To church by myself? I don't go to church as often as I would like to because i'm away from my family and my home church and living somewhere else. There is a church I like to go to but I don't like to go by myself. Church starts in a couple of hours and I know that if my friend doesn't go then I won't go either. I don't know why. Everyone is really nice and very welcoming at this church but I just feel shy going to church alone. I know it's stupid so how do I stop only going to church when someone is there to go with me?

Was the Bible compiled by politicians (by compiled I mean they choose which Gospels to add etc and which to leave out)?
Is there really a Gopel of Mary Magdalene?
Did the church demonize other beliefs/people they did not want included/worshipped etc (ie the Pagan horned God became the basis for a horned devil)?

I know what I think but I was wondering is this taken to be true by everyone or just some? Are these ideas offensive to Christians (sorry if they are, I mean no offence... just curious)?

"Those who die in the Lord will rise "first", and those that remain and are alive,
will be taken up with them to meet Christ in the air!"

Christians tend to think that complex structures we see in the Universe must point to an Intelligent Designer..

I for one feel that God is a horrible Designer and the human body is saddled with vulnerability to viruses and bacteria, vestigial traits and weak physical attributes (compared to many mammals)

I give God a 4/10.

All prophesy is self-fulfilling. Because it takes into account human nature.
Stubbornness when it comes to heeding warnings, and the overreacting when
the problems come!

Mary Madelene,,she was not the prostute as people believe it is written seven demons were cast out of her..
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
This is in the bible..

we have
taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways,
but narrower viewpoints. We spent more, but have less,
we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more
conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but
less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more
experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less
wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too
recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too
angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We
have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our
values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate
too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years. We've
been all the way to the moon and back, but have
trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.We
conquered outer space but not inner space. We've
done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've
conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write
more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish
less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build
more computers to hold more information, to produce
more copies than ever, but we communicate less and
less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships. These are the days of two incomes but
more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These
are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway
morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and
pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to
kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom
window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when
technology can bring this letter to you, and a time
when you can choose either to share this insight, or
to just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,because
they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow
up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
because that is the only treasure you can give with
your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and
your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and
an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from
deepinside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time
to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Do you like this Iranian pop music?

Imagine! Even if it is hard to imagine
a world where each person is truly fortunate!
Imagine a world where money, race, and power have no place!
a world where riot police is not the answer to the calls for unity!
a world with no nuclear bombs, no artillery, and no bombardments!
a world where no child will leave his legs on land mines!
Everybody free, totally free!
no one in pain, no pain!
You wouldn't read in newspapers that
You won't read in newspapers that whales committed suicide!
Imagine a world with no hatred, no gunpowder,
no cruelty of arrogant, no fear, no coffin!
Imagine a world filled with smile and freedom!
full of flowers and kisses! Filled with up-growing improvements!
Imagine! Even if it is a crime to imagine so!
even if you'd lay down your life on this!
Imagine a world where prison does not exist in reality,
where all wars of the world are included in ‘The Ceasefire Treaty'!!
a world where nobody is ‘The Boss' of the world!
people are all equal!
Then each person will have an equal share in
each single seed of wheat!
No border, no boundaries – motherland would mean the entire world!
imagine you could be the interpretation of this dream!

I started hearing that Jeus used canabis. If it's okay for Jesus, then isn't it okay for me?
