Once you are committed to Truth, you may be saddened by the loss of those you considered to be friends, but you will no longer need their ego support.
Once you stand up for what is right, you will find that you can reverse the wrong direction your life was taking as the result of going along with the crowd. But you must speak up !
Your life, and theirs, may depend on it.
Are you willing to pays the price for speaking up ?
I think not! , unless you are committed to Truth in your heart; you cannot!
WHAT SAY YOU ALL?

If you fail to speak up, you remain trapped in a supportive relationship with what is wrong in your environment, and that relationship, in turn, supports what is wrong in you. As long as you derive any comfort from the "perks" available to those who don't rock the boat, you remain unable to develop mentally, emotionally and spiritually to the state of perfection for which you were originally created.
It's a price you have to pays to break free.
Are you willing to feel the pain of standing alone for being right?
What say you all?

Blessed 3.. I claimed that "JESUS is the WORD of God" not the Bible as you religious nuts think it is.
The Bible contained the inspired Words of God spoken by holy men moved by His Spirit in sundries times and places to reveal HIS Plan and Purpose for Mankind - the Crown of His Creation. I say it again JESUS is the WORD of God not the Bible!

Seeking the Truth can indeed be a lonely road. It has been so for me at times. On the other hand, my search has led me to the knowledge that I should accept people for who they are and interact with them on their level. Not everyone is interested in my Truth, and I have to accept that. That's not to say that they aren't good people or that they don't have something to offer. I find that I learn a lot more if I instead try to learn their Truth. It offers a lot of insight as to who a person is.
If you have to force your beliefs on someone, how right can they be? I may spend a lifetime spreading my Truth and if I manage to help one person in one small way then I have done well. I am committed to Truth in my heart. I try live my Truth every day and I encourage other people to live theirs. My own Truth is not dependent on the validation of others. I don't care if anyone agrees with me. My Truth works for me. It might not serve another so well.
I offer bits and pieces to those who are interested, there is no need to shout loudly from the street corner; no need to proclaim "This is my Truth!", to each person I meet. Those that need to hear my Truth will ask a silly question on Y!A, and I will answer it. Truth is absolute to no one but he who discovers it.
Being a seeker of Truth needn't be an isolating experience. Simply accept others for who they are. Don't try to change them. People will only change when they are ready. Put your energy into helping those people who are ready instead of pissing off those who are not.
With Love,
Shane K.

Commonsense always take a stand for the truth even if you must stand alone. Most good Christian people say nothing to atheist about Christ because they feel that they would be offended. We have to help them come to an understanding of God's grace and then live it before them.
Be strong in the Lord. Don't quit your good work.

Have faith dear friends in God.

I think you need to seek professional help from a psychiatrist. You are posting all of these bizzare "What say you all," questions. It sounds as if you think your acquaintances are your friends. There is a big difference. But at the same time, to be a true friend, you have to care enough about your friends to treat them with respect. While you can voice your opinion, it's all in the delivery. Perhaps you have some verbal communication issues that you need to learn how to develop.
Your questions are coming across as very judgemental, when you are not the ultimate judge. You shouldn't be judging others but embracing them for their differences. Judge yourself before you judge others, especially people on Yahoo that you don't know anything about.

Go ahead and speak up for what you believe in. People will either listen, or they won't! That is the way our world works! Because in the end, your truth, may not work for anyone else. And your direction, might be right for you, but not for your friends, but you don't have the right to judge them, if they decide to stay behind, while you forge ahead.

How can you claim, "I think not!" when you don't know any of us? At any rate, I don't consider anyone to have TRUTH if they do not consider the Bible to be God's written word, and in an earlier "question" you indicated you didn't.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "truth"...
Because some people say that religion is "the truth". It's not of course but they'll claim it is anyway.
