I didn't mean to suggest that people who don't believe in God are immoral. I was trying to point out that America as a nation is quickly losing her moral compass. Think about it; back in the 1950's and early 1960's a single-parent home was nearly unheard of. Unwed mothers-to-be were routinely shipped out-of-town to spend the next several months with a relative somewhere. Sex used to be an activity shared by man and wife, and was confined to the bedroom; today, sex is promoted as a healthy pastim... [ More ]

Regarding being stuck, I definitely know that feeling and situation. But I also know people use God as an excuse too much of the time. For example, when people are told to evacuate during a hurricane, I've seen them interviewed on TV saying "I trust in the Lord. I'm staying in my home." Then I am reminded of something I heard a long time ago "Trust in the Lord, but tie your camel first.

I think a lot of people make mistakes because they don't know or they had to step back or got caught in a place. I wish I can use ignorance as an excuse. The scripture that terrifies me is the one that says. "Woe unto those who knoweth and doth not, for they shall be beaten with many strips." I know I piss my angels off and God just shake his head at me but I try hard to have integrity and try to give and help others. But someone in a seminar said that in your personal life... [ More ]

my big answer is YES! i do believe there is a GOD. i believe that it is a personal journey and for me, my GOD is as big as my faith allows. i also believe in the comment that Tenaj makes, bout' lookin' in the mirror. i believe that we have an overwhelming power within us that most of us rarely tap into given to us by GOD. ultimately i believe that we are all created in the image of GOD, so for me, my life task is developing and implementing all that GOD have given to me. a challenge though,...

Wanna know what God looks like? Look in the mirror. Whatever you say or do - is God - whether it be love, hatred, work, play, greed, war, destruction, guile - just to name a few. We didn't create the world but we are it's keepers. And it's a beautiful gift I might add. It didn't just appear. It was meticulously designed and we own it. But we are the creators of what's happening in this world. Whether it's confusion or unity, we create the fear, chaos, cheerf... [ More ]

I don't believe there is a "God" per-say, but another enactment of fanatics. I believe that there was a creator, and after looking at the movie it mostly solidifies the fact. What people don't realize or are afraid to acknowledge is the fact that he hasn't deterred any of the disasters that have gripped the world. He did'nt help the genicides, he hasn't been around for any of the recent catastrophies, such as all the helpless people from Katrina or any other disaster that I know of, but yet peop... [ More ]

Regarding global warming and the Pope, it is 85 degrees now & it's Dec 13!! :-) I believe that science does not need to be the enemy. God gave us science. Regarding church - I was raised Jewish, but I like all religions. Sorry Jim that the hypocrisy of others has turned you off to church. Once I mentioned that to a parishioner sitting next to me at a Pentecostal service. She said you don't go to church to worry or judge the others. They're just as screwed up as everyone else. (my w...

There are many people in this world who have morals without believing in a higher power. To suggest no one can be moral without is just plain idiocy. Nothing wrong with believing in a higher power, like I've stated earlier. I'm spiritual thinking maybe there is a higher force out there, but again, I have the courage to say I don't know who or what it is. I don't proclaim to know the serets of the universe based on some good feelings I get in my chest, with a tingling down my spine. The min... [ More ]

It hasn't been that long ago that America was a "God-fearing" nation. Through trial and error, we have discovered that if we lie, cheat, kill or steal, bolts of lightning DON'T flash from the heavens to leave us in a pile of smoldering ash. We have learned that the living need have no fear of God, that we can do pretty much whatever we want to do to each other, and that the bill won't become due until we're dead, if it ever comes at all. The Golden Rule has become terribly antiquated, and those... [ More ]

Oh yeah, I forgot where I was going with that:" Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if God don't take ya, the devil must."

I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe in God. And prayer does work wonders. Even if you don't get your answers right away.

i'm very open minded.love the responses so far.my belief lies somewhere close to what rick and pac has said.my grandmother died of cancer on my 16th birthday.at the time i lived in a house on a piece of land in a hunting game and reserve.to this day i don't hunt and don't fish.sorry guys i hate it.i moved from the city to the edge of nowhere country when i was 14.imagine being taken from the hustle and bustle to to a place where nothing ever happens and the main activity is gossipped about by all the neighbors.boy i got to be a handful to my mom and dad that i'm sorry about to this day even though i hated both of them at the time.i was what you might call a hippie back then even though it was the late 80's and i didn't mesh to well with the country boys then.i rebelled starting drinking,doing drugs and causing mayhem.the only solace i got once every weekend when school was out once going to my grandmother in the city an hour and a half away.then she got cancer and joined us in the hellhole.well i was already in agony at the time and going through growing pains and boredom too and now i had to watch my grandmother that i originally escaped to having spells going out of her head and talking crazy from the cancer.like i said she passed on my 16th birthday.the administration in the office wanted to see the hippie boy response when told grandma died.i gave them the finger and went on and got in the car and went home.just so everyone knows i've never been to jail and i'm one of the sweetest people you'd ever meet but back then i was a terror monster.well i was just about to the end of my rope at this place after this happened.i told my parents either let me be or i would make everyone even more miserable.i left home went to the city enrolled in school and instead of using my smarts i proptly when there and kept screwing up but i was more happier but still partying too much and not taking care of business.seemed like every couple years since '91 like clockwork someone i loved died until one year i almost did myself from all the heavy partying.i settled down and started working ever since but it all went back to those years when i felt hollow and it was terrible.the passing of my grandmother and living somewhere i didn't relate i shut something off that i never could fully explain.i guess you could say i thought about what others said about all the misery,wars,hunger,suffering,violence.i don't understand why it all continues and has for a long time.i wish there were more answers to it all.................
