Society & Culture - 3 October 2007

So i have severe anxiety issues. As well as depression. I have been hurt so much in my life. My family has disowned me. I was once close to my family my sister being my best-friend. I truly miss those times. I dream about the times we had together. I now am dealing with alot of hurt. My heart is damaged. So after 6 years of intense anxiety. I was prescribe Adivant. It has helped me in more ways then one. I can breath with out pain in my chest. My neck isnt stiff anymore. My whole body is relaxed and calmed. I feel like i can focus on other things. Everything is being placed in perspective. I have yet to see my therapist about my antidepressants. Getting those will be a god sent! Those pills will help me deal with my emotional melt downs and help me focus on positive things. rebuilding relationships. Thank you to everyone that has helped me. I appreciate it. Please continue to pray for me though, dealing with a couple more health problems. Pray for me tonight. My name is Daniel Leroy.

I am an agnostic atheist. This is new for me and I am still learning. I want my children to educated enough to draw their own conclusions about religion. How can I go about educating them of various beliefs as well as my own without them thinking that 'Well mommy says this so it must be true'. I dont want them to think that just because I see things a certain way that automatically they should too. I want them to think things through for themselves. At what age should I start to teach them about religion? They are young, 6 & 3, and my 6 y.o. already asks questions about god and I answer them the best I know how without confusing him.
Any advice, opinions, or experiences would be helpful. Thanks!

According to evolutionists, if I'm right, mankind has evolved over millions and millions of years. Well, all those many years ago we learned how to use fire and began to cook meat, realizing it tasted better that way (never mind sushi). So, my question, since we haven't used our appendix in millions and millions of years to digest raw meat, why hasn't it disappeared yet. I mean, everything else about us has changed so much, what's up with that?

I work in health care and I am not allowed to accept any tips for what I do. I am providing a service as much as anybody else. I am a waitress, housekeeper, and caregiver all in one. Yet I am expected to give up 15-20% of my income to the hairdresser, masseuse, appliance delivery people, pizza boy, maintenance people, etc. So they get to make 15% more than what they are paid, and I get to keep 15% less?

for a 34 year old man I have known my entire life. One minute he was happy, enjoying his new motorcycle and time with his friends. A few minutes later he was dead. So I am home now from that, with a kick-in-the-butt reality check, realizing that no matter how much difficult life can be, I am here. I am alive.

So, my question is this... All the hate, anger, insults etc... here... is this how we should live our life? Life is short. Shouldn't we all try to be happy, to live and let live?

I have a family member who is an atheist. He has been one for years and it doesn't look like that is going to change any time soon. I have tried talking to him, but nothing seems to make any difference.

This is troubling, because I believe that the only way to Heaven is through Jesus. I do not want him to go to Hell.

Has anyone else gone through this experience?

I feel powerless.

Is there such a thing as cold?

You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, just the absence of it.

In Galatians 1:8-9, it is written:
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!”

So, certainly this is an extremely serious matter!

Therefore, let’s say you encountered a person who had never even heard of God’s laws, sin, hell, heaven, Jesus, or the Bible...

How exactly would you share the Gospel with them?

I.e. What exactly IS the true Gospel message?

Why is it when we answer your questions, explain our beliefs, defend our faith, and spread the good news of JESUS CHRIST....

....then all of a sudden we are "forcing our beliefs" on you or "shoving our religion down your throats"?!? What's with all the melodrama?

How can we force or shove anything on you?!? Are you that passive and submissive??? So weak and unable to defend yourself that an articulate, intelligent Christian is a threat to your whole specious belief system?!?

How about just admitting it?

All we are doing is telling you the truth; and to you, it feels like judgment.

Here's my side of the story, you know for a fact all religions are different. To me the different things we belive how to treat God
are just opinions because their different if they were the same religion it would be real. To me their is no wrong way to treat God good as long as you treat him with respect. People say that religion is bad because religions are different from each other and people will start arguing because they hear something they don't belive in that other religions do. So I'd like it if you can answer my question. Whats your side of the story?
