that person to revoke their comment or change their mind. Their heart has hardened and all you can do is pray for them. Dont allow them to pull you to their level...
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

I have a friend who had it really rough growing up. Her father was a very violent alcoholic and drug addict and her mom just didn't care about anything. They never really had a home, always staying with relatives. But, when she was around 11 they didn't even stay with relatives anymore. They slept in this deserted trailer with no water, heat, electricity or anything. Well, what I'm getting to is that 3 years ago (she is now 17) her dad died. Even though he was an awful man and I don't see how she could have feelings for him she loved/loves him dearly. She slipped into a depression but is better now. However, she confided to me that she dwells on something. She thinks that God can do anything and if she prays hard enough he will turn back time for her. She said that when she is bored or with nothing to do she just sits and thinks about what she would do if he done that for her. I don't know what to do. How can I help her?

Thanks for your help.
