Religion & Spirituality - 25 January 2007

I am having a really tough time lately. My girlfriend of 4.5 years recently left me. I am having a really tough time dealing with it. I know thatin the end God has a plan for me. I just can't seem to get it together. I cry alot and have no motivation for anything. This is my down season for work so I am basically unemployed for the next 6-8 weeks. I just mope I don't pray for things to easier I just pray to get stronger. I also ask that you would pray for my ex girlfriend I am sure she is having tough time also. I don't hate her and wish nothing but happiness as much as it hurts me to say this. Thank you and God bless.

what was the reason for your current views about God?

a. that is the way you were taught- that is the way you have always believed.

b. you used to believe a different way, but you observed something on TV or elsewhere, and changed your mind

c. you used to believe differently, but you had bad personal experiences which made you turn away from believing to the way you believe now.

d- other reason

if it was c or d, what happened?

thank you

Instead of trying to prove that God is existent we must try to prove that he or she is alive. Musnt we? But how can we prove it? There must be a formula to prove that she or he is alive.. Right? Otherwise we must accept the premise of the atheists......

Any tips for a Christian who does not know much more than God's existence? I've never gone to Church, and it's not possible for me to, (there are no "decent" churches around me, so my parents will not allow me to go) and I don't know what else to do. I would really like to independently study my religion, but I don't know where to begin?

Here are all my deleted questions.

========================

Could somebody please report this question?

Do you think somebody by the name of Chainsaw would give good advice about ending terrorism?

When is the shift change for the people who report everything on Y!A?

13 violation notices in the last 24 hours?

Do you ever find yourself wishing somebody would ask a stupid question like this just so you could answer with nonsense?

I notice from playing around with the avatar tool that it is possible to put yourself in a dungeon with a skeleton and a box of fluffy kittens. Do you think it is spiritually advisable to do so?

Hypothetically, what would God do if George Soros started a project to prevent judgement day?

Are you ever genuinely surprised when it says "Alert! You asked a question (-5 points)?

Aside from '42' what is the most commonly given answer in the R&S section?

Should I stop asking stupid questions like this and just focus on expediting my attainment of level 4?

If there is no God, what will happen to us?
If there is a God, will you have free will? What will you do for fun? Will there be male or females? Will humans be genderless? Could you have kids? Is praising God all you will be doing?

Can horses live outside the Earth?
In my opinion, YES. This is because since God is resolute enough not to appear to us, she or he has to steal a horse at night to ride it on the moon or Jupiter and since I havent heard any story relating a lost horse, God must be bringing them back in the early morning. So we cant say for sure that God is a horse thief but we can say that horses can live outside the Earth. This is because no one finds his or her horses' corpses in the mornings.... This story must give us many clues about the universe and God's nature. God is not a FREAK creature at all.

I am going to spend the year abroad (I go to college) in Europe. I would like to do the Rite of Christian Initiation of adults (for Catholics) while abroad, but what is it called there? I may spend some time in Austria and Germany. Do they have RCIA there ?

Because God will surely keep you safe, right?

Of course if God gave you the body of a manatee, all bets are off.

would it change your view on God?

I'm not saying it's possible, but IF credible scientists all agreed that the Earth was 6-10,000 years old....

I am offended by animal sacrifice. Why would a 'god' (or any religious deity) want with an animal sacrifice? Doesn't that sound a little messed up? Is there still animal sacrifice today? Does the bible claim that animals do or do not go to heaven? Does 'god' not like animals? Do animals have beliefs? Are You offended?

IF God knows everything that is and is going to be then what is the point in earth or the universe or anything? Heaven and Hell? IF he knows where every human is going before they go IF he knows what there going to do and say then this would make the point of earth and the universe well... pointless.

He could just have sorted us before we existed. So is Evil and likes to watch human suffer?

Can I please find some folks to pray for me. My hair recently had to be chopped short and in bad layers because it was ruined due to overprocessing by bad highlights and then a straightener. I have been crying daily. It's affecting my relationships with my husband, my kids, and my parents. I'm super depressed. I haven't been eating well. I've prayed and prayed. I know it will take time, but it's really eating at me. I just want it to get a little healthier and not look so horrible. I'm really depressed because of this as I used to have long beautiful hair that wasn't so damaged. I look like I am a burn victim but I'm not. :(
