Do you follow one just because it's popular in your culture?

Please include a reason for your response.

For the past 4 years, I have been struggling with a personal situation between the love of my life and my parents (they dont get along). I truly belive that prayer changes things. But every time I go to pray for help on my situation, I start to feel like I'm being selfish. I haven't been to church in a few years, and I know I'm letting myself get further and further from God. I always feel like I should first pray for forgiveness of my wrong-doings, and that I shouldn't ask God to answer my prayers until I start living right. Is this the correct way to think, or should I just go to God whenever I feel the need, regardless of what I want to pray about?
Thanks.

I ask this because there have been MANY stories, such as Thecla, found in anceint Christian libraries. They used stories outside the Bible to teach and live by. So where does it state the Bible is the ONLY word of God?

Who THINK they are better than you/EVERYONE who has faith!!!
I know not ALL of them are luke this (my sister is one) but it is SAD and PATHETIC!
We cannot prove there is a God the SAME WAY we cannot prove there isnt one.

I mean, people go to you when they have a problem, religious/non-religious or otherwise? Is it always you solving other people's problems?

Instead of fighting about whether protestants or catholics will end up in hell or heaven...

How can we instead bridge the gap and remember that we all worship the same God, even if we don't believe the same way?

It doesn't mean that we have to abandon our theology, but is there a way to walk in love to one another, the way that Christ loves his church (even if we don't agree on which church is the "right" church?)

I'm a Muslimah who has worn hijab in the past but does not currently (a slightly threatening incident has me with no scarf for the time being).....

right now i'm wondering if the hijab might be worth the attention it brings in the US right now, and want to hear from anyone who has an opinion on its purpose

Peace and blessings,
Sakina

PS i don't at all mind honesty, but i would appreciate respect

28"? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these”._ Matthew 6:26-29 (New International Version)

Why is the earth filled with such beauty? Why are we humans so attracted to this beauty? Why can’t they all be bland they would still thrive? Once again, ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE NOT MISSING THE SUBTLE BUT POTENT EVIDENCE?

when they have been saying it for years? The Pope finally says You aren't christian if you're protestant. The protestants have been saying Catholics aren't Christian for years. What they can dish it out but they can't take it?

...if he believes that you have to be part of the Catholic church in order to be saved...and that all other Christian churches are "defective".

Not to bring judgment on him, because God alone knows his soul, but one must wonder about people that add unscriptural requirements to obtain salvation, and claim that theirs is the one and only true church of God. When I read in the Old Testament, I see that Abraham was justified by faith, not faith + recognizing the Pope + being a devout Catholic + keeping the sacraments.

You will most likely never hear a Protestant claiming that their church is the only way to God. In fact, they believe that church will not save you and that the church in itself *is* the believers and it is also for the believers to come together and encourage one another in the faith.

If you religious folks really believe god is almighty and can heal anyone at anytime and faith based healing with the holy spirit is true then why cant a person with an amputated arm or leg or a severe deformity go up there on stage and regrow that arm or leg or get there deformity healed?

It says in the Bible they were keen on a drop or two of wine.
They say what goes around comes around. Most single parent mothers admit they do not know who the father is. I dont beleave in angels but Gabrial seemed to know alot about it my money is on him

Thanks for the response to my previous question do atheists exist ? Over 55 returns. God yet to respond. My question is if you don't believe in anything, then why are you answering R&S questions. Surely you're opinion does not count?

IBeing a new athiest who has converted from from that fairy tale about a big boat and a flood or some **** (christianity) I'm wondering, where can I learn more?

Do we have like our own Athiest oriented websites?

It really rocks being athiest.

I love it.

the first few days i felt like i was going to go to hell when i died.

but it just were off.

like i guess its where i was conditioin to believ for so long.

like how you know in your heart santa is real even though the other kids are more mature and make fun of you for it. but when you find out he really dosnt, your not that brave soldier who stood up for santa, your just the only 6th grader who was that stupid.

and you dont belive hes fake even after you find out.

it troubles you and you still feel like he's real and you can feel him.
but then it wears off.

and you accept it

and never think back.


grow up christians, don't be the kid defending santa.

Here is the story;

LOL.
It's always amusing to watch the antics of these people. They spend so much time crowing about their dubious "accomplishments" that they don't have time to fix the problems that are rampant within their own cult.
Yes, amusing indeed. Thanks again for the chuckle christians, but after all, it's the only thing you're good for.

The Pope has made it clear. Since we are all going to burn in hell together, can't we just get along?
