He always has a different girlfriend. He is a very closeted bi. And I know we will never be a couple. BUt I want to know if I should continue on with this love affair. I love him, but he just uses me. He is the only one I have ever been with. I am only 16. I am just so confused.

It is clear that you do believe in Jehovah since you NEVER lash out at allah , just the GOD of the Jews and Christians. There is hope for you yet.

Seriously, almost all the female news anchors around here are Asian, and most of the reporters - it's like this almost everywhere, even in the south. what attracts asian women to this job? is there a reason, sociologically speaking why?

I had one concerning Joel/Acts and the last days. "I will pour out my spirit on ALL flesh"

ALways bothered me, the righteous notion of "well broad is the way, and narrow is our path, so Its probably just gonna be me and G-d up there......"

Why would satan get more than Jesus? The last days will have an outpuring of Spirit, with great repentance, and more salvation than you can imagine.

I was also HIT about how he GAVE us the Law. Its seen as opressive, but since when did He give lousy gifts? He is showing us how to live, thats all! Law is awesome, makes like better, healthier and much easier.

Thats mine......anyone else have some?


Blessings to you all, prescious souls.
David

Everyone knows that people in the midwest and south are more religious. Why do you think that is?

Also, for kicks and giggles you might as well specify what your faith (or lack there of) is, and where you live. I live in Boulder Colorado and I'm an atheist.

I was in my history class a few months ago and had a stirring of my soul. We were discussing how the indians were dying of disease and how the clonists were dying of the cold , everybody was dying. I got to thinking, where are all those people now? We know where their bodies are but where are they? Their consciousness, who they are, their thoughts, essentially, where are they without their bodies? I just have so many questions that remain unanswered. Nobody can know the answers to the questions I ask, they can onlt guess or inferr what they believe in. It says in the bible (if you believe in it) that if you accept Jesus into your heart you will live for eternity in heaven. What about the people who never got the chance to hear about Christ? There are still african and south american tribes living in the wild that have never heard the gospel and they die. Do they go to heaven? The bible is sometimes called the "greatest story of all time". What if thats all it is? Just a story to keep people in check, stop people from thinking too much and make the masses easier to control. Dan Brown has an interesting quote; "So dark the con of man". The quote is very true, so many cover ups and lies, who knows what the original text of the bible really said? Translated from aramaic, to hebrew, to german , to english, words and ideas get lost in the translation. I mean when we die , this is inevitable, imagine what could happen. What if thats it? Thats the end, theres no more,the t.v. is turned off and we stop existing. I suppose we wouldnt care because we cant care because we dont exist! How can we not exist?! Or a better case scenario, we live forever and ever for all eternity in the presence of G-d. Try and take that in for a minute, ETERNITY, forever....how can we even begin to gauge that? Can you imagine forever? And whos to say who is right and who is wrong when it comes to belief? I was raised this way, thus I believe this way. Ive turned down mormons and Jehovas wittnesses, what if they're the right ones and now I burn in hell for all eternity because I shunned them away. Now not that I agree with what happened on 9-11, but were those guys wrong? "Of course they were", many including myself would say. But they believed that they were doing something great, something that they were taught would please their G-d. Does that mean that they are going to hell for giving their lives for something they believed in?They believed enough in what they were doing that they were willing to kill and be killed for the sake of their beliefs and religeon. Can that really damn someone to a lake of fire for all eternity? And if theyre wrong, were the crusaders wrong? Some head honcho guy tells all these knight that its G-ds will to kill all the people who will not accept Christ. They follow as they were told. If you havent seen it, I suggest you watch Kingdom Of Heaven to get a better idea. All one man wants is more land to rule and all of a sudden G-d wills the destrution of an entire people. Moses did the same thing with the Isrealites in the desert. Told them not to attack these people or those people but when the time came to attack a group of people, he ordered everyone to be killed. It says in the bible that they Isrealites killed men,women and children,not one survivor left. What happened to all those people? This whole after life thing seems very......humanistic in its theory. If youre good, youll be rewarded, if not youll be punished. Like a dog, tell him to shake if he does, he gets a treat. If he pees on the floor he is punished. So if Im a good person and follow as closely as I can the word of G-d, then Ill go to heaven, but if I dont, Ill be damned to the lake of fire. But if there isnt anything after we die, then whats the point of living? Is it really all just cold hard math? We are a species that exists for the sole purpose of reproducing and then dyin?. Why would G-d create us? What is our purpose? Why seated around his throne are there 24 thrones with things on them praising his name all the time forever and ever? Why does he need that? Why does he need angels singing "glory glory" all the time, what does that accomplish? So we as humans have proven in our little labs that energy cannot be destroyed. It cant stop it just disperses or is reused in another form. Our bodies work off of electric current and energy, so when we die, something has to happen. But will we be aware of what is happening? I want to know where the G-d of the bible is. Where is my pillar of fire? Where is my burning bush? I want to see a sign so great that I cannot explain it away as coincidence. I want to know through and though that it came from G-d directly to me. All of this is so frustrating to think about. Its not death that scares me, its what is to come after death that fills me with fear and hopelessness. Because I know it will happen someday, and there isnt anything I can do about it. What will any of what I do matter in 90 years? Im just stuck in the rut of worry and doubt and cant seem to get y head back on straight. These thought haunt me from my day to day life and even into my dreams. (sigh) anyways thanks for listening everybody. If you have any thoughts on the matter please feel free to share. Im not closed minded when it comes to this stuff and I enjoy others input. Have a goodnight everyone........

