I am only human and can answer my e-mail, why doesn't God answer prayers?

And, if He is soooo great, why wouldn't he always answer in the affirmative, "yes, my child, I will pay the rent this month so that your babies won't have to live in the back of a Dodge Minivan".?

A senior project that involves a foreign language?

I asked this q before and got zero decent answers.

I have to find a new senior project by Friday, and I still don't know what it should be.

I was thinking of translating a bunch of songs from Spanish to English (Ojos de Brujo), but that might be a bit boring, and I'm not sure it'll get accepted. Any ideas?

By the way, I NEED to hand my idea application by Friday. Thanks.

a question for atheists?

There was a guy that saw you on the street. The guy that saw you on the street also saw a guy pointing a gun at you. This guy quickly jumped infront of you to save your life and sacrificed his.

Wouldn't you be grateful and accept his sacrifice so that you could live?

If the answer is yes then you should be happy because someone already did this for you!

Please consider this? No, seriously. Consider it?

[[Keep in mind, I'm an atheist, but am assuming the role of the Christian in this question, in order for it to be written in a way that people will easily understand. And yes, I'm aware I've already asked this, however, I'm hoping to obtain different viewpoints, by asking at a different time, when different people are online.]]

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but in my experience, every young child experiences the fear of a "monster" under the bed, or in the closet.

A child has no proof that it exists.
The child is afraid of it.
The child in question believes, truly and fully, that the "monster" is there.

Now consider this...
We have no proof that God exists.
We fear God.
We believe, truly and fully, that God is there.

Hrm...interesting.

When our children fear the monster under the bed, we help them to understand that it does not exist, and we comfort them.

But when our child fears God, we encourage it.

How do you feel about surgical castration for repeat sexual offenders?

Regardless on what we do, we will always have sexual offenders.

My question:
How do you feel about surgical castration for controlling sexual offenders. Besided the surgical removal of the testicles, the man would need to be tested to ensure that the tesosterone is removed and that no hormone replacement can be addministered. The net result is to have the man free of testosterone and undergo treatment for this new life.

How do you feel about this?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, read it yourself. Otherwise, noone is interested in what your preacher said, or what your churches dogma is.

Should I committ Suicide?

I am so extremely depressed. I am 21, I went to school to become a paralegal but cant find a job, despite numerous interviews, I am overweight..but I wasnt always this way. The man I love doesnt love me back and actually asked me for one of my other friends phone number( this literally crushed me) We're not in a relationship and he just comes around when he wants oral sex. I dont have any money and creditors are calling everyday all day long! My hair is thining and breaking off, I dont really have any hope for the future. Im so afraid of ending up like my mother and aunt, with an unfufilled life. Its like I CANT CATCH A BREAK! i just want to be forgiven for my sins and move on,...but GOD is not making it easy. I thought he loved me...but sometimes i dont think he does. I struggle to stay on this earth every day in hopes of it getting better one day.
