So throughout the past several months I've started to have problems with my lack of faith towards God. I try and I pray but I just can't get myself to believe in him. It's so frusterating when you want God in your heart but your mind is blocking it.

I know it's pathedic I'm looking for God on yahoo answears.

Help?

I dont want to be an athesist anymore

I know someone with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) who will not quit smoking, and is therefore constantly ill with bronchitis and pneumonia.

I know of a person with severe arthritis in her legs, who is so crippled by her disease that only surgery will help. Her arthritis would be cured by surgery, completely gone, and she would have a normal life. Yet she refuses.

I find it exceedingly difficult to continue being sympathetic and compassionate to these people, (and others like them) and I find I am distancing myself from them. I may even be a little bitter, because their refusal to help themselves is affecting everyone around them negatively, yet they don't see it.

How do you continue to deal with people who just drag you down with them?

Do Atheist holidays exist? I would like to invite my family to celebrate something that I believe, just as I attend Christmas, Easter, christenings, etc with them. What are some Atheist celebrations you participate in?

I think that I will seek to simplify my life this year and to spend more time in prayer, reading, and service. What about you?

Does repeated exposure of a person via TV or movies or magazines make that person more attractive in the public's eyes? Celebrities are just regular people.

Please play along, I've been thinking about this for quite some time.

Just imagine that everyone suddenly doesn't believe in God.
(Kind ones, ignorant ones, selfish ones etc.)

Do you believe that there will be a moral degradation without the fear of God? Or do you believe things are going to be better?
Please share your thoughts!


Oh and I've just been told (again) that I'm actually an Agnostic, not Atheist.

Or, are you blindly accepting what someone told you?

Revelation, or revealed religion, is defined in Webster's New World Dictionary as: "God's disclosure to man of Himself." This should read, "God's alleged disclosure to man of himself." For unless God reveals to each of us individually that a particular religion is truly His disclosure to us of Himself, then, by believing that religion, we are not taking His word for it, but we are instead putting our belief in the person or institution telling us it is so. This is what we are doing when we believe in any revealed religion, and that's all Christianity is. It's a revealed religion like many others such as Islam and Judaism.

If Jesus is the son of GOD, doesn't that mean that the FATHER is GOD.

When Jesus was praying to the FATHER, he was praying to GOD.

The trinity was never known to the Jews, so ONLY the FATHER is GOD.

My university has these alternative student breaks where we take a class on a subject for a quarter and it culminates with a trip to that region of the U.S...or country in my case. Though my university has decreased the cost it is still pretty expensive for me. Are there community service grants out there or other institutions that award money for these types of adventures?

Thanks!

Not saying this happens a lot but it does happen to me. I can be very nice to a female and she responds mean to me and calls me creepy. I can act a little socially awkward when I first meet someone. It's more or less a shy thing. Do you feel that a person has the right to call another person creepy for being awkward, different, older or even unattractive? Keep in mind, I never show any disrespect and I'm well natured. Should I respond to a woman that calls me creepy with, "Well you're mean... and.. and.. and fat!" Probably not, but it wouldn't be any different than how they treated me. Most nice women can't understand their behavior either and see nothing wrong with how I act or my appearance.

John marched towards the antediluvian gate;he knew he was about to approach danger.

Sarah's chest throbed with pain;she clutched it in agony.

Harry entered the great dungeon;he knew he wouldn't come out alive;two eyes stared at him ravenously.


I'm not really sure about the last one, i tried to be a bit more adventurous as I've noticed that in books some authors use 2 semi-colons in one sentence-is the last sentence correct in punctuation? And what about the other ones?

Pick one, please:

Which is more likely, A or B?

A) I think I'm here because of the process of evolution through natural selection.

B) I think I'm here because Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
