I honestly do not believe pride has anything to do with it. There are many prideful people out there who don't do evil. Pride may play a major factor with some people, but this isn't the case for people like me. Why not just say they just plain and simple don't want God in their lives? Why not...

I know there are many children out there who have had rough lives growing up, but then grow up to be stellar public citizens on their own, while children like me are only civilized and a relatively law-abiding citizen because I was raised right. I deserve no credit. I really bothers me everyday...

What if people could choose to live however they like? What if they could choose to be their own bosses, run their own lives whenever, however they wished, and it would never have a single negative impact on anyone, whether directly or indirectly? While others who choose to love and help...

Because they know the truth, because if they didn't, they wouldn't be coming on these forums figuring out ways to convince us believers otherwise. They don't like to hear about the possibility of ending up in a place of 'darkness, fire and brimstone'. They don't want to take into account that...

I imagine it would be a grave disappointment for those who willingly serve Him, seeing they would want to be in an eternal relationship with Him, while for those who choose not to serve Him, it would be an elation, because they could just live for the flesh, live only for themselves and live for...

Does anyone do it for absolutely and completely pure and selfless reasons? If there was no Hell or threat of punishment, how exactly would this world would be? Would people be as they are now? Would they be law-abiding, morally upright citizens? And would all those considered 'public enemies'...

I do not know what else to do. I actually hate the thought of having to go to Hell for all of eternity when I didn't even ask to come into existence. That was God's choice, not mine, and I have to choose between Heaven and Hell. Look, please. I don't know what else to do. I'm not one of those...

Then I just do. I do not care.

'I don't care what You want for my life. I want to do what I want to do, and I don't care who I hurt in the process and that's just that?' It's my choice, and I have the right. I don't care if this life isn't about me, I'll make my life about me, and leave everyone else out. It'll be just me...

I think I'll just accept my punishment for my sins and go to Hell forever. I know that by rejecting Christ, I'll only have this earthly life with its fleeting temporal pleasures to look forward to and then after that, an eternity of pain and misery. I don't want God in my life. It's a sad...

If we're given the choice to spend eternity with him or away from Him, then why not choose not to spend eternity at all? It isn't fair to the people who don't want to live forever to be forced to. You all talk about choice and decision all the time, so how does that differentiate so much?

I mean, being separated from society, family and friends I think is the right path for me to choose. This isn't to say I won't take the consequences into consideration. I think being separate from society is freedom from all the crime, debauchery, selfishness, stress, sadness, cruelty and...

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be without parents or authority in my life. Sometimes, I wish for that to occur. I would not have committed any crimes in life nor would I have wanted to. Sometimes I also wish I was never under my parent's authority or any other's because it just...

I am having a serious insecurity problem; everyday I am conflicted between living my life the way I want to live and the way God wants me to live. I'm also constantly struggling with accepting the fact that a former atheist-turned-Christian is like everyone else. I just think they're better...

He was able to create the first man that ever lived without parents, so why didn't he create us without parents?

Is this really true? Or is this really more about God than us?

Let's say there's an atheist raised that way, but then decides on their own later in life they want to become a Christian but has parents who refuse to become believers. And let's say there's someone who is raised a believer but then decides to be the very opposite later in life. But then...

Many people say that this is the kind of hedonistic philosophy that our society lives by that is destroying this world. But I have to tell you, I honestly do not believe that being hedonistic is an excuse for evil. Hedonistic simply means living for pleasure. There are many people out there in...

My existence is quite dull. Yes, I have chosen for years to live this way, because I thought living in solitude was the way for me to go. It seemed...more comfortable....to be apart from everyone else, from conflict, from noise, from everything. It's more peaceful. Yet, no matter what I've tried...

I understand that people say that sociopaths choose to do right/wrong, but if someone is born without the capacity to feel guilt or remorse for their actions and/or has trouble grasping social norms and morals of society, then it's not really their fault they're like this. Because even though...
