I've been semi pro for a while, but I believe that's not really related to this. Probably more my depression, or some social aspect.

Music, and it's something I've done previously so not out of lack of talent.

I go to a place of refuge where I feel rejected and unacceptable, yes maybe the title is dramatic.

Maybe he thinks I'm not there spiritually, and he'd be right to a degree, but I need to get involved and not be marginalised.

The pastor is my problem, he won't roster me, and when I ask, he gets embarrassed like he knows it's a problem.

The church I'm going to, is something I know I need but I loathe it at times. People are fake, say hello, but aren't interested in real friendship. I don't know if they are like this to all or just me, but I can't seem to get accepted. I want to join in serving, but they won't roster me on. I...

You have my complete unreserved sympathy. I'm pretty much in the same place, struggling to reconcile my Christian upbringing with real life faith, at the very bottom. And if it doesn't work at the very bottom,it's not real. Maybe be grateful you have an education and empathy with the majority...

what is truth? maybe you just assumed what people told you was true?

so i guess you're saying Jesus helps in certain situations, but others no.

"its in Gods timing" "God knows whats best" "God has a plan" "Find out what to do while your waiting" really find these slogans so meaningless

so it wouldnt help in time limited problems if the soul needs fixing first? serious question.

The stock answer for the age old question of God and evil is that freewill is the reason that evil and pain exists, and that no more pain than is necessary in the world exists. Of all the possible worlds that could exist, this one has the least amount of pain required to achieve free will and...

We need education to get a good job, we need to be healthy to have a good body, we need to save money to buy something important. Many problems in life are the result of the natural order, people chose their partner according to carnal, social and material factors etc, so can Jesus be the...

its my opinion. you can believe the opposite, but God sending aborted babies to hell is not one i chose to.

are you catholic? i dont have priests in my church,and i fully accept the principle of giving to the church, but not as a legalistic OT hangover where pastors assume the rights of levites.
