Why doesn't anybody believe in God anymore?
Posted Friday June 15 2007, 11:48 am
I'm friends with at least 6 Athiest people. I don't really want to change them. It's just why doesn't people believe in God? My one friend say me wearing a cross to school one day and told me to take it off. I asked her why. She said some very unkind things about God. Then she said, How can God be real if he doesn't save anybody from death? I couldn't answer that. SI asked around and found out she wasn't always Athiest. She used to believe in God until her grandparents were murdered. Since me and my friends live in a town with drug dealers, malesters, and murderers, it's common for people to get hurt, but i'm not scared of the people in my town, but my friend scares me saying too many rude things about God. What do I do?!

church split. our fault.
Posted Wednesday May 30 2007, 9:03 pm
my dad has been a pastor for 10 years. he was a cop before that and got asked to take his police job back. he accepted and stepped down to part-time pastor at the church. well, one of the committees in the church came to my father last sunday and asked him to take his family and leave the church. so we announced tonight that our last sunday would be fathers day. ive been a little torn up about leaving. ive been there since i was 6. most of those people there remember teaching me and watching me grow up. it pisses me off that they would tell us to leave. its pretty much causing huge drama within the church because so many people dont want us to leave. but we have to. they are bringing in a new pastor. my goddaughters family goes there, my be...

Jesus, accountability
Posted Thursday May 24 2007, 1:23 pm
Well, I have truly come to hate this word. I am trying to become a good christian, heck - I would settle for just christian. As it is, I'm having enormous problems with BELIEVING. So I've been googling, and asking lots of questions on how to become a good christian, and everywhere theý say - use the people God have put in your life, turn to other christians, be with those closer to God, get to know your Church-family, GET YOURSELF AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER! But I have none! I know NO Christiand, I have none in my life, and my church is...well, different. So what do I do? I keep trying and trying and everytime I think I'm getting closer to Jesus, something happens. I just stop-- and in a few months have to start it all over. I've never been...

my dads ghost.
Posted Wednesday May 23 2007, 4:49 pm
My dad died in febuary and he was a drug addict but really trying to quit before he died, he never wanted me to turn to drugs but I did
And I did before he passed.
and one time I was about to do drugs and I was walking down the hall to the bathroom and my dads ghost appeared and started walking towards me and he gave me this face like kinda sad because he didn't want me to do those things.
I fell on the floor crying my eyes out and I feel so bad about everything and how I still didn't stop after that happened.
Maybe I just didn't know exactly what it meant at the time
Because me and my dad were so close some lady said if he would appear to anyone it would be me and he did.
I've been thinking...

Thunder/God

I finally came-to last night. Like, I had doubted for a long time, but last night I woke up and realized and fully believe in God now. I accepted Jesus into my heart. And, this morning, since like EARLY it has been raining HARD and thundering and lightening bad. Could this have anything to do with my experience last night?

happiness?
Posted Saturday May 12 2007, 2:52 am
for the past five months i liked my best friend but he let me down time and time again saying that he only wanted to be friends but at the same time led me to believe he liked me as more. and it gave me hope, i always hoped that maybe even a small fraction of him would feel what i felt but no such luck. he did all the kinds of things that any boyfriend would do- note that we never went out- he would tell me ho much he loved me and hold my hand and hug me and just make me feel like the most important girl in the world. a few days ago a friend of mine suggested that he ask me out and so he was going to. he told me that it might not be a good idea because my friends dont exactly like him but i said that it didnt matter to me. the next day he g...

Religion
Posted Friday May 11 2007, 10:11 pm
I don't know if this is the right category but here it goes. I don't know if this helps but it always seems to help in one way or another...14/f haha. Okay, anyways. I'm currently an athiest but I'm very interested in some religious things. I'm interested in wicca and I forgot what this was called but it's where you believe in nature and it's signs. But I'm leaning more towards wiccan ideas. Are they athiestic or nothiestic? I'm just wondering. And if there is anyone out there who can teach me little by litte [I'm horrible at reading online stuff and learning in that way.]
Thanks!!!

Life on the 5th Dimension
Posted Monday May 7 2007, 6:29 pm
Does anyone know exactly what life will be like on the 5th dimension?
from what i have been reading, there is going to be a sort of a split, well if it splits between people who want to be enlightened and people who are not ready then how will we be able to go visit them? will it have to be spiritually? what about day and night? there are no polar opposites on the 5th so will i start seeing that on earth since the whole galexy is evolving?
what about eating and sleeping?
they do not eat and sleep on the 4th and 5th they absorb energy so will we start to do that? I really want a detailed description of what life will be like...
I know the things like how things are going to be manifested and the peace and so on a...

Religion?!?!
Posted Sunday May 6 2007, 12:16 am
I dont know which religion to go with. I dont like christianity because alot of the people around here are fake and they just pretend like they are really good. I know some of you arent going to like me for saying that, but whatever. I dont believe in god. I mean, I believe that there was a man named Jesus and he was a great guy and everything, he helped the poor, and all that. But I dont believe he was sent down from god and all that magical stuff. I just think that the best thing is to love one another and be nice and kind and tolerant. I dont believe in heaven or hell, they were both made up to scare people. And i dont understand why people say god is so forgiving, he will forgive you of your sins and whatever, but then everyone says tha...
