Religion & Spirituality - 6 October 2006

I'm sixteen and this year I did the fourty hour famine for World Vision (this charity that feeds, clothes, schools and homes kids living in poverty). I tried to collect as much money as I could for the school prize, so it ended up being motivated by greed. Last year I did it because I wanted to help them. I gave one hundred and sixty dollars out of my own wallet(I get hundred a month for clothes, movies, stationary what ever I need) so it seemed like alot, but I was sure I would have plenty more money coming my way so I tried not to worry. I just ended up feeling bitter. How can I stop being so self-absorbed, and would god be angry at me for being so greedy and selfish?

By the Light of the full-moon here it goes.
Astral projection (oobe) and witchcraft exp. are a plus. Your "will-power" to exp. this must be focused, and notably strong too. The process entails (switching lifelines.) Adults only!
Physical age 26- healthy, and handsome. I'm very open for exploration. Though I'm happy, I'm quite detached, and in the mood to have some fun. If you're trully interested in considering it, please email me. There is far too much written material to the process for including it here. I can explain it better with an email.
I'm quite excited about maybe meeting someone who shares a common interest, and who would consider attempting to manifest a switch with me.
Is there anyone out there who has enough interest to actually hit me up? Like I said before if your will to know and experience this is strong enough, and you're consciously advanced on a spiritual note- the possibilities are absolutely boundless. IM or email me.
Namaste and Blessed Be.

I was out with some friends today when i came across a wallet with four hundred dollars in it,did you see that? I said 400 big ones! My friends told me we should split it three ways, but I decided (because i have a conscious) that i should return the wallet money and all, to the rightful owner,Did i do the right thing?
I feel bad because i thought about taking the money because i had 6.00 bucks to my name that i spent, but i just know that no good would've come to me.I just need for someone who's spiritual to re assure me and tell me that i did the right thing, please.

I am pregnant (22), due in 4.5 weeks. A month ago the babies dad my ex boyfriend (23) kicked me out of his parents house told me he didn't love me or want to be with me anymore. This was literally over night. One minute he said we had made it and we were going to be together forever and 12 hours later he needed me gone. Then he started playing these head games with me saying I want to be a family and then turning around and showing totally different. Recently I found out he is running around with a 34 year old married woman, and he is very far into an addiction of cocaine and alcohol.

He texts me daily saying he loves me and cares about me. He will say we can work this out and then say we will never be able to be together.

Can you please pray for me, my baby and for the Lord to open this mans eyes. And take Satan out of our lives. I need all the help I can get. And for Him to show us the way?

If a murderer walks into a church and confesses what he has done to a priest, it is confidential and cannot be used in a court of law. If a child molester confesses, that too is confidential and not allowed to be used in a court of law.

How do you religious types feel about the fact that you are protecting murders and people who rape children from being prosecuted? Does that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

Do you not see how wrong this is? Do you not see that if this priest were to tell someone about what he had heard and goes to the police that he could possibly save someones, or some childs life? Does that not bother you at all?

I am really interested in knowing what kind of insane excuses you guys are going to come up with for this one. Please, flame away, you're just as good at it as I am :)

I raised Jewish. I don't believe it anymore. In fact, I don't think I ever really did. How many people really honestly believe the crap they tell other people?

This was inspired by the Death Penalty question just a few threads down. HAVE you ever witnessed a death? How did it affect you?

Then if you gave me a bad reason then I'd stop loving you. It is neither good or bad it just is. I do not need a reason I just do. So, if I didn't inherit salvation through good works how can I lose something I never earned through bad works? Do you love with no strings attached? With no intended outcome?

I've only been to church twice in my life. I want to start going again, but i'm scared. i've sinned so bad and I'm scared God wont want me. I heard that God forgives all is this true? And if it is how? I believe in God but I know close to nothing about him or the bible. is it normal to be scared to go to church?

Psalm 14 (New International Version)
" 5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous. "

Psalms 14 appears to be speaking of Atheists, if this is the case I am not overwhelmed with dread. To me that is a contradiction.. unless I am not reading it correctly.

If my parents both had different upbringings and were educated differently and one word may have a different meaning to each of them why fuss over words? If a word has special meaning to me and not to you does there have to be only one definition? If I were to call you a name and you reacted to it then you must believe that about yourself. It is only a word, like a cuss word is only a word but we give so much power over to it. What if we didn't react but understood that words mean different things to different people. Isn't that what makes life so fun we share our differences in common?
