    Apparently I'm not a Christian because I believe in a old earth and evolution

    :doh: All because I chose to ask what happened before Adam and Eve, how we came to be and how that connects with the fall. I did a silly thing in asking my family and then I was proclaimed to not be a born again Christian simply because I do not believe in the literal English translation of the...

    I don't want anything to do with people anymore

    I've had it with people, I've had with fighting with them over my faith, I've had it with the contradictions of the bible, I've had it with not being able to understand the word, I've had it with not being able to speak to God. I've had enough. No more. I can't do it anymore. What is there in...

    Everyday is the same

    Life at the moment (and it has been for some time) for me is like walking on a slow paced treadmill. I'm going nowhere and day in and day out I'm repeating the same pattern; wake up in the afternoon, sit in front of the computer, eat dinner, go to bed. I feel too depressed to do anything else...

    Erotophobia (Fear of Sex)

    :doh: This is embarrassing for me, but I'm somewhat relieved that my (potential) problem has a name. I have come to the realization that the discussion of Sex is a very hard one for me to engage in and usually one I dance around, from my gender to relationships, I frankly want nothing to do...

    Sex makes me angry

    I have little idea why the discussion of sex inflames me. When I engage in conversation about it, there's a part of me that gets very aggressive and defensive to the point where I feel like I want to destroy the world, I hate humanity. Here's a bit of background on me, I was molested as child...

    Why doesn't God prevent suffering?

    Perhaps one the most simplest of questions which has the most hardest answers. My older sister is agnostic, she said that this is the biggest problem she has with God. She asked me the question and I found myself at a stumbling block. What would God need to do in order to stop all suffering...
