I just want to know why people are so obsessed with money. I want to be a missionary from 22 untill I am thirdy then I want to be a youth pastor. Isnt this a good thing or am I off? I know that I will never be rich or any of that but I want to bring as many people to heaven as possible. When I die I want God to pat me on the back and say you did a good job being faithfull to my plan for you. I just feel that life here on earth when we know God should be used only to bring non-believers to God. Because at the end of the day thats all that matters. Heaven or Hell for eternity, Do I have the corect thinking or no?

I served four years in the United States Military. Since I am an atheist, did I do that because of my values, of patrotism, loyalty to country, or was I just doing that to further the agenda of the dark lord Satan?

Is there a perticular message agnosticism gives about how an individual should lead their lives? I am aware that it talks about the not having proof for the existance of god/s. But I am concerned as to how it helps the spirituality of a being.
Thank you!

I don't know why but I do feel awkward. The saying it's better to give than to receive is certainly true for me!

Hiya people of the world! My mum is renting a house and we have to be out by the 1st of may. We found a house, but that one got taken by a family that desprately needed a home. We were really upset. Now we have found another house but the rent is a little more than mum can pay. If you prey for us then I think he will go down in price. I also need you to prey for me. Im at a really horrible state school and I want to do home education, my mum said that she would do it but now she is douting it. We live in Spain and she said that I can go to England and do home education with dad or stay in Spain and do school. I want her to warm up to the idea that I stay in Spain and do home education. If I stop school before we move then I can start afresh in the new house.

Please Prey for me and my mum.
Thank You
Love Ya x

My MOhter and I have discussed this a few times. And I'm not speaking of experiencing the fact that one may have been a long time member of a certain church.
You know how some churches have this "extra" positive aura about them, or just feel "holier" in some way?
And it doesn't have anything to do with "visuals" either--statues, or decor,ect. It could be a small church or an small old temple,ect.
Just a "feeling" that really hits you once you walk in, while some other's just feel nothing either way.
Do you/did u ever experience what I'm talking about?

Recent medical study found that about 15 percent of pregnancies ended in miscarriages during the first 20 weeks. The study further said, “The actual percent is probably much higher because most miscarriages occur by the 12th week, before they are even detected.” ( Journal of the American College of Ob- Gyn, Oct.2006).
If such embryos/fetuses are “persons” as some claim, does that mean that nature (or God) is a rampant abortionist? If such embryos/fetuses have “souls” as some claim, are those billions deprived of a heaven because they are not baptized?
Or might this scientific finding be a significant indication that such embryos/fetuses are less than human beings? Such was the teaching of the highly regarded Roman Catholic theologian Thomas Aquinas. He thought that before “the quickening” or perception of movement of the fetus , 16-20 weeks, it was not yet human, and that aborting it was a moral option. "
What possible value can the views of a Catholic theologian hold for Protestants or even for contemporary Catholic church hierarchy?

If its ok to kill for your god is it ok for others to kill you for their god.

EG. George Bush said god told him to invade Iraq.

I have always thought that Islam teaches tolerance and equality until I watched a TV show on a very well-known Arabic-Islamic channel:

I was shocked when I watched that show. Now I am confused and I do not know if Islam really teaches tolerance and equality?

The original writers did not break up their writings into chapter and verse, so who did it?

Who had the Authority to do that?

Do you or I have the Authority to break up the current chapters/verses into more chapters/verses?

Some of our religious "visitors" are claiming that "gay marriage" would destroy "the sacred commandment of marriage".

The 7th commandment states:

"Thou shalt not commit adultery" addresses the sacred nature of marital life. Chastity in familial relationships is one of the basic elements of a pure society envisioned by the Bible. Therefore, the principle of honoring one's parents is supplemented by the charge to husband and wife to protect the sanctity of family life.

The above text states that husband and wife should not commit adultery and that this couple should protect the SANCITY OF FAMILY LIFE.

It does NOT say "Sancity of Marriage" !

Therefore can it be said that a GAY MARRIED COUPLE who DO NOT commit adultery are then in fact NOT destroying the sancity of marriage or family life...and therefore the religious zealots have NOTHING to preach on this boring subject ?
