Let me start of by saying: I would not be asking this if I didnt already feel bad && want to change this. SO please, don't preach.
Down right to the point?
I stole my friend's new 300 dollar digital camera. (reminder: I know it was wrong, no lecturing)
While doing it, i KNEW it was wrong.
When she noticed it was gone, she cried.
It broke my heart.
I know God forgives, but my gut tells me..he won't.
I don't know, I want to send it back to her.
I think I will, as soon as I get her adress.
i CAN'T APOLOGIZE THOUGH. I CANT TELL HER.
I don't even know why I did it.
I love her. Im not jealous of her.
I don't need a digitial camera.
I don't want one.
But I did it anyway.
Just because I knew I could.
I knew I wouldn't get caught.
I'm evil. I'm a really bad person, I know.
Yet, I can't change it.
Here's where I need help.
- appologizing to God for this.
HOW? I knew it was wrong while doing it, I knew the devil was pushing me and God was telling me not to, yet I listened to the devil.
It's happened before. I never learn.
I'll always do the wrong thing.
So what? he's just going to keep forgiving me?
- how do I stop this
any ideas?
- this feeling
even if I give it back, I'll never forget what I did. seeing her cry. knowing how much it meant to her yet still taking it. how can i forgive myself for it? what should I do? I know myself very well. I wont change, I'll do it again. And I wont let myself forget it. I know I'll always feel bad because of this.
AHHH GOSSSHH just help me please, I feel awful.
what should I do? with everything?
this feeling is sick.
I want to die.

This may be an old question, but oh well.
Very simply, it hurts to see someone you care about in pain. Watching someone cry because you took something of their's and not knowing makes you feel pretty crappy. Especially when you know you could comfort them by telling them what happened to it. However, you can't blame the devil for what you did and its right to want to be forgiven for it. By God by your friend, by anyone really. God will always forgive you if you mean it. Your friend might not right away, but in my opinion telling them what happened is much easier than trying to lie about it. Cause there's always possiblity that they'll find out about it and know that you lied to them. Unlike some atheists, like Saint_Gasoline, I think that practicing the things taught in the New Testament will help you deal w/ stuff like this and keep you out of such problems. Anyhow, that's your call. Have fun and I hope it gets better =D.

It is pretty much impossible for me to empathize/understand people who believe in God and religion. I am fully against both of them, for a long list of reasons that I don't need to go in to. The deal is, people tell me I'm being sacreligous/a heretic/going to hell, but I can't understand where they're coming from AT ALL. To me evangelists and deeply religous people just seem like pitiful, misguided puppets of a nonexistent power. It tends to screw up my relationships with people.... Any advice? (link)

Heh, well to start off, I guess I should say that I do believe in God. Having said that I would also like to mention that I'm not here to convert or force anything on anyone. If something happens and people gain their own belief in God...hoorah. If not, oh well. I don't know your long list of reasons, but I'm sure they're serious ones that don't need delving into. If you choose not to believe in God, that's your decision. I mean, He gave us choice. People who try to scare you into believing in Him IE "You're going to Hell" is just sad. As for the puppets to a nonexistant power...well thats your opinion. I say that if arguments over the subject are killing relationships w/ people...just avoid it and don't say much, if anything at all on it. As for myself and the "nonexistent power"...well, I think there's more to us and the world than what seems true by logic and what can be easily explained. Anyhow, no real advice I guess....just opinions, have fun =D.

i am really scared. (no this isnt anything to do ith 6/6/6 its just that 666 got me thinking of this) when the world ends, how exactly is it going to end? i do not have very good knowledge of the bible. i know that no one knows, but everyone says all this horrible ways like it will go up in flames. but why would god torture us like that? why can't he just make everything dissappear in a split second? why would god want to make the world end in a horrible way, and why would he even want the world to end. please explain this is a clear way cause im not good with this stuff. and pleaaaaaaaaseplease don't say "don't worry about it wont happen/it wont happen in your lifetime" (link)

I find people asking "how exactly will it end?" all the time. Then referring to Revelation for literal translations of things. Point of the matter is, it doesn't matter how it ends. Its how you lived your life when it does end. The Bible says that "No one knows the time nor the day". I can't remember exactly where it says so, but it does and I believe it makes it clear that no one, but God knows when. A lot of people try to predict the date and all that, but in the end everyone comes out lookin like a fool. If you really want some insight on how the Bible writer "saw" it, then go grab one (New King James recommended) and read the last book of the Bible (Revelations). God wouldn't necessarily torture us, so much as he would just leave us or send us to a place where he isn't....and where God isn't...well, that's not a place you want to be. Have fun =). Sorry...just noticed you said that you had more than enough answers...and that this is old.

Flight 5191 should not have crashed in Kentucky today. Where was God? And does he not love them? (link)
| |
Who's to say that it shouldn't have crashed? People die and sometimes in horrible ways that we don't care to know about. Innocent people die all the time. Sometimes we think that "it wasn't their time" or "They died so young and too soon". God loves them and He loves everyone. He's not a superhero that swoops in and saves everyone before a disaster. People blame Him when disasters happen, and praise Him when they're narrowly averted. The victims of the plane crash are w/ Him now. If you're asking, "Why does He do this to us?" then you're probably being a little selfish. Its better on the other side if you're following His commands. Don't blame God for death. Heh, I actually hope to one day thank Him for it.

If god loves every one then why dose it seem that being gay is wrong. im a big gay rights person and i dont understand how in most religions its like one of the bigest sins (link)

Being a Christian myself, I can say that I don't dislike homosexuals or hate them at all. I'm not even one to speak out against them and say "You're wrong. You're going to Hell." A lot of people in the country are stereotyping most Christians as hardcore conservative Bible thumpers. While there are a good group of them in our United of States, they're not necessarily right all the time. God does love everyone, but if in our hearts we're sinning against Him and don't care...I believe we'll be allowed into Heaven. The Bible does say that homosexuality is a sin. Biggest sin? Not sure if there is much difference in sin in the eyes of God. Of course that's my own belief. Seriously, get down and read the Bible yourself and don't bias yourself on what other people say about it. Most people haven't even read it. They simply play off of stereotype and what they've seen and heard from the Christians they know. Read through the Gospels (Matthew-John) and then a few of the letters to the early churches from Paul (Other books in the NT). I recommend the New King James Version and don't take offense to the Bible calling homosexuality wrong, b/c in the end...its just trying to help. Take it how you will. Have fun =D.
