I read the Di Vinci code. It made me think a lot about stuff. It made me think about what everyone says about the Bible how it is right....how do we know. The people who read it I don't know if you get what I'm saying, but it really make you think. Does that make me a bad person. How is that different then me being of a different religion?

Someday I intend to become a Pastor or Theologian, living out a life of faith. I realize it will not be easy, but I feel it is a "calling" and this is truly what my heart is devoted and dedicated to, and I am surely willing to go forward with determination and will-power.. I am 14.. I am of Lutheran denomination, so yes, they recognize female Pastors, and yes, I would be allowed to marry and raise a family. But I want to know, what are some things I can do now? I am as involved with the church I attend as I can be, and I often write about my thoughts on faith, Christianity, etc... Currently I am reading, "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis...

How can I tell, over time, if it is my true "calling" to become a Pastor or a Theologian... I have the ambition for either.. I can do the research and the discussions, etc..That would go along with becoming a Theologian. I also have a desire to actually "spread the word' in terms of becoming a Pastor...

Any advice appreciated. Thanks. God bless!

"And God said, Let us make man in our image. after our likeness..............." Genesis 1:26 Of course there is more, but the first part is what I don't understand. What do the "us" and "our" mean? There are several verses where "God" says "us" and "our" after this. Please, if you know, or even think you know, why "us" and "our", and not "me" and "my"?

I know everyone wants to say that their own religion is the right one (and obviously they can't all be right), but I would like some guidance. If you sincerely believe that your faith is the one and only true and correct religion, please let me know what it is, and briefly state why you believe it is the one and only. I would be interested in hearing from all religions. My quest is to discover which way is right. I know it's gotta be out there somewhere. Also, if your religion happens to teach that "there is no one true religion", but rather there are "many paths which lead to God", and that "it doesn't matter which religion you follow", please let me know what your religious affiliation is, too.

Serious answers only, please. Thank you.

I dont understand how people can morally agree with the death penalty. People always say that if someone in your family was killed/raped, then you would want the killer/rapist to be killed. I dont believe in this logic. Once a killer or rapist is captured, they know that their lives are over one way or another. Killing them is just giving them the easy way out. Who is the government to decide who can live and who can die? Sure, these kind of people dont deserve to live in society, but that doesnt mean that they cant rot away in a cell. Also, it is claimed that the prospect of the death penalty scares away potential murderers, rapists, etc. This is most likely false as well, for people who would commit such atrocities obviously already have stunningly low regard for human life, and commit such acts knowing that the death penalty exists.
Besides, which is worse for society. Having the .000001% chance that a murderer could escape, or putting to death innocent people?
