Her mother and I have been friends since high school and I was her maid of honor. But I don't particularly believe in all these archaic, mostly materialistic and self serving "honors" that have become routine. I am not religious in the least, and I don't need to church to tell me to care for a child that needs it. I'm honestly tired of all the expenses these ocasions bring up that I can't really afford. And I'm tired of going all out for everyone else, while noone ever reciprocates or appreciates. I would rather not do it, but at the same time I don't want to hurt her feelings. I'm just tired of participating in all these rituals that are nothing more than gift gathering expeditions, and in which I don't really believe.

All Christians seem to agree that the crucifixion was necessary in order for salvation. In order for this to take place, Judas had to betray Jesus. My question... Why would God's plan involve have Judas as a scapegoat? His betrayal was part of the plan, so really he had NO choice BUT to betray Jesus! Why would a kind, loving God allow a man to be villified throughout history for helping to fulfill God's plan for salvation? You can argue that he had free will, but in essence he didn't, because it was all part of the plan. Why would you want your salvation to ride on the back of this horrible act of betrayal on Gods part?

And that was 400 years ago! Obviously, fallibility is a big part of the Catholic organization.

Or maybe the question should have been "Why do people continue with that organization when it has had to pay hundreds of millions due to child-molesting priest scandals?

Why exactly do you disagree? What exact belief or beliefs is is that you find to be "untrue"?

Also, what faith do you belong to, if any?

Thanks for the responses. I ask this in total respect with no intent to offend or criticize any one.

With all this hype about his move to America, don't you think it's a bit much?.
He is an overated footballer who got by on his pretty boy looks. If thats not true then how come he was sold by Man u whilst in his prime and then didn't become a national hero in Spain like the fanfare predicted when he went there. And is this league he is in now a quality platform for such a good player?
Before people harp on about his free kick against Greece a few years ago, he had 8 free kicks in that game and could only convert 1!!

She is a talentless, skinny minger who is getting by on what happened 10 years ago when in a manufactured "group".

I don't blame them for this but the global media is the problem!
Can you tell me why they deserve this sort of attention?
Over 9's only please!

From an article from the KC Star today:

"The Springfield area man and his children were on a church trip, and he said the whole experience had been like “an outdoor version of the Jerry Springer Show.”

“I was shocked,” he said. “This is my first time down here. I won’t come again. It’s not family-oriented.”

When I read his statement that 'he was shocked'.... LIAR!!!!

Now, I'm a Christian and from the KC area, I know what happens when you float on the Niangua River in MO. It's infamous for parties!!! If you live in this state...you know!!!

What Church would take their family and church group to a party river?

Their are party floats and family floats. Wouldn't YOU check out the place and the enviroment before you sent your Church kids down there?

Is Judas an example that not everyone that goes to church is going to be saved? Judas believed in Jesus, looks like this is not enough.

Jesus said,"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled (completed), and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent (have a change of mind which issues in regret for past sins and in change of conduct for the better) and believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to) the good news (the Gospel). Mark 1:15

I understand that people have their beliefs, but why do they believe that if you're not Christian, then you are going to Hell? Do they believe that their religion is the only right one and no one else's could be right? How is that possible?

7 months ago I converted from Christianity to Islam. In those seven months, I have had a very difficult time praying. I live at home (I have to) and share a room with my brother. My room and the bathroom are the only places I have enough privacy to pray. Recently, by brother has made it his mission to come into our room and sabotage me while I pray (i.e. pushing me, pulling my scarf off, playing music very loudly, ect.) therefore praying in my room can only be done maybe once a day if I hurry. The other rooms in the house, my parents room, the living room and kitchen always have people in them and the bathroom...I think you can guess why I don't want to pray in there. What i am most worried about is that Allah will not forgive me for this, even if I make the prayers up (I have them all tallied up, the ones I've missed) I would like to know what you think of my situation and would like some (any!) advice!!! Thank you.

Salaam
