I post here because I used to be a very strong Christian. A lot of things that happened in my life that changed it and now my faith is hanging on by a thread. I came here hoping to get back the faith I nearly lost.

For some people it is more than fair. Not really. I don't believe in supremacy of any kind. Privilege knows no race, religions, body type or gender. You assume that because I didn't reply right away that I just came here to make this thread and ruffle feathers? I didn't make this thread to...

I hope this is not too controversial of a topic to debate, but it I would like to get insight from people who might disagree with me. I want to say for the record that I am pro-life but do think that in some cases abortion is ok (if the baby will die immediately after birth, if it will cost the...

Yes and John the Baptist said that ALL flesh will see salvation (Luke 3:6) Apparently they can (Mark 16:15) Wouldn't it be more logical for God to raise our pets from the dead than cruelly brainwash us into forgetting them? My opinion is that Jesus is the only way for HUMANS to get to heaven...

Probably. Some people go overboard when it comes to pets, but my point was that people telling them that animals simply die while they are grieving could potentially make someone in such a vulnerable position could make them see God in a negative light. Yeah, I could have mentioned NDEs but I...

That is right. I knew a Hindu who believed that every positive person in history (George Washington for example) was an avatar. Jesus fits in well as an avatar because most of Vishnu's incarnations had divine missions and they enforced morals that are very familiar with Christianity: empathy...

All over the world many Christians are wondering what will happen to their pets after death. Unfortunately they are often told that an animal ceases to exist after death which further burdens their grief and worse even sometimes turns them away from God, perhaps justifiably. What makes this...

God doesn't send anyone to any place at birth. If he did, I am sure everyone would be born into Christian families though that may hurt a person's spirituality more than help, we all know people who make poor Christians and they often ruin it for everyone around them. A person's religion has...

In a way it is a yes/no answer. While God is inherently good and moral, he can be seen as immoral from a mortal human's point of view. On one hand God is the ultimately moral being yet on the other hand humans have a higher and ever changing standard of morals which God does not follow (why...

Absolutely not. If reality as we know it was just an illusion then Christianity would be like Hinduism. For reference, Hinduism teaches that reality is an illusion ("maya") and that we are all one divided supersoul who act out parts in Vishnu's dream. If this were a simulation or a dream then...

I am going to interupt this fighting by linking to this site: Gay Christian 101 - Affirming God's glorious good news for all LGBs. Although I am sure many will disagree with it, I found it helpful.

Gay Christians are saved just like everyone else who believes in Jesus. I think a lot of Christians choose to target gays and lesbians because they too afraid to go after people who are actually sinful such as atheists, murderers, and evil priests. They see gays as weaker so they choose to pick...

There is a lot going on in the world and I am probably not alone in feeling bitter this time of year. A while ago I wrote about things going on in my life and how they have effected my spiritual life. Despite how hard I have tried to get back the faith I have lost my efforts have been for...

In general being a Christian is my unpopular opinion in this godless age. I got a bunch most, if not all, of you guys will disagree with: Every living thing (including animals and plants) will be resurrected. Those in Hell will eventually be freed (universal reconciliation). Christians will be...

If this is a true story then I hope he raised the money and was able to visit his ailing mother one last time. This reminds me of something I heard on the radio a long time ago. At Christmastime a radio show host asked people to call in with encouraging stories of kindness. One woman told of...

Literally everything you listed was either wrong or not good at all. In my opinion abusing women and dogs, hating your own and other countries (the irony being with Islamic nationalism), and listening to "scholars" who may actually be fools or corrupted are bad things. As well as negative things...

Despite what others have said I am going to believe that God will create the gryphon so I can have a relationship with him again. Last night I dreamt that the gryphon handed me a Bible and that made me realize how important Christianity is to me. There is a wealth of verses in the Bible that...

Even though I have a very little reply to this, I want to say that this really spoke to me. Thank you. I know people who work with them (and some of them are my neighbors who claim to be Christians) and it seems that they have not suffered the consequences of their actions. One thing that does...

After years of trying to hold onto my faith I am ready to give up. I once had a beautiful relationship with God but many things made me question his love for me: a lifetime of poverty, an abusive relationship with my father, trauma, being isolated, people who treated me badly getting away with...

If it is worth anything I am currently trying to concert people in other communities. I even tried to get my enemies to convert to Christianity, something I did not do with relish. The closest thing I get to prayers is asking him about this. I used to have a beautiful relationship with God but...
