So i know i should go see a priest for this but i figured any advice would be worthwhile.

Ive gone to church pretty much all my life but never feel spiritually enlightened. I see it as a good activity to do with my family. When im at school i dont really go to school and I often question a lot of the rules the Roman Catholic church follows. (no roman catholic church bashing please) I want to get in touch with god but i just havent been persuaded and sometimes i find myself jealous that people are so into god. Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you go to bed thinking of someone/something/ an event in hopes of having a dream about it?

I'm tired....I'm off to bed.

people in the past due to their primitive thinking accepted such nonsense, but what makes modern day people who are educated believe in such superstition?

I don't like public nudity but I think it's just because of childhood training. A cultural bias?

So, in Christianity, there is no soul recycling, so there are more and more souls over time. Where do they come from?

Are souls always separate or do they all come from a common soul-well?

Does the union of two souls on earth act as a spark to start a new soul?
Perhaps it pops into existence from some other realm like nightcrawler, or perhaps the spark acts as a magnet, drawing soul materials to it until it forms a complete soul. If so, could you determine a child's future goodness depending on the love between their parents(a stronger love perhaps creating a stronger soul-stuff magnet?)?

Are all souls identical? If not, does god choose which one goes where, or is it random?


Just wondering about general opinions on soul stuff. I don't care if you use logic, knowledge, or opinion. You don't really even need to keep it in reference to Christianity, though that is where my question sprang from.

Religion is learned ever since infancy and no one on this planet comes out the womb thinking "God created me". This is where Religion fails... enough said.

I wonder if anyone is in the same boat as I am. I was always really shy growing up and to this day I am still very shy. In school I never really talked to people and I mostly stayed to myself. To this day I only have a small # of friends I talk to. I am still living with my Family because I have not met anyone yet. My biggest thing is that I stayed with my family because I don't want to live alone or be alone. Once I was out of school I jumped right into a job and I moved up and I am the youngest one to hold the position that I have. I am well known in the company that I work for. But I still feel so empty that my life does not really mean anything because I really don't have anyone to share life with. I tried a number of things to meet people and it just start to panic. I am at a point in my life where I am so sick and tired of being alone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

if He knew we were going to sin?

Did God make us because He wanted us to spread the Word of Him? but why would He do that?

Confused! Please help.

Also, death is permanent. If he arose from the dead, then, by definition, he never really died, so where's the sacrifice? I think the entire story is a pant load, but, can you convince me that I am wrong?

I grew up mormon, but most of that is behind me now.

I am currently reading Michael Baigent's "The Jesus Papers" and I am alarmed by all the deceptions, cover-ups, corruption and destroyed records and documents of the early Christian era. I don't accept all of Baigent's theses, yet some of them fit the secular history.

I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss of these things, for there are some pieces of history may never know. I already possessed this feeling, but it gave me somewhere specific to direct that feeling. I suspect that many others feel this loss of history, subconsciously or otherwise; and I say this from an archeological/historical point of view.

So here is my specific question to mormons, especially converts: Does mormon dogma fill this 'void' or loss for you, and if so, how? There is no factual evidence whatsoever that supports the claims of the book of mormon or most if not all of the 'prophesies' of Joseph Smith.
