I was raised Christian, but right now I'm having a hard time believing in god at all. So it seems I'm going to hell. I'm depressed about this. Help?

....174 years later? Sounds like there's been some rewriting of history going on.

I just had this huge internet debate with someone who wasn't too happy with my opinion of Luther Vandross being a homosexual man. People seem to take the assumption of someone being gay as form of disrespect for some reason. I personally feel that ppl who think that way sees homosexuality as a bad thing, which falls into homophobic attitudes. I know there's all this biblical stuff surrounding homosexuality, which is an entirely other subject altogether, but my question is, did u think Luther Vandross was gay?

Because reading American history, it is clear those things are what made America what it is today--except back then, they called it "manifest destiny." What Christian values are they talking about???

I still owe 13 days. I have fasted 16 so far. It so sucks that I was not able to fast any of Ramadan. During Ramada I was so sick from the beginning of my pregnancy then I had a miscarriage. I think I can knock these last 13 days out with in the next couple months then go back to my regular Mon and Thurs fasting.

I am an Asian girl. I have many conversation regarding to marriage and the Green Card.

There are many people from every ethnicity (Asian, White, Balck)asked me--Do you want to marry an American man to get a Green Card?

I was like..Hah!---Thinking: " I am a victim of stereotyping again..."

P.S.

Unfortunately, many Asian women want to be in America so they get marry in order to stay here, but why do American men marry them?

I probably didn't spell that right.

but what is wrong with their religion, I'm not quite understanding what is wrong.

I hear that they think they need to work to go to heaven, but can you tell me about it.

This is a weird question, I know, but I need to find out if I'm the loony one here.

My brother-in-law thinks it's fine to go without his pants or underwear when he's in his house. My sister thought it was kinda crude and trashy when he started it, but had to admit that it IS their house and it's private and nobody else is around. But one day he didn't know I was in the kitchen talking to her and he came out of the bedroom with only his T-shirt on and then he quickly covered his privates and told me not to be a perv and accused me of sneaking around his house. What the heck?!

So, is this normal behavior? I've heard of guys relaxing in their undershorts, but totally uncovered? Thoughts?

a person's religion is between them and whoever, or whatever they believe in. people on here need to stop trying to change others. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and beliefs, no matter who you are, and that goes the same religion wise. muslim, christian, jewish, hindu, atheist, etc., they get to believe in what they want, and everyone else has no right to say otherwise!!!
do you agree?

Were you living in your own private hell? How did you get of it? Are you still affected by it? What have you learned?

Note: Okay you don't believe in hell, I get it. Just substitute the word hell for something else.

Are these people too square for normal stuff, who hate sex, and are generally uptight? Do they drink prune juice? Are they pimply virgins?

If I ask if a Christian is a sinner, I will get answers which say, "Yes, I'm not perfect, just forgiven," and, "Yes, I still sin or slip up, but my sins are forgiven by Jesus."

Then, if I ask if some infamous or generally disliked person was or is a Christian, I'll immediately get answers that, "No, he might have said he was a Christian, but he wasn't a "true" Christian!"

So, let me get this straight. A Christian is still a sinner, but only if they don't commit the sins other Christians personally dislike the most. Is that about right?

My neighbors are so rude they moved in about 6 or 7 months ago, and ever since then they have their dog bark every, single, day! (The dog sounds extremely mean too!) And they NEVER make their dog stay inside or even attempt to stop their dog from barking. And after their dog starts our dogs bark back at them. My mom always makes our dogs come inside, but they don't do crap! Is there any way I could get them to have enough courtesy to make their dog shut up?

men who believe that God instructed them to invade other countries such as gwbush; and the other Stalins and Mussolini's of the world?
So many useless killings, murders and massacres. All have continued throughout the ages with no end in sight.
So --
I'm told that God has a plan for each and every one of us.
Thus
What is the plan for men like the aforementioned?

pls if you are not a christian, feel free to NOT answer

Deuteronomy 5:21- Neither shall you covet your neighbour’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbour’s house, or field, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.

Exodus 20:17-You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.

here's my question: i am looking at my neighbors house, and i am like 'i wish our house looks like that. look at the grass, its so green'(but you have no intention to steal or kill anything/anyone)

OR you look at a family that has everything going well for them, and you are like 'i wish my family was like that'(but you have no intention to steal or kill anything/anyone)

have you/i broken the 10th commandment?
