Are any of you pretending to believe in God, but actually feeling that maybe, deep down, there is no God? Maybe going along with friends, family, etc., going to church and all that, but not really believing? Are any of you afraid to reveal your doubts to others?

Just wondering.

How long before you realize the pattern which surrounds you? How long before you realize the value of all which surrounds you?

You could say the cycle is endless and it's value is deceitful.

Christians, If when You and I pray to the lord almighty, as I understand, sometimes your prayers become true, sometimes they will not come true(Never), and sometimes the G.O.D man makes you wait a long time before it becomes true. Think about this, with these Statistics couldn't I just pray to, lets say..... my Playstation 3 and get the same results??

I would think that the smallest sin after I accept Christ, would be grounds for casting me into hell, because every time I sin, I'm basically "opting out" of my salvation, especially if I don't repent until later. So unless every sin is accounted for in repentance, is salvation an on and off thing throughout my life?

If parents are currently indoctrinating their children to the dogma of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, will we have an entire generation that sees it as its mission to spread the word, and convert all heretics?

It seems that younger people NEVER use them (as if we don't need to know that they're about to turn in front of us) and older people never turn them OFF. Every day or so I seem to follow some old duffer for about ten miles on the freeway with their left blinker on!

Are you really, seriously, ok with believing that other people, if not "saved", are going to be sent to Hell by your "loving" God, to suffer unimaginably for all eternity?

Really?

I saw a beautiful morn dawn.
A glorious chilly day.
The wind was crisp and cool.
It took my breath away.
I heard Him in the sunrise
,I felt Him in the breeze.
His love was written in the water,
Displayed in all the trees.
I knelt within the chapel.
Felt His warm embrace.
I cried when He came to me.
There was no disgrace.
I thanked Him for the Sacrament
.Begged Him to remain all day.
To guard my mind and heart
.And help me not to stray.
He's with me still this moment.
Within my soul He does dwell.
Dear God let me go to Heaven
As there is no Communion in Hell!

are Christians just Jews gone bad. Jesus's own people did not believe his nonsense -- why then Christian do you? Jews did not abandon their beliefs it was the pagan Romans that embraced Christianity some 300 years after Jesus's death. And they were the ones who but the bible STORYS together to publish the bible --- hand picking and editing every story to fit thier view. not one word in the bible was written by god.
