First off I'm a Florida man and a newlywed so I can say that this hits close to home. I probably could have written this post myself in fact :-p I believe that this stuff is common but that doesn't mean that it's acceptable. It's common for men to look at inappropriate content but that doesn't make it okay...

wow thx. that happens to be something i really needed to hear right now.

I haven't read all of these posts, but I just want to say this... Would your parents want to rebuke you for what you've done? I only ask this rhetorically of course because most likely your parents would understand your faults and love you anyway. Seeing as how God loves you more and has even...

hey u got it. Hopefully this will take you there christianforums(dot)com/t7527521/ ....perhaps this will foster some new constructive (unbiased) back-and-forth (i apparently don't have the post count to deserve to post links, hence the weird formatting)

In most public places I feel like any attempt to seriously challenge the beliefs of an atheist end up being moot. As a new christian I've come to accept the fact that the vast majority of people don't really believe in Christianity, even if they call themselves Christians. Its really hard...

I actually didn't think that this was a "christian only" section

So I'm a single guy, mid twenties, and my friend talked me into trying a dating site (a free one, I wouldn't pay just to meet people :-P). Anyway I was just taken aback by how many people have for their headline something to the effect of "will you complete me." To me that just sounds a little...

yes i get the gist of it now. Most certainly I can draw some parallels with Christianity in the sense that Jesus also wanted us to be free to live abundant lives and free to pursue peace, love, and joy. btw thanks again for your post, I'm surprised it didn't get more responses.

just for the record my original post wasn't to point the finger at atheists and say "look how silly they are"... no I actually grew up atheist and remained that way for most of my life. I was actually trying to write the thread to show similarities between christians and atheists to show how...

" Do we not believe that God is a being that lives in a dimension outside of our physical laws that has powers that we in our dimension don't understand?" @ norswede lol this was the crux of the next thread I was about to write :-P ....well guess i don't need to now

I think that people like that are inclined to believing in aliens. Like I said, they don't acknowledge that they have an innate desire to be part of some higher calling, but at the same time that desire is likely as strong in them as anyone. I think that believing that we descended from aliens...

wow thanks for the awesome posts guys

I have a hard time believing that Fergie would get chosen "at random." Come on the system is not that rigorous, there is certainly room for the agents to use discretion in choosing who they scan. If the system was that rigorous, where say the agents would just scan every 10th person, then that...

:)

@Jaws... I'm sorry if I sounded accusing, really. That's not my goal at all. You're right in that I'm not a good friend of yours, in fact I don't really know you at all. At the same time I have equally no reason to be your enemy, and as such I have no incentive to "accuse" you or make you out to...

Okay sure. Let's completely throw out the possibility that the suspicious underwear bomber situation was orchestrated by a branch of our government. Does it not still seem fishy how Michael Chertoff works so hard while in office to get these things approved, then turns around and profits from...

I think you are hitting on an even more fundamental issue than just sexual stuff. I think this is more about what is sin and why should we avoid it? It sounds like it took you doing those things to satisfy a curiosity that might have been bugging you before. I think that there's a major problem...

@Jaws... As someone who has struggled with sexual immorality in the past, I can tell you that Razzleflabben is making some good points here. My experience has been the following: sex is addicting, therefore the more sex you have the more sex you crave. And yes masturbation is a form of sex, you...

I always wondered, why does the bible put so much emphasis on belief? I mean the bible says that he who does not believe does not deserve godly things. Naturally I assumed that our belief was effectively needed for praising God, as if he were on some ego trip and needed us to have strong beliefs...
