Society & Culture - 9 September 2007

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment.
She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to
say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEEE, your mom only has one eye!"
I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only goanna make
me a
laughing stock, why don't you just die?"

My mom did not respond...
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said,
because
I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house

I ask this because its a huge part of study for my religion and I have noticed many Christians, especially younger ones have no knowledge of the history of thier faith, the good AND the bad. Is that important to you?
And no I'm not being a smart ***. I'm really curious. I see denials of things that Christians did. I have never heard "Yes it happened it's a part of our past. In the end we learned from the mistakes." All I ever hear is "That wasn't us that was the ________"
Do you not honestly know the history of the church?

Ok, I'm new to Christianity, but isn't Jesus a bastard by definition?

If you say my Self is nothing more than electrical impulses in the brain, then I say that the will of the Self is what causes this.

What causes the will of the Self?

You.

You are that cause.

And since the Self, (YOU) are outside of your body, you are not tangently connected to the physical world. You are immortal.

Preferably character transformation, like Abram changing over to Abraham. Or Doubting Thomas doesn't believe in Jesus' wounds until he touches them, then he has no more doubts.

Examples like that would be much appreciated!

I also ask that if you are just going to waste my time, get a fukking life. Nobody wants to read hate messages like "The Bible is garbage" and shitt. I am just asking this question for help. Also, please don't tell me to do my own homework. You don't know anything about me, yet you judge me? Back the **** off.

I've read the bible every day, go to church almost every sunday, I fast every 1st sunday and am beginning to fast EVERY sunday so that God will help me. I try to be the best person that I can. But I haven't noticed any change in my life, the one thing I've been praying for now seems pointless. I don't know what to do. I feel alone.

I know Victoria and Albert were first cousins, but several of heir grandchildren and great grandchildren also married first cousins. However, no King or Queen since V & A has married a close relative.

Have you ever wondered what people thing right before they commit suicide? And also once they reach the other side are they upset or happy about what they did?

I have wondered this because I want to know what makes a person go that step further to actully pulling the trigger of a gun or actully slitting their wrist...or so on. I some people dont do it because they are actually afraid of death and afraid of whats may be on the otherside, so this fear how can i say--keeps them at bay.

what do you think?

almost every catholic i have talked to thinks that the pope is god, which if they believe that then aren't they commiting a sin? Cristians believe that worshiping false gods is wrong. Catholics are Christians and they do worship the pope like he is a deity. So wouldn't all Catholics be committing a sin by worshiping a false god like the pope?

Why has God not written in the bible about space ever, why is the bible limited to earth???
I have not read the bible btw, so if there is any Christians out there that can refer to any passages about space then I would be very interested to read them, but it just seems strange that for such a big thing I have never heard of God referring to it
