Lately, I feel confused about god. Recently I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, but theres one problem, I feel like I was just saying the words and going through the motions and I want to mean every word so badly but theres this empty feeling when I say them. I'm not very old, so I was wondering is this just a phase alot of people go through? Or is there something more to it and should I talk to someone about it?

Recently, in a conversation, I was advised by a Christian that generally, the reason why non Christians reject Christianity is there is something about their lifestyles that Christianity deems a "sin." Since they don't want to lose that part of their lifestyle, they reject Christianity.

Personally, I find it rediculous. However, I am curious... how many of you are against Christianity because it is against something that you practice/stand for/live/etc? Like, homosexuals, or wiccans for instance, may just not like Christianity period, or may have otherwise been neutral or maybe even for it, if it weren't for Christianity's attack on their ways.

Just curious about your thoughts on the matter

What is that one saying by Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) regarding the interaction between the opposite sexes? It is something about a man and woman never being alone because the devil is between them. I need the exact quote please and thanks.

it is a big shame that "pathetic" doesn't somehow fit into the word.

That you feel you told as many people close to you as you could about heaven and hell and judgement. Or do you hold off on some people because it seems they won't be receptive, or you might get embarrased.

Is there a beyond? Because you are not interested in the everyday things and the happenings around you, you have invented a thing called the 'beyond', or 'timelessness', or 'God', 'Truth', 'Reality', 'Brahman', 'enlightenment', or whatever, and you search for that. There may not be any beyond. You don't know a thing about that beyond; whatever you know is what you have been told, the knowledge you have about that. So you are projecting that knowledge. What you call 'beyond' is created by the knowledge you have about that beyond; and whatever knowledge you have about a beyond is exactly what you will experience. The knowledge creates the experience, and the experience then strengthens the knowledge.
What you know can never be the beyond. Whatever you experience is not the beyond. If there is any beyond, this movement of 'you' is absent. The absence of this movement probably is the beyond, but the beyond can never be experienced by you; it is when the 'you' is not there.

I have been trying to change it to some thing for Christmas. I guess I forgot how to do it, I don't know. But it keeps telling me that I have to down load the Macromedia Flash Player (MFP). I do that and it does down load successfully, but still tells me to down load MFP every time. So please how do I change my avatar?

Does the charity of believers most often focus on religion-related things?

What are your favorite ways of giving (or favorite organizations)?

If you kill yourself to save another persons life do you still go to hell for commiting suicide?

Thanks!

Why not just say - God, or whoever you are, a lot of people say that you are real. A lot of people say you aren't. I don't know who to believe because people are liars, thieves, wicked and evil in all situations so why not in religion? I would like to know the real truth, as it comes from you - not Jimmy Swaggart, Tammie Faye and Jim Bakker, Jerry Falwell - no but from you alone. If you can show me your real nature in the next few days, I will never ever believe a man or woman again who claims to know you but then goes about their life setting nothing but bad examples.
Of course this would require an open mind and so many people who just can't believe in God don't have the ability to open their minds. You're missing out.

Throughout history people have had gods to explain the world around them. There have been a lot of gods devoted to fertility, wars, harvests, etc. If you look at other religions they seem to mimic the characteristics dominant to the culture that practices them. Maybe instead of God making us in His image, we make gods in our image. Any thoughts?

I respect Christianity and other monotheistic religions, but just thought this was an interesting question because I believe Catholics think that the wafer becomes the actual body of Christ after it is blessed. I could be wrong about that so let me know, but if I'm right, then she must be allergic to Jesus!
