I smoke marijuana every now and then. I've gone to church high before and I have also smoked in an empty church parking lot.

I like to watch porn but only when I am masterbating. I like to treat myself at least once a day.

I believe in God. He's cool. I pray to him sometimes but it's usualy only when I am in need of help.

I haven't been going to church lately and I don't really have a good excuse for not going.

I have stolen over two to three thousand dollars worth of stuff in my lifetime. I'm 19 -almost 20 and sometimes I'm 21 because I have a fake ID which I use to purchase alcohol with and drink underage legally.

I like to gamble because I feel lucky and good at poker.

I have a sexy tattoo on a very hot part of my body that girls can't help but love.

I like watching fights. Watching two guys going all out is bad a*s.

I feel like a bad a*s sometimes.

I have a sexy body. It's almost to die for

I once wrote a sad poem about a guy not making it to heaven

OK

Sunday is the day that we are not to work, right?

Then how come on sunday there is a huge rush in stores and restaurants...

Ok, so they get out of church service and go out to eat thus supporting sinners who are working on the this holy day

THEN

they go out and do all their choirs and errands by grocery shopping and stuff like that

is this a bit hypocritical ?


what do you think?

participate in the regular Miss America pageant (often winning). Wouldn't there be OUTRAGE if there was a White Miss America Pageant? Wouldn't that be racist?

I have become like Ecc.7:7 says but giving it my best under my unique unreal circumstances only Jehovah knows in ALL its details. One thing after another has tried to make me give up and go back to my old ways but that has not happened and with Jehovah help will not. As I have ask many times, please forever my writing skills!

I go back and forth on this. Sometimes I look back on my life at all the great times and think that it could not get any better than that. And then sometimes I wonder what pleasant surprises life still has to offer.

It was a very hard book to read. I'm 40 years old and I've seen a lot of bad things in the world over my lifetime. But the things in the book were horrifying. What religions do in the name of their gods is appaling, degrading, sickening and repulsive. There were times I had to put the book down after reading only a few pages. How anyone who is religious, read this book and STILL be religious is beyond me.
Has anyone else read it and what are your thoughts?

This is an expansion of a yesterday question. If Heaven needs a gate them Heaven is like a walled city and the Hell is outside I assume. This is a Medieval concept or not ?

I’m going to a tattoo done on Friday in honor of mi primo leaving for Iraq for an 18 month tour of duty. I want to have the following script tattooed in Spanish. Before anyone makes a smart *** comment, I am Mexican American, but my Spanish is horrible and I just need to have someone verify it for me.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."—Ephesians 2:8

Many denominations or groups teach a "faith plus" type of salvation. There was a problem in the early church with Jewish converts to Christianity teaching that gentiles also had to keep the law to be saved. This teaching was rebuked by the Paul in the book of Romans. So, why do some continue to base their salvation on how many "good works" they can do?

looks like they could be used to investigate the crop circles and bring the culprits out in the open unless of course they are fakes,but i think they are too accirate to be fake,so why not used them to help solve these mysteries?

when Ghandi tried to convert to Christianity he was thrown out of a Baptist Church ( which is against the Bible teachings). Ghandi got up and told them " if this is the Christ you worship, i'd rather worship a cow". Please, well focused serious answers from Baptists only! ( think before you answer) i know all religions have a dark history. & Thanks
