Hi, I'm 19/f
my whole life, I have been to maybe 5 different churches, and for some reason, I just feel as if church isn't for me. I find it very boring.
I believe in God to the fullest, but sometimes I have my questions, and of course, everyone's answers are going to be different depending on their beliefs.
But within the 5 churches I have been too, I have got many different answers regarding the following question:
DO YOU HAVE TO BE BAPTISED TO GO TO HEAVEN?
I have heard, Yes, you do; and I have heard no you don't, as long as you believe you have a right into God's Kingdom.
Personally, I believe that IF God is as mightly and loving as others make him out to be, than shouldn't he know who believes in him, and who doesn't? Why does baptism give you the pass to Heaven? Why can't believing just be enough??
I have never been baptised, but I have been saved. I pray to God; not just when I want something, but to let him know that I appreciate the things he has given me, and letting me live another day.
Everyone tells me to 'read the bible' but personally, I don't want too. How did God write the bible when he didn't have anything to use? Idk where it came from, who really wrote it, or even if it is true.
Is it wrong for me to have all these questions and these doubts? Does that make me a non believer?
My father told me to talk to a priest, but honestly, I won't get a solid answer, and I feel as if I'll be wasting my time. No one knows the REAL truth about any of it.
Sometimes I question if there is a Heaven or a Hell. How do we really know if they are real; has anyone died and came back and said, 'Man, Heaven is amazing; or Hell is hot as fire!"
I feel so guilty questioning this- but I'm just curious.
SOrry for the length. (link)

Well, you asked a great question, one that i have asked before, but now, i know better. The truth of the matter is that only you can find the answer to this question and the many more questions that you have within you. The archeologists have declared the bible to be the most correct book, in short, everything is spelled within it, let this erase any doubt you have within you about the bible. Start reading the bible from the new testament, by the time you finish reading John, i am sure you will have a good part of your questions answered. If you really want those answers, give me a benefit of doubt, and try that out

Hello, I'm a 20 year old girl and i have never believed in love. Lately, there's this guy in my college I've been crushing on, and it's the first time I've ever experienced something like this. I don't know what to call it but I always want to see him and I like everything about him even though I know some of his traits are funny to like.
The thing is; I'm not sure about myself. I can't talk to him because his girlfriend used to be a friend of mine but we ended up awkwardly not being friends because of him, though we never talked about it. But rumors sprang in campus that I like him and now he thinks he's all that, and I don't want to be the girl who liked him unrequited-ly so he thinks I'd be easy to get. That's why I can't approach him first, but I don't want him to slip away. He's broken up with that girl now and I really, really am interested in him. I don't think I can get over it now, and it's the first time I confessed this to anyone, even myself. My friends don't know and I won't tell them either because I'm usually the sane, no-shit brains among them and I'm feeling crazy in the head those days because of him.
Please help me, what should I do? (link)

There is a saying, that whatever you love, let it go, if it comes back to you, then its yours, but if it doesnt, it wasnt yours in the first place. Apply this to your situation. As difficult as it may sound, let this guy go. If he's yours, he'll go through the trouble of finding you and claiming you.
