I need help about religion. I currently attend a unitarion Universalist church and I am taking the class and all that. Oh yeah and im 13/f. I really do not know what I beleive in. I guess you could call me agnostic, but I do believe that there is a higher power out there. I just dont know what. The thing is, no offense to anybody, I just dont believe that God sends people to hl for sinning and stuff. I really dont know about christianiy all that much, but Im from the south where alot of people are really mean but they think they are such good chrisians because they read the bible. My question is is this normal? I just dont know what to believe and its anoying becuase some people are like "Why dont you believe in god?!" and its really embarrising. (link)

It is normal to question. We all do.
Believe what seems right to you. If you can connect with it, if it fills your spiritual void, then follow that,
I myself am a Catholic, and I love it. My church is highly service oriented, and that helps me feel that it is worthwhile.
Being a good christian means being a better person. Many Bible Thumpers are hypocrits, plain and simple. A good christian should try to emulate Jesus's example, and be kind and helpful to others.
As to the "why don't you belive in god" question, answer truthfully. You don't disbelieve in God. You simply don't believe in what religion says he is.
Oh, and I don't believe God sends people to hell either. We do that to ourselves. God tries everything to keep us from going there.

There is a guy I really like (who also has the slight potential of liking me back). He's very funny and actually very polite and nice. However, he doesn't seem to be a very devout Christian, because he cusses. Even though I cuss sometimes, I feel like he may have a bad influence on me in that way, and I know from Bible study that I'm supposed to surround myself with people who share my beliefs and are going to be a good influence. But there seems to be something wrong with that, because if I cuss now and then, I may be a kind of bad influence on others too, and they wouldn't want to be around ME either. I guess what I'm trying to ask is...would it be okay to continue to flirt with this guy and (if it works out right) date him? Sorry, this was kind of long and confusing... btw, I'm almost 16, if that helps any. (link)

Cursing doesn't make you a bad person. Heck, we all do it. But if he likes you, and you like him, try to get him to tone it down a bit.
A great way of doing this is to challenge him not to cuss. Mark down every time he does, and playfully wave it in his face. He'll get better at not doing it, and eventually, he'll just stop.
Any way, if that is the only issue, go for it.

Can you be forgiven for being gay? Is it really a sin? What if you just want to try it and see what happens are you going to be penalized for that? Can someone help me asap.. these questions are for a friend who really needs it (link)

The bible says being gay is a sin.
But remember this: God Forgives Everything. Absolutely everything.
The only thing to do really is pray about it.

Hi my name is Bill. Im 15 and I currently attend a christian church. As a baby my parents werent married, my mom ran away, my dad couldnt afford a baby soo he left me with his parents. I grew up with my grandparents till right before my 15th b-day when my grandma died from carcinoid cancer. after that i weant to live with my dad. instead of being distanced from God I feel closer. my pastor said im the strongest person he's met. what does he mean by that? by the way i want to go to olivet collage and become a youth pastor myself.

He means that you have become stronger through the hardships, instead of weakening.
Good luck! The world needs people like you!

1 Timothy 4:12
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
This is one I always liked.
Look online for ideas. Biblegateway.com has a searchable bible, so you can find the perfect verse. Then pick a picture that matches it.
