I was raised by my Dad and Step Mom till recently, and they believed that anything that seems to oppose the Bible is false. I held their views for a while, what could I do? I was homeschooled. But anyways, I have lately begun to doubt their beliefs and question them. Is Christianity for real?

In the mid 50s a group of people called "Beatniks" emerged. They were different from the typical American. They mostly wore black, listened to Jazz, discussed intellectual conversations, and said things like "yeah I know that cat". A few years later another group of people emerged from San Francisco and they were to be called "Hippies". They wanted peace, love, equality. They practiced Yoga and started the first earth day. They ate organic foods and lived in communes out in nature. They took psychedelic drugs and introduced a new type of music based on the feelings you get when your high.

Basically these two groups had good and bad effects on the world today. We are allowed to express our selfs through music, art, and poetry more freely. But thats not to say that we aren't still a very conservative society. So I ask is there a need for a counter culture? And if so when do you predict that it will happen? And what will it change?

a Buddhist once told me.
that even in enlightenment there are still things to learn even for a moment.

that the point of enlightenment is to stop and truly know that one knows nothhing really.
to start at sqaure one and beging down that path is true enlightment and at that end when you meet Buddha one couldnt say they know everything
butg at least they know something.

what do you think of what my friend said please tell me ???

Ya know the ones who really don't ever seem to know what they are talking about, the ones who ask stupid questions or make stupid comments that give the rest of us a bad name. Sometimes I don't even think they are actually atheist just a bunch of pissed off emo kids who claim to not believe in God because they hate themselves and just wanna fit in. I see them a lot in chat rooms.

I know the bible says dont have sex until marriage but my boyfriend and I are are expecting a son next month and just got back together a month ago. We are totally in love and planning to get married in a year. He hasn't offically proposed tho because he can't afford a ring right now. Now we were trying to wait until marriage but its getting really hard for us. We have already had sex and we are already one flesh and for us it isnt about just having sex we are in love and getting married next year and want to express our love to eachother. I think that we should wait until we are officially engaged but then it would be ok to express our love together. What do you think?

In the gym last week I was getting ready to leave and this older guy, maybe 40 or 45 commented on how I made pullups look so easy. I said to him " Well I am sure when you were my age they were easy for you to" Is that rude to say to him, or not? Im just curious so next time I see him I can apologize if it was.

Do you think they the religion is a good choise? They know the bible pretty well and they seem to live very clean lives and spread the word of God even though they are critisized harshly. They are very organized throughout the world, isn't that one of the only religions that are that connected throughout the world. It seems with other religions that depending on what church you go to the beliefs change slightly to greatly. What do you think? and they really stand together when people are in need. Just pondering what God wants from his people.

It disturbs me to see so much hatred against god, his followers are constantly being persecuted and shunned. I mean if the USA is a place of freedom of religion then how come we must endure so much bias and hatred?


I think it is the "godless" who are responsible for all of the immorality that is going on, whether they are cheating on their spouses, blowing up abortion clinics, or flying into towers they are the reason of all the bad stuff that happens.





Just remember Lucifer still loves you ,all you monotheists!

Why do you Christians have to bother Atheist? The atheist have never bothered you. Why can't you just leave them alone and get alone with them? Is that too hard for you too do?

I've never been much of a talker. I feel awkward when I do. Sometimes it feels hard to form kinships with people because I haven't got a lot to say. I guess I could try to stay away from them but certain situations can't be avoided.
Thanks for anybody who answers seriously and genuinely.

It might be because Aztlan was a Hispanic-Mexican territory before 1848. . .

When I was younger in high school and collage I had groups of Christians usually led by someone I thought of as a friend attempt to save me. My husband tells me the same thing happens in the military except they aren’t as polite.
My oldest child told me today that her friends told her she would go to hell if she didn’t attend Church. For being ten years old came up with an interesting counter point. She told them, “When I’m with people that love me I am in Church, because Church is home, and home is where people love me.” Sorry I couldn’t help bragging her up a bit, she is a blessing.
I’m also remembering a Nun being vexed no end by a couple of fundamentalist that was trying to save her. Do any of you have stories of marauding bands of Christians out on patrol to convert the unwary to their way of thinking?

When a child God gave the gift of prophetic art, i say this because (my mom says that) i used to draw things of the spiritual realm, like demons and angels and things that were to happen later.
But by the passing of the years i got away from God and lost that gift. Now i'm with God again but don't know how to get that gift on again.
The question is
HOW DO I TURN ON THAT GIFT AGAIN?