Jesus made this statement to the rich man when rich man wanted Jesus to send someone here on earth to warn his people and etc. However there was this gulf separating Larazarus and the rich man and anyone that knows, I would apprciate it. I just thought someone would know if I did not know.

Yeah, whenever I do find myself being treated like a wall or tree, that's when I break out the rude insults, and then they will talk to me forever. But when I try to play simple and sincere, they treat me like dirt.

I was just wondering what he considered himself. I have read many questions and answers on here making claims as to whether Hitler was a Christian or not. Christians say that he was not a Christian because of what he did and others say he was alway a Christian. So what did he believe he was? I know he was crazy, so he could have had a distorted view on what would be Christian or not, but I would still like to know what he thought.
Thanks.

Burns victim Sophie Delezio has been hit by a car in the suburb of Seaforth and is now on life support in a Sydney hospital.
The accident happened as Sophie was being pushed in a stroller across a pedestrian crossing on Frenches Forest Road around 4:00pm AEST.
The five-year-old has been flown to the Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick and is being treated for critical injuries to her head, chest and legs.
The acting executive director of the hospital, Dr Michael Brydon, says his staff are deeply shocked at this second blow.
"This has rocked the whole of New South Wales, the country I would think," he said.
"This is certainly just a major blow to us all and the team themselves, who are looking after her, are doing their darnedest to make sure she makes yet another recovery.
"But she's a very, very sick little girl at this point in time."
New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma says the thoughts of the entire state are with Sophie

- they say to spread the word of jesus
- they say the way the world works is if you dont accept jesus youll go to hell but will be rewarded with eternal happiness
- it says that they have the "only truth", so basically all the other reigions are fakers
-the more people are competely convinced they have "the truth" (without evidence), they will impose it on their kids as the most important thing in their life to save their soul

who thinks that the control this has over people gave christianity the most power throughout our history?

Here is the problem:
Twin A(14yrs) will die in three months because of bad kidneys unless she gets transplant. Twin A is outgoing, intellegent, and everyone feels she will be very successful if she lives. At the time (not with the technological advances of today) the only kidney transplant that will be successful is from her twin. All other transplants will be unsucessful (according to then). This operation is usually safe but there is some risk like any surgery. Both twins can live with one kidney. The parents want this operation to be done but there is an issue. Twin B does not want to donate her kidney. Unlike her twin she is a very sad(depressed), shy, and unsocial person. Twin B feels rejected because all attention has been given to her sister who is ill.Twin B has always hated TwinA who has been given more attention and love. Twin b has been given psychiatric treatment and other things to change her mind but no success.

if you were to operate on Twin A.would you why? 3reaso
