Having faith and deeply believing?
Im still young {15} but i have no faith although i believe. Im coufused about life { its not because im a teen} I think that part of the reason is i feel i have nothing to live for. Im not suicidal but i dont see a point in living. I have had so much tragety in my 15 years that i have lost all faith. I have went to 2 diffrent churches. One i was at till i was 9 but the pastors wife accidently burnt me with a hot glue gun and she refused to let me call my mom and let me cry in front of at least 30 pepole. So a few years ago i went back but to a diffrent church and they seperated whites from blacks and that ment that i had to be seperated from my cousion because they thought that i was white. We sat through a 5 hour service { it was easter} and it was the worst exepreince in my life. So, i dont go to church. When i was 8 i saw my great grandma dead on our couch. It was terrifying. And ever since then i have had nightmares about her. Countinued

My family is having a gift exchange/grab bag. This year has a theme to the gifts. The gift must start with the letter L. It can be the gift itself, or the brand name that starts with L. I'm trying not to spend more than $30 on the gift. Thank you.

Sounds like a crazy question, but here's the situation.

You're at a party and there is Brie Cheese. Obviously you don't eat the rind, but the cheese is presented like a big slice rind and all at the buffet. Do you

a) Cut off the piece you want and do the rind dissection on your own plate.

Or

b) Gouge out the cheese you want at the buffet table with the given utensil.

I guess I should rephrase. I dont care what the average neanderthal would do that the office drunkfest, but I mean what is the PROPER thing to do at a civilized gathering.

Science is the one true religion. After all man created gods, not the other way around. It continues to amaze me that even with all the evidence available that discredits the existence of gods, many still believe dispite the evil commited in the name of gods.

I would like to tell her eventually so I don't have to keep it secret for the rest of my life. I feel she has a right to know sometime, but I don't want to tell her too soon or wait too long. What should I do? Just in case you're wondering, I'm a guy that dresses like a girl.

Everyone should be master of its own destiny. Extreme suffering is unacceptable and immoral. The Government and the Church should mind their own business. In exceptional circumstances it's better to kill, humanelly, a person than watch her/him live a miserable and painful life until death comes as a liberation.

Christians are all followers of Jesus. Then why most Christians(Catholics, Protestants,etc) eat pork? Why do Christians do not observe Jewish traditions? Please dont cite Bible verses.

I want answers based on history and facts and not based on faith.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord, shall enter in to the Kingdom of Heaven, except those who do the will of my Father which is in Heaven. Many will say to me in that day, "Have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name cast out demons? and in you name done many wonderful things?
23 And then I will say to them, I never knew you: Depart from me you all that work wickedness.

Growing up in a very religious family, I've heard all the sermons about affairs, and how they are a sin against God and a failure of your promise to your spouse.

My marriage is really struggling, probably a couple of years now. We've tried to keep it together, and I've managed to stay faithful, but God knows how hard it's been.

Each day, the sting of lonliness is like daggers in the heart. With each passing day, I find it harder and harder to stay faithful. I miss the affectionate touch of a woman.

Maybe I just needed a place to vent, but I find it so frustrating that religion is inhibiting my passion.

Something is going to break, just not sure if it's going to be my faith(ie have an affair) or my marriage.

My boyfriend and I have been together for a while now. He is athiest, and I am Christian. You know how in church, they say you should show your faith by your actions?? That's how I fell for him. He is not a bad person at all and I was shocked when I found out he wasn't religeous at all. I accept that we have different beliefs, but i'm concerned because the bible says that a Christian should not be with a non Christian (2 Corinthians 6:14). I love him with all my heart, but I don't know if I am upsetting God by staying with him.
