i want to get a bible studies BA degree, but what can i do with it? I dont want to become a missionary or minister. I want to learn it for myself, but what other kind of job could i get? Even being a church receptionist would be ok, it doesnt really matter, but what other options do i have ?

Is that possible? I was brought up in an atheist family so ive been taught to believe god aint real.

However, sometimes i want to believe in a god, i mean... what if God IS REAL? I guess im more agnostic than atheist because i dont deny god nor do i believe in him... but that doesnt mean i cant lean either way - id like to look deeper into Christianity.

However is that possible? I am now 18, brought up atheist, can i be converted or is it to late? Think of it this way - 18 years of athiesim will leave me always doubting certain aspects of christianity. Most christians were kinda born and raised christian, but u dont hear of fully grown people converting. Because of this, i may never be able to fully accept god because it is mentally impossible for me to believe in him 100% from the way my brain has been wired from childhood by my parents and education, my way of analysing information (such as the bible) is concrete in my athiest bred brain.

So how would you rescue an ex athiest?

not meaning to insult, but you don't seem to make your own research.

Have you risen above old teaching about different folks & their way of life or do you still hold onto the old teachings?

I'm really not depressed, but I really somedays have no hope in life. It feels like we have about a million obstacles to everything daily, including our own health problems on top of it all. Merely having to survive with about a billion people around, makes it the more depressing.

Everywhere you go, you're basically a statistic, or a transaction number, feeding some nameless huge corporation around you, and they dupe you into thinking that if you work for one, you'll be happy and have this wonderful life.

lol.

This whole world for whatever reason, at least in America, seems to be, strip malls, parking lots, highways, businesses, cell phones, cars, clothes, shopping, it's all money based, and fake. It's like we're walking statistics who shop, work, think, go to school, like robots.

Then you have the god thing. WHAT god?!?!? No loving God would ever have let this world exist throughout history, torturing all of us to the extent it can.

so is this realistic or am i wrong?

I think if god exists, his plan might be something like this:
create earth, provide sustenence for man, make man, give him knowledge, give him a set of rules, and move on to something else. If he is "our father", and when we are in "his house", we go over the set of rules he gave us (the bible), wouldnt he want us to leave the house and be on our own eventually? What do you think?

If you think animals don't have any souls
why do you pray for them?
My crazy religious (Christian) neighbor said
animals don't have souls as soon as she saw my
new Siamese cat she said she would pray for him.
Because he had a sneezing problem with the booger
flying and all. If you believe animals don't have any souls
and they are just shells then why would you pray for one?

But Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) the Portuguese navigator and explorer, the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean said,

"The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church."

Ok

Catholics: Do you think Protestants are hellbound?
Protestants: Do you think Catholics are hellbound?

Bonus question: If you said no, then what is the point of there being a division between Catholic or Protestant churches?

Bonus question #2: If you said yes, is God more offened by an atheist, or the person who joined the counterfeit Christianity?

Please give explaination for your answer.
