I was raised in a fundementalist, Pentecostal, Christian household. I believed in a literal Genesis (creationism, Noah's Ark, etc) until around my late teens, when I began to learn more about science. I accepted evolution, etc and my beliefs in a literal Genesis fell away. However, it hasn't...

Last Christmas I took an overdose because I could not cope with the stress of my university exams. I was allowed to resit them in the summer, but anxiety took over again and I couldn't sit them. So I was allowed to repeat the semester. Now I'm back in the exam period and feeling anxious yet...

I'm feeling quite low at the minute due to my AS. I'm tired of not fitting in and finding it difficult communicating with people. My life consists of sitting in my room on my PC. Usually when I go out I'm just reminded of how different I am compared to other people, which makes me feel...

I was brought up in a Pentecostal church, got saved when I was 6 and continued to go to church and be a "good Christian" for 15 years or so (i.e. up until now). Over time however I have begun to lose faith in things I once held to be true such as creationism, the concept of the Devil, hell...

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place or not but here goes: I'm currently in my 2nd year at university in my Biomedical Science degree. I was diagnosed with AS in November and am still adjusting to the news. I've a lot to talk about and find it difficult to organise things...

Today Mac, the 13 year old Westie, went to sleep for the last time. It was absolutely devastating, I don't think I have cried as much in my life. But at least he's no longer suffering, but I miss him so much :(

It was so much easier when I was a fundementalist, I could just take the Bible at face value and never have to question anything - The Bible said it, that settled it. Then I had to go and open Pandora's Box and begin to really question things. How come Genesis 1 and 2 contradict each other...

http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/jesuscamp/trailer/ This video seriously creeps me out. I thought I'd post it here to get your opinions on this. Its actually quite terrifying. Notice the boy on the floor having an epileptic seizure. :cry:

So I've been feeling as though I'm slipping away from Christianity. It's just so hard having faith, when the people who you are supposed to be in fellowship with are constantly spewing hate and lies about you and others like you. Why don't I see much evidence of the Holy Spirit working like...

I was reading FSTDT (Fundies Say The Darndest Things) yesterday and it got me thinking..What went wrong with Christianity? The comments there are some of the most ignorant, evil, hate-filled things I have ever read. Then of course there's the attrocities caused in the name of God -...

I currently lurke, and occasionally post, on a forum for gay Christians. The people there are probably some of the most Christ-like Christians I have ever met (apart from you guys, of course ;) ). I just found it ironic that a group of people who are supposedly "abominations" and "unnatural" are...

This thread in "Struggles with sexuality" is very upsetting http://www.christianforums.com/t2225239-please-please-please-help.html&page=3 The poor girl is being driven to suicide all because the mother won't accept her for who she is. The worst part about it is that the others are egging her...

According to some Christians, during the End Times the antichrist will bring about a supposedly false peace on earth, which is apparantly evil because it will be without God or something. What if it isn't really going to happen like that, and as we do eventually move towards equality and...

Someone mentioned on another thread how liberals tend to overlook the violence committed by God. I think this is true to an extent and was just wondering how we justify this? Personally I don't really know what to think? Perhaps the authors of the Bible only thought it was God, but it was...

Hello, I wonder if anyone here has devoted themselves to lifelong celibacy? The reason I ask is because I am a gay Christian who believes celibacy is the way for me to go. What have your experiences been like living alone? Do you feel content in your celibacy or lonely? An advice would be...

I realise this is OT from Crevo, but I think the majority of science nerds probably hang out in this forum. I was wondering if anyone else feels like they don't fit in because they're interested in all things science, but most people aren't, so you feel like you don't have much in common with...

The London zoo has got humans on display. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050826/ap_on_fe_st/britain_human_zoo_3 I wonder what the creationists think of this one. Sorry if this has already been posted, btw.

badabing!
