Fact: Prayer will never be answered. If God has spoken to you, chances are you have a mental disability or someone is playing a prank on you.

1. Sexual incidents occuring in the form of pedophelia
2. The misconstruement that clergy cannot marry just because Jesus, himself, chose no bride
a. Man is not Jesus and is not the Son of God, therefore is not as strong as Jesus to refrain from all sin the way He did. Yet Catholic priests do attempt abstination of sex which leads to horrific outcomes
a. Pedophelia, as I have already mentioned, for one. I also know that when I was Roman Catholic and went to parochial school priests and nuns were known to get together for sexual encounters. In one case a priest and a nun gave up being a priest and nun so that they could get married. From this, another sin breeds: hipocracy.

Sometimes it seems like im paralyzed in the middle of the night. Then I hear someone cursing at me. Once it even touched me "down there" and pulled my hair. When I pray or call Jesus name it goes away. Please help me... Im even scared to go to sleep.

If God made Adam and Eve, why didn't he just make them perfect? Why mention the forbidden fruit to them?

When I leave my house, and I start to rome,
I'll be looking for my true home.
And I'll start down that path, full of shame,
And I'll wonder if anything will ever be the same.
And not long after when the jouney will start,
There will come a time when the roads will part.
One side will lead to happiness, the other to sin.
And I'll be dreading the answer on which one will pull me in.
So I'll stand right where I am, surrounded by night,
When from afar will come a bright light.
And I'll follow the light, for the light shows the way.
And the light will bring joy to my ever day.
And the bring me to my true home,
And I will be happy, no more will I rome.

Was this ever written down in the bible or other sacred texts?

It seems to me that preaching is a waste of time. A blasphemer cannot be saved. That sin is unforgivable, and denying the Holy Ghost is one way to blaspheme.

So, if someone is not a Christian, then there are two reasons:
1. He has denied Christ and the Holy Ghost.
2. He is unaware of Christ and the Holy Ghost.

If the former, then you are wasting your breath. No matter what you do, that blasphemer is going to Hell. As soon as someone says, "I don't believe in God," he cannot be saved. A preacher would be more effective helping the poor and starved.

If the latter, then you take a big risk with that person's soul. He has not blasphemed against the Holy Ghost. But if you teach him about Christ, he has the opportunity to. Many believe that God does not punish those who are truly innocent (such as children). An ignorant person stands a good chance at Heaven until you preach to him and give him the opportunity to blaspheme.

So, what benefit lies in preaching?

Why do both turn to dirt when they decay? Shouldn't female corpses turn to ribs?

Does this mean that all the human skeletons that we find are female? Or do they belong to men who weren't holy enough to turn to dirt?

I mean, they aren't really covered in any of the holy texts are they? And in most of these religions, man is created in the image of God right? So what if the aliens look nothing like us?

I'm tired of hearing bits and pieces of what you believe. I really want to understand. I also know nothing about the Koran or anything really. I don't want to accidently offend any of my friends and it would be helpful if I knew where they are coming from. (I'm christian)
