As something of a curious individual, I find the bible to be a highly interesting text. However, one thing I keep returning to is the bizarre character of God. From Cain, the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, the choice of Moses as his mouthpiece and the slaughter of Egypt's firstborn, through the sacrificial and murderous laws of Leviticus and the trials of the Jewish people to Jesus himself and his sacrifice on the Cross and Paul's theories of what that sacrifice means in terms of Afterlife (never mind the Church's own escapades), the entire history of the Christian faith seems to rest on the back of people who have killed or died violent deaths.

Does the Christian God benefit from death?
Is the point of Christianity that Jesus satisfies this need?
If so, is this a problem?
If not, why is God's history so filled with violence?

the other day, a friend said to me: "I could totally see you as a goth."

then, i thought to myself, hmm, maybe i should completely change my appearance to reflect my anger and general hatred of life.

i've dyed my hair black. i now keep a nine inch nails cd in my car at all times. i'm looking into buying black clothing. did i miss anything?

White's don't make good slaves, don't live in huts with dirt floors, eat every day, love and raise their children well, live long lives, and go to Heaven when they die.

I'm christian and was wondering if any one has a reference to a part in the bible that would teach that the true church would be there for every generation.

If you don't know of any, you don't need to tell me there aren't any. I'll know that if I don't receive any good answers.

God Bless

Where were you in life when you were saved?

I was on a road to everlasting hate for myself and everyone around me, drinking and smoking marijuana to solve problems, and about to make the worse mistake of my life by cheating on my husband....

What about you? Where were you when God pulled you out of darkness? Or have you always lived a saved life?

My boyfriend passed away unexpectedly in March. His birthday is coming up and I've been thinking about him a lot. I find healing in music to get my emotions out. What are good songs? I'm looking for songs that reflect on the loss of a person. Thanks!

do you think that people who are raised having religion and church pushed on them constantly may grow up to not want any part in religion at all and not even offer any religious education to their own children at all? or possibly choose a different religion just to rebel?

I'm not answering questions just for the possibility to be chosen best answer, but it certainly make me feel more appreciated when it does happen. With every question I answer I do my utmost best to help the askerer. Therefor it is very frustrating when they don't even make an effort to pick a best answer. I don't mind if they choose someone else'e answer, just as long as they do so. So, please every user on this site, try to be considerate and choose a best answer!

Many Christian groups want women to go back to dresses, skirts, and culottes instead of pants. I have found some denim culottes that I like, that could easily replace my blue jeans which everybody says are so manly. What do you think?

Are you here to learn about different religions by asking questions?
Or is it just to anger and confuse people?

Please answer the question truthfully without being hateful or nasty, it's a simple question.
