For the last few months I've felt like I am at a war with my own thoughts. It all started when I started living a bad lifestyle and doing things that are not to good for you. I asked God to forgive me but I still feel so bad about the things I have done. I've also started to constantly think I have something wrong with me, like serious fatal diseases. I don't have any of the symptoms to start with, but then it seems like I get the symptoms of whatever I think I have. I'm afraid that God will punish me for what I've done even though I've asked for forgivness and totally changed my life. I just need some advice to help me get over this. It is taking over my life to where I can't even enjoy it anymore. Please help!

It was God's plan that Jesus be killed, so wasn't Pilate doing his duty? Did Pilate get punished for killing Jesus?

It is all to do with what's 'realistic' and what's 'the best option' and how to stop the 'enemy.'

What about weapons of the spirit? What about Gandhi? What about the hippie era? What about Jesus? And what about idealism?

There would be no point in conquering a country if they only obeyed laws they agreed with, or if trade was cut off, or if the victims made inspirational speeches instead of retaliating. People should stop being weak and realise that there are always other ways of doing things.

Kind actions and words can convert people on the inside, weapons will only ever force them from the outside.

And yes, I do truly believe that. I think perhaps mass slaughter would happen for a while. But I'd far rather be in a nation of people that stands up for what is right with their hearts, not their trigger fingers. And eventually I think that others would realise fighting is futile.

Were their really pre-Judeo/Christian religions that believed in the Devil?

I know Set in the Egyptian Beliefs are seen as Satan by some because of his story being similar to that of Revelations, but any other pre-Judeo Christian 'Devils'?

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism." [Einstein]

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." [Lincoln]

The problem is to define a "secular" state. Is Britain, with the Church of England as the "established" church, a secular state or a religious state?

Atheists are saying that they do not like that the religious right is trying to legislate religion. Specifically this has to do with gay marriage, and abortion.

My question is, could an atheist be pro-life? And if so, is the atheist trying to force his/her religious beliefs on the country by wanting more pro-life laws?

Also, while I haven't met any, what if there was an atheist who was against gay marriage? Would that hypothetical atheist be trying to put their religious beliefs on society?

This question is specific to those issues, not to the intelligent design debate, cause no atheist would be for the introduction of a theory about a sky wizard inventing some secret decoder ring from dirt that becomes a human being.

Does this turn the debate upside down on its head?

When Paul wrote to Timothy, he said that evil men will grow worse and worse, both in deceiving others and in being deceived.
( 2Timothy 3:3 )

Do you see this happening? Maybe even here?

Tell me your thoughts.

The question is because I want to know if, after you have lived a "normal" promiscuos life, you can become a monk or a nun. Are they checking for some requirements in order to be one? Like if you have to be virgin, age limit or so?
