& they think that just because I'm 24 with a college degree, I'm supposed to know EVERYTHING or else I'm stupid & naive. Isn't 24 too old to be naive? & what can I do to make myself more sophisticated & worldly?

I was reading Hadith and saw Haya. It mentioned it was a part of faith that included many concepts including modesty, but didn't give a real definition. Later I saw Haya' and didn't think it was the same, but again no explanation of what it is.

Thank you for your help.

I like this one, not Burma Shave, but Heinz Catsup:

Shake and shake
the catsup bottle.
None will come ...
and then a lot'l!

or ...

A man, a miss,
a car, a curve -
He kissed the miss
and missed the curve.

BURMA SHAVE!

accidents or other things that cause death as God's will. Can Some one please explain?
It really does not make any sense to me that people say things such as "it was God's will" or "why God?" when people lose a loved one. I can not understand how people say that we have free will, but then do not accept it. If I chose to go swimming in the Zambezi River there is a good chance that I will be eaten by a crocodile. If I jump out of an airplane without a parachute I will die on impact when I hit the ground. If I decide to drive to the grocery store and get hit by a person that ran a red light and die how is God responsible? I even have the ability to take medicine to kill bacteria and infections that would have killed me had I not taken it. So do believers actually not believe in free will? If they do why do they not realize that we are the ones responsible and not God? People are always at risk of death, but we can put ourselves in situations where we are more vulnerable to it.

Banning people from wearing certain articles of clothing like saggy pants and short shorts or skirts. Not to mention freedom of speech is going right out the window.

Jesus taught “Love you God with all your heart and all your soul.” And “Love your fellow man as you love yourself.”

Mohammed taught “Fear God, for he delights in torturing unbelievers in the afterlife.” And “Obey Mohammed in everything he says.”

Jesus’ teachings built upon the law of Moses, amplifying them and bringing them into focus. Mohammed’s teachings brought him wealth and power and sex, but seemed to have little to do with Moses' teachings.

Why is this, if the message is supposed to have come from the same God?

My parents recently died and I was going through their paperwork To pay some of their bills and I found an adoption paper, it stated I was adopted when I was 3 months old, plus there was a Baptismal Certificate saying I was Baptised in the Catholic Church, before the adoption, they never told me, they must have their reasons, and I don't hate them for not telling me.

I have wanted to become a Catholic for a long time and also a Priest, I feel this is my calling

I am 24 and after all this time, my parents never took me to Mass, am I a Catholic or do I have to start over again?

This is the main reason people are undecided about any monotheistic religion. If God loves us, knows what we need in order to believe in Him, and has the ability to provide that, why doesn't He? If He has power over Satan, why does he allow Satan to sway us?

You say that because we are all ''short of the Glory of God'' we need to take Jesus as our ''Saviour'', but GOD is the one that made us weak / imperfect, so what makes you think that he would expect us to be anything more than that ? If God made us weak then he will not question us for every small sin that we do, why Can't I just repent TO GOD, without saying that ''I'm worthless so I'll just take Jesus as a Saviour'' ?

Do you think that today he would reject Evangelical mainstream thought and reach out to those shunned today?

I wonder if my issue with Christianity isn't so much with the New Testament as it is with the current followers of the New Testament.

Anyone out there at all that feels the same way?

Better question, why can't they answer them?

You know questions about how a supposedly loving god creates an unfair system of hell.
Questions about free will and the problem of evil

Things like that

Wouldn't their time be better spent thinking up some answers? Instead of getting angry or regurgitating a bunch of cut and paste quotes from a holy book.
