I'm having some issues...religous ones. I've just been going through an odd time with it and I just have been kavetching about it. I was gonna say note me if y wanna talk about it but I'm not scared if no trolls >_>
I'm having issues with the Bible, Christianity in particular. It's surfaced again cause my mom talked about going to church, something I've discussed with all of you my distaste for, and I think it stems to some issues I have. What issues you ask? Well about wether stories in the Bible are allegorical or literal, God controlling everything, old archaic laws to follow and not to follow. Wether to be peaceful or kill for virtues. If ya wanna chat with me about this with comments, shouts or notes, or MSN please do, I could use some counseling about it. DON'T WORRY! I'm not depressed or sad, just struggling with my insides, questioning my beleifs.
And please save your breath if your a zealot of any religion or non-religion. I don't need idealogues shouting at me, I've had that all my life and am perfectly capable of turning off the discussion. I want factual, level-headed, fair talking, not hot-blooded preaching. =/
Thx and I hope everyone has a wonderful night, this wuffy needs sleep, chat with ya tomorrow. ^_^

and with my 5 years at the Bible college, i may be able to enlighten you to some issues as i see them ^__^
I'd lime to chat but first get to know ya more. AIM is your name with aol.com right? =)
Then, I had nothin but questions. Still do.
Chat me up if ya like, Vince. I ain't been ignorin people, I been movin to a hotel. I'm here.
Well I've been questioning alot since I've been growing out my teens and my bros murder certainly didn't regain my faith...religion just isn't any sense to me anymore.
If you ever need me please contact me. I'll note you my im and #
I hope I didn't offend or anger you with something I said, it's just how I feel.
Again, I hope I don't offend anyone, I realize I sound a bit liberal but I'm very fair and open to hearing options of others as long as it's not "YOU FUCK HEAD"
all caps are a fail XDD
I'm no theologist but I have some insight. I've been back and forth on religion. Right now you could say I have a basic spiritual outlook.
I'm not quite ready to call ma self agnostic but I can't call ma self a devote anything really.
You can note me anytime. It would be an honor to listen to your troubles.
We can talk here or note, I don't mind I share concern here for others to see, I can easily block trolls. You can see some of my concerns in the past couple comments I gave above. I'm just angry a God abit....I think you know what from with our notes. Others who know me well know as well though. Right now, I'm in a transition from what Christians are now, I follow the peaceful teachings of Christ, not the blob of political, racist, power hungry thing it is now. There's no humbleness anymore, no love for your neighbor, no giving to others. As shocking as this sounds, Jesus was a radical, who had socialistic ideas, he told to give a bed to others and to give unto others, treat others the way you'd be treated and not to judge.
Hope I didn't offend you at all, and I respect if you disagree *hugs*
I agree with you one hundred percent. Modern politics seem to be drowning out the over all message. Doesn't shock me at all to think of Jesus as a socialist. Even if it did shock me, you don't have to worry about offending me but thanks for the concern.
Yes, you definitely have the right to anger. I'm not exactly Christian but, the general beliefs are good. I might not be too quick to leave them behind if I were you. But then again, if it doesn't help you much anymore, hmm. It's a hard situation, trying to be content after situations like this. All I could really say is, try to keep in mind that you are wanting peace not numbness. A lot of people try to shut off emotion all together to cope. This is not what you want. Try not to make any life changing decisions based on frustration.
You are a very kind person. I wish I could be of more help. I hope you find contentment in your beliefs what ever they turn out to be. *Hugs tight*
