So I figured I'd try to have a frank, open, MATURE *ahem!* discussion about masturbation. Specifically (more on) why I wanted to do this "experiment" and some religious aspects that I happened upon on the internets ( Read more... )

Telling my family I'm atheist feels like coming out the closet. That was silly. I have no idea what it feels like to come out the closet. In fact, I've no idea what their stance on non-religious and homosexual people are. I just know both are abominations. Maybe my family views them similarly. ...but perhaps they are much more open-minded than I ( Read more... )

I wanna talk about the gap. The gap between religious folks and those who don't follow a religion. The gap is the pause and physical tension you feel when you mention a nice event or moment and someone who doesn't know your beliefs says "isn't that a gift from God?" You pause not knowing how to react. Do you lie and feign piety, sprinkling your ( Read more... )

Can I just quickly say how pissed off I am that I went to the post office earlier and the teller/cashier told me she had no envelopes? For real, she may as well just evaporate and die. What good are you? What is your purpose? This is the damn post office, if you don't have something as basic as envelopes you might as well not exist ( Read more... )

Question, for my religious folks: Does this LJ, god_dot_com, offend you? Do you see it as blasphemous or silly or what? I think it's hilarious (check out the icon list lol! And the name 'God, Interrupted' makes me giggle), but I'm obviously not the least ( Read more... )

This may be the silliest post ever. I'm making this post mainly to say that I'm going to make a post. lol My client was given a Watch Tower on the street and it spoke about science. They're selling/distributing a book called "Is There a Creator that Cares about me?" saying that there is scientific proof that there is a Creator who cares about us. ( Read more... )

I've kinda been meaning to ask this for a while, but was worried either no one would answer or people might be offended or.... ANYthing. Religion seems to be a touchy subject, but fuck it! lol!

How did you come to believe whatever it is you believe?I realize that faith and other beliefs stem from things that sometimes seem.... inexplicable, but I' ( Read more... )

heaven
HEH-vun

the place in which eternal happiness is held; the spirit world to which those souls who are deserving - namely those who are merciful, moral, forgiving, ethical, nonjudgmental, virtuous, and righteous people - ascend to after their time on Earth has finished; the congregation of such souls ...What do we/you stand to lose if there ( Read more... )

I've been reading up on the Holocaust and subsequently read The Sunflower. It's the story of a Jewish man in a concentration camp who is led to the bedside of a Nazi who is dying. The Nazi, Karl, confesses to burning an entire village of Jews alive, then begs absolution from the Jew, Simon. Simon sits, listens to Karl, then gets up and leaves. So ( Read more... )
