    Why do Christians condemn LGBTQ as Evil?

    Kudos to those here who have correctly identified some of the Biblical scriptures denouncing the LGBTQ movement. I think it's important for everyone to understand that a Christian's objection to this type of sexual immorality that's specifically defined in the Bible is not a mere closed minded...

    I HATE this thing they call life!!!!! Why am I even here. It can't be just to hurt and be unstable

    MindyT, your condition and situation is rightfully distressing. I'm in no position to rescue you but will offer my encouragement and comments along with the others here. I agree with their assessment of getting social security disability since I saw my neighbor fight the same battle. It...

    Why am I still here?

    Fragilegirl, your health issues and lack of close relationships are shared by many of us here, so venting and seeking support is quite welcome. I wish to comment on your lost feelings, passion, and purpose for life. I see this as a prevalent problem for so many people today, but it needn't be...

    Forgiveness?

    TheRealCallie has made an excellent point that others here affirm - that forgiving is a way of letting go of hurt and anger from within ourselves. I agree with that premise but suggest that it's a secondary benefit of forgiveness, not the primary purpose. As a Christian, I know that we "should"...

    I'm sick of all of this

    Arekkusu, we hear you. I think all of us here are lacking the relationships we need, be it family, a good friend, or a true lover. There's no easy or simple solution, but I'd offer this comment. As a Christian, I believe that we were created for a purpose, and that is to love God and to love...

    Hey!

    Welcome arekkuss. You're off to a good start here, and with an issue that many of us can relate to. I understand the various legitimate reasons to dislike people and to keep the defenses up. And as one gets older, screwed over and rejected by more people and more ways than ever, it can become...

    My Long time addiction has rendered me Hopeless

    Suman.1407, your personal responses themselves are appreciated, since many people here post but don't reply to any of the responses. You've realized quickly and correctly though that anyone's welcome here despite their character flaws or current struggles in life. The point I was making before...

    New here

    The others are right about your age Safiyah. Your feelings of loneliness are understandable and shared by many here, but your feelings of growing old alone are quite premature. Your 30's and 40's are still prime years to feel youthful strength and optimism.

    I dare you to say hi to 100 people everyday.

    I think greeting 100 people in a day would be a monumental task for anyone and an impractical notion for most of us not making a YouTube video. But, the point is a good and valid one. If you think about it, no one would ever smile or greet another if one person wasn't assertive enough to make...

    I can't get rid off the feeling

    Someday, you've expressed so many problems that it overwhelms any simple answer, as evidenced by the responses. Allow me to offer a more specific secular and Christian perspective. Considering the thousands of people we interact with over a life time, the number of people actually knowing and...

    Unanswered Prayers?

    Dan27, your questions and frustrations are fair ones shared by both believers and unbelievers. You've mentioned suffering, injustice, and unanswered prayers in the world - 3 important issues which challenge God's existence, goodness, and power. There are reasonable Christian apologetic answers...

    They are Gone for a Reason.

    Thank you Ewomack. What a nice thing to say. I have many friends with strong opposing religious or political views but we still appreciate and respect each other. I'm glad you and I can share that camp.

    Shy and introverted. What are some of the best options to meet someone.

    Joecan, as everyone suggests and you're already doing, getting out of the house is essential - for simple social interaction or deeper friendships. However, it's not enough to just put yourself in a public space with others; you need to be the first to initiate contact. It takes forced...

    They are Gone for a Reason.

    Allow me to offer a dissenting opinion here. I agree with your point that many people don't change much, but I don't think that necessarily equates to a lost friendship being a lost cause. Here's my significant experience with the matter. As I progressed through high school, college, and 6...

    Rational or Irrational Beliefs?

    Colster, I recognize your aversion to religion, and especially Christianity, but I don't criticize you harshly as you've done twice to me now. Perhaps you could allow as much tolerance for me as I do for you. We're allowed to have differing views here. That's what makes a forum interesting...

    Loneliness/ isolation in the countryside.

    Welcome Tree frog 1. Your once a week social visit with friends is better than many here are doing. Still, I think we all need more than that. I'd encourage you to befriend your rural neighbors who might not have their social calendars full either. A weekly visit with 2 or 3 different...

    I don't know what to do anymore

    Yes, welcome Princesscici8. I've 5 good friends that are grossly overweight for various reasons and it certainly makes life harder for them. It's no simple task undoing underlying emotional causes or making major diet and exercise lifestyle changes. But, there are plenty of testimonies...

    Tablets, do they help?

    Traveling the world full time, living out of 2 bags, and not being very IT adept, I've been relying on a tablet/keyboard setup for the past 7 years. I do almost everything on it, using a home or internet cafe computer only rarely. Although each of my two Samsung Android tablets have failed me...
