I've accepted Jesus as my Savoir and I love God too. I'm not perfect, far from it but I do try to get along with people and I am kind to others. My down side is that I still use profanity from time to time and I don't always go to church like I should. I do try to pray every day and Jesus is still in my heart. I worry that I won't get there though because I was told I could lose my salvation. It's hard trying to be perfect. I wonder every day if I am doing something that is not good in God's eyes such as listening to rock-n roll and rap but I do also listen to Christian music. I'm just wondering that there might be a sin that I haven't asked for forgiveness for and God won't let me in. Sorry this is so long, but it's really bothering me.

I've tried tape, head coverings, humming instead of talking. But I'm addicted to alwas hearing my thoughts out loud. It ignoys me and I'm sure it ignoys God. He said we're accountable on judgement day for every word we say unless we repent. That frightens me and wish I could stop carrying on conversations with my self.

the pope signing the paper that christian denominations are not "real churches"

I mean how unfair is this? Is he calling christians liars?

Why does he get to choose whose right and whose wrong? Hes not God.

At least once a year there has to be some huge arguement! Why can't everyone just stop shoving crap in each others face to put one another down. People are claiming the bones of Jesus were found, People are claiming the arc of Noah was found. People say the earth was created by the big bang and we all evolved from monkies, others say god created the earth and all life. Wheather the arguments are argued through logical scientific statements from both points of view or if it is just philosophy, It helps us get nowhere. Because theists have logical proof as to why they think there has to a supernatural bein and atheists have logical proof as to why they think there can't be a supernatural bein? However, why do they think the answer to "How we got here?" will do anything. They act like once the answer is found the earth will turn into a world of perfection, Yet however close we get to answering "how?", we will probaly never understand "why we are here?"

I was reading the Apocalypse last night. And while reading I found out that they were talking about naves and pilots. How could they predict that we would have pilots and naves in these days? How could they predict this in a writing 2000+ years old?

You call it tales, guesses or whatever you want. But I call it AMAZING.

As an atheist I am not at war with other atheists. I do not go around killing atheists or other non-believers of what they do not believe in.
So why do different religious people kill those of another religion?
It does not make a scrap of sense, but that is not unusual. Their very existence is suspect.

DISCLAIMER: These are serious questions and Im not trying to diss on your religion, so if you have a problem then simply click on the back button instead of trying to waste five minutes of your life writing a really long reply trying to insult me, which I wont read after the first line anyway.

Is it true that you have three layers for Heaven? I was told by Mormons that there really isnt a Hell, everyone who deserves to go to Hell gets stuck in the lowest form of Heaven. They told me the second layer was you got to kick it with Jesus and the third you got to kick it with God. But Hitler and Saddam is kicking it in the first layer by themselves.

Also, the only way to go on your mission is to have the head priest or whatever you wanna call them send you on your mission, but only after God tells them to. Does your preacher talk to God himself?

LORENZAGO DI CADORE, Italy - Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches.
Benedict approved a document from his old offices at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that restates church teaching on relations with other Christians. It was the second time in a week the pope has corrected what he says are erroneous interpretations of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that modernized the church.

"Benedict approved a document from his old offices at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith." This is the outfit that was responsible for burning hundreds of thousands at the stake in the Dark Ages. Just what we need , more religious hate. NOT!!!!

Hello I have a girlfriend of 6 yrs now and she is cool, i love her. I have a friend that is hot, i lust her. Anyhow I just want to see how many fellow lesbians would say yes to this or how it would have to worded to answer yes to it for your girlfriend.

I want to have sex with my friend and I want my girlfriend to be ok with it. I dont want to cheat so she'd have to know, so how can I get her to let me do it. I have thought, it's only friend sex and im still in love with you but need more to make it work. would you let your girlfriend if she was really serious, in love with you and just wanted to have sex with her friend for fun because she was in lust. I know its a long shot but what can i say to increase my chances?

thanks!

"Most people who are atheists are just too lazy to go to church and give time to worship god. They believe the media to much and dont think that what we try to say is true to love others like how you would like to be loved. Just because the media says we "brainwash people" they think what we say is made up. BUT WHO NEEDS TO MAKE UP TELLING SOMEONE TO SHOW LOVE FOR OTHER PEOPLE."



I'll leave it for your comments, R&S. I have to go stop my eye twitching...

Ok people we all have friends. Close and distant. So who helps you out when your back is against the wall?
Who do you turn to and who gives you the advice you can take onboard.
Not the cynical one line quips I have seen on this site by people who only wish to increase their score.
So I am challenging all of you out there globally who do have a brain to answer this question.

1) is "Pedophilia" consider a disease too?
2) Is it true that there is no cure (like alcohol and drugs) but a program that will allow them recovery?
3) Do they really recover or will they always be a threat?
Here is the big question....
4) Can YOU ever forgive a pedophile?

God forgive me, but I can't! How wrong is that?

I would like honest opinions because I haven't been able to forgive my uncle (the pastor) and this has been bothering me for years. I would like "Christians" answers mostly, but will happly take any honest answers.
