    I agree.

    Is abortion good for women?

    That's disgusting. First of all, they're not "killing a kid." I would much rather that women are able to access proper medical care than shove a hanger up their vaginas and possibly kill themselves. Also, Planned Parenthood is not an abortion mill. They provide medical care to people who...

    Can bigots be Christians?

    I agree with you somewhat. Most people have at least some degree of prejudice in them. It's not always a malicious thing...it's just something that's there. We form opinions based on our experiences. I think racism or any form of bigotry is repulsive. I see myself as more "color-blind" than most...

    Is this true for you, and should it be?

    1. This question is confusing. I am attracted to different people for different reasons. 2. The most important attributes for me are these: INTELLIGENCE, sense of humor, looks, kindness, and honesty. I'm not going to lie and say that looks don't matter, because they do. However, the last man I...

    If getting married after a divorce is sinful...

    So if you weren't allowed to get married, it would be okay? Because it's not a right, but a privilege? And how do you earn the privilege of getting married anyway? Is there an test you have to take or something?

    If getting married after a divorce is sinful...

    Uh...the right to get married and all that goes along with it (power of attorney, adopting children together, etc).

    If getting married after a divorce is sinful...

    It has everything to do with rights! Why should one part of the country be discriminated against because Christians don't like gay people? The last time I checked, we are not a theocracy, no matter how hard Bush is trying to change that.

    Job

    PLEASE pray that I get the job I applied for. I'm a recent college graduate, and this is my "in-between" job (as I like to call it...in between school and a real job). I REALLY need the money, so please pray that I get this job.

    Can God ever forgive me?

    Thank you all for your encouraging words. That makes me feel a lot better. I just don't know if I can do it. I'm still really angry, and I don't know if that feeling is going to go away. I don't know what to do... :sigh:

    Can God ever forgive me?

    Can God forgive me? For the past year and a half or so I've wanted nothing to do with him. My family is going through an excrutiatingly painful time and I've found it hard to have any faith at all through this. Worse than that I've been mad at God for what happened. After all that I have said...

    Help?

    I am so depressed and I hate feeling like this. I was pretty happy for a while, and being pulled back into feeling like this is horrible. I thought I was done with depression because I haven't felt this bad in a long time. I should be happy because I have accomplished a lot; but all I can see...

    Any Questions About Christianity? Come here - All questions answered and explained

    Hey :) I have a question. It's something that really confuses me about Christianity. I consider myself a smart, logical person. I've read the bible many, many times. The impression that I get from the new testament is that Jesus is accepting of everyone - ESPECIALLY the sinners. To my...

    Faith?

    I said that he is making their lives as hard as possible because he is! If he exists, then it's him that's doing this to them. Believers may not have hate toward each other, but some of them have certainly demonstrated hate toward those who don't think exactly as they do. I think that's...

    Faith?

    I have tried to have faith, but how can I have faith in (or LOVE) a being who lets such terrible things happen to the people I love most? And I want to believe, but I don't think homosexuality is wrong. And I don't agree with some of the other things the bible says. I just...don't know how to...

    Faith?

    How can I have faith in God? There is so much pain in the world and in my own life. My parents are amazing people and they are Christians, but God isn't giving them any breaks whatsoever. In fact, he's making their lives pretty much as hard as possible. And honestly, if God exists, I am really...

    Anyone else feel this way?

    I'm not really up for treatment or whatever would be necessary for that. I do take sleeping pills sometimes, and they help a little.

    Anyone else feel this way?

    Thanks for your reply. I'm not in treatment or on medication or anything, so that doesn't apply to me. As far as sleep goes, I try to get as much as I can...but it's really hard. It's hard to get to sleep, and lately I've been waking up really early again and not being able to get back to sleep...

    Anyone else feel this way?

    I just had a pretty long period when I wasn't depressed at all. I knew that period wasn't going to last, and it didn't. I sometimes think I would rather have not felt better at all, because when the sadness comes back it's so much worse. If it had been there all along, it wouldn't be as...
