1 Corinthians 7:25 "Now concerning the unmarried, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy." God's words may be pure, but the bible itself says in black and white that it does not only contain God's words. And Paul has no problem saying...

I have a job and will be getting my own place in a month or so if everything goes according to plan. I may not have much a relationship with my dad, but I love the guy and never badmouthed him, not sure what you're talking about. Bad day?

No. I treat the question of whether or not there is a God the same way as questions like "is time travel possible?" I don't know, I'll probably never know, I don't even think I'm capable of knowing, it's not effecting me as far as I can tell, so why bother with it..?

Everyone's a hypocrite sometimes, I don't see that as a Christian thing nor do I use that as reasoning for my disbelief at all. For the record I love my dad. He was abused and beaten senselessly as a kid so he didn't really know how to be a father or command respect except by forcing it...

genuinely lol'd  ;) I appreciate your concern man, honestly. My disbelief doesn't really stem from issues with the church or anything else like that. My disbelief is just that, disbelief. I do continue to seek out truth though and I don't consider my stance to be a closed case at all.

I'm not, I left Christianity when I was 17 (now 21.) Based on the terms of the Bible I would not being going to heaven. I don't however harbor any angry/resentment towards Christianity or my parents.

My parents are both Christians and my dad is very conservative. They are Sunday school teachers and my dad doesn't go a day without reading the bible. Very engaged in evangelism also. As for me, I'm a hugely extroverted person at heart and acted out a lot as a kid. Being hit with a belt for it...

Pretty sure every research that's been done on the subject has come to the same conclusion. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-me-in-we/201202/how-spanking-harms-the-brain https://www.ahchealthenews.com/2013/10/24/the-long-term-effects-of-spanking-a-child/...

Hitting kids leads to highly inhibited behavior and crippling anxiety along with a host of other mental disorders. Kids don't know the difference between getting hit for acting out/sinning and getting hit for being themselves. I can confirm, I've lived with "dog scared of getting beat" syndrome...

Vegan cat food is crushed and processed, meaning half of the digestive work is already done by the manufacturer. not to mention it is enriched with synthetic taurine (normally found exclusively in meat) which is a protein they would die without.

Penguins use their "wings" (flippers) for swimming, but they didn't always. Their wings are vestigial and their case is an anomaly.  ::) Good example though because penguins and their natural predator leopard seals are also carnivores and are forced to be so by the environment they are adapted...

Assuming this isn't sarcasm, lions don't/can't eat fruit. ::) Nobodies claiming to know all the answers. Nobodies accusing God of anything. I'm only calling a spade a spade. Wings are for flying, feet are for walking, fangs are for tearing flesh.

5 inch fangs were designed to maim and mangle, not munch on grass. ;)

true or false

Maybe it's just the younger crowd. Most guys my age are too busy partying and studying/working to even know what a forum is, let alone post on them. And i thought Christians struggling was a given? Idk. But maybe I made up those reasons for posting here on the spot and just wanted an outlet cuz...

not a troll. i'm not bored enough for that. why did I come here to ask? i associate forum users with a lack of local community/loneliness and Christians with internal struggle. Maybe someone could relate. I could be wrong, usually am, I don't mind

Totally agree, Christian leaders need scars, preferably vertically across the eyebrows. Physical cues of battle and triumph is absolutely essential to commanding respect.

I think I am becoming schizophrenic. I heard voices today. I feel powerless in life. I am succumbing to my old self destructive ways- self harm and a desire to use drugs. I used to be so normal. After high school I became depressed and a hermit. I see synchronicity (strong coincidence)...
