I love to meditate and take walks through nature. I do find these to be spiritual at times. I also find it to be spiritual to have deep connections with love partners. It is very beautiful.
I think many people are Christians out of fear, but not all. I think many times children are Christian out of here but then as they grow up and mature (hopefully) and start really thinking, they become Christians from the heart.
Just live. Don't concern yourself with matters like why we are here and what are "purpose" is. I don't believe we have a purpose. Just to make other people feel safe and happy.

People should feel free to believe whatever they want to believe. However, I wish that everyone could believe in peace and not let their views become more important that acting kindly and gently to everyone.
I would try to change the rice-krispies to an egg white omlet or some high protein and fiber cereal!
Flash cards. Study until you know them all and then quiz yourself 3 times an hour.
You do not have to be a Christian! You can be anything you want to be, preferably you choose to be a good person and do good things for others, but beyond that, what you believe in your mind and heart is up to you and is not anyone else's business or c...
I think it is great to always be thinking about what you do and do not believe in. It is also great to always be thinking about who you are you who you are not. So congradulations for thinking about your beliefs and yourself. Personally, I am atheist...
I believe that the positive thinking helps. If you believe you will get cured, it can brighten your attitude and make you a more happy and positive person. It can be calming and it can help you think through your problems, fears and wishes.
I would say a good, simple amount is running five miles a day. If you have extra time (maybe a weekend) I would run 8-10 miles.
Personally, I think it is very unclean sounding, but it has been proven that urine is good for your skin and can really clean up acne. I haven't known anyone to wash their face with their own urine, but apparently sometimes dermatologists recommend it ...
Everyone is different. Maybe you will reach it next year, or maybe when you are 19. Do not worry about it! I got my period when I was 16 because I exercise so much which really put it off. Usually, puberty is genetic. If your mom started growing breas...
I do not recommend you eat less than 1,500 calories a day. Of course, people have SURVIVED on much less but that is in no way healthy, especially if you are active and exercise a lot. Your brain also needs fuel to think and work, so if you eat 600 cal...
If we keep abusing the environment, the end of days may be coming soon.
Soccer is sooo much fun!!! You should really play. Peace : )
OF COURSE!
RICE Rest Ice Compress Elevate PEACE :)
kmart- Talking about religion with some of the people here is kind of like going in circles...don't get your hopes up too high.
kmart- I have said this before but I will say it again. You are very intelligent!!! Keep thinking and loving. I like the way you think and how you pose your questions. I think you know there is no proof of god. Maybe you like to see all the crazy Chri...
I agree with that. The experiences one has shapes the way one thinks, acts and feels.
Find something that makes you happy. When you feel like cutting yourself, do that happy thing :) Seriously though, if you want to stop, you need to take every measure possible including seeing a therapist that can help you with problems beyond cutting...
What does being overweight mean? It means who have more "weight" than you should. Maybe this weight is fat, maybe it is muscle. You are probably only very slightly overweight so I wouldn't worry about it. Just eat healthy and exercise. Don't pay too mu...
Depending on where you live you can work in a supermarket, bakery, ice cream shop or post office. You can definately do things like babysit, mow lawns, shovel snow for neighbors and get cash that way.
You might be overweight or just have a LOT of muscle!
Every war.
I agree with reading the instructions. You can also try putting some lubrication gel on the tampon to make it slide in easier. Maybe that's why it is easier for you to get your fingers up than it is a tampon. Keep exhaling and pushing it in at the righ...
Do you mean that you want people to know you are Christian? Or that you want to show people you are Christian? If you want people to know you are Christian, you could just tell them, like you told us. If you want to show people you are Christian, you...
I'm so sorry and my heart really goes out to you, especially being someone who understands your situation as I have been in it many times in varius places. You need to stay strong and believe in yourself. I know you believe in yourself because you hav...
Do you fattening foods? Fattening foods should be eaten in moderation!
What is feminax? You can take advil, motrin, etc. to ease the pain.
Do lots of cardio to shed the fat. Do strenghtening exercises to make your inner thighs stronger and more toned. Peace
trisarahtops: Sorry, my "simple" answer is: No By Christian I meant believers in god. The only time I have ever heard anyone talk about this the way you do were Christian. What religion are you? I'm eager to know.
I'm a competitive swimmer and the best advice I have is to really just worry about yourself. Only look at the people beside you a few times to get that extra push of energy. You really need a lot of stamina and good breathing techniques. You say that y...
You can gain muscle in your backside. I suggest doing that instead of getting fat and hoping it goes to your bottom.
Do you mean like natural disasters and war? The bible isn't psychic...
A common enemy? Way to be negative about humanity and the world. No, we do not have a common enemy. There may be things we don't enjoy like hate, war, intolerance, suffering and unfairness. I think it is terrible to think that "we all" have a common e...
This quote just shows how weak Christians are. It shows that this is a religion based out of fear...like, I wouldn't believe in god, but I'm afraid there really is one, so I guess I will. Seriously people, take off your chains and think!
Exercise (CARDIO!!) at least once a day for one hour. Here is a healthy meal plan for one day: Breakfast: Egg white omlet with green pepper and onion Snack: Half an apple and a few slices of non-fat cheese Lunch: (This should be your biggest m...
You can be any age. You just need it to be published. You can always write a book when you are six years old and publish it five years later. There have been many many great young writers.
It depends who/what they work for. Like any other profession, drug&alcohol counselors can make anywhere from low salaries to very high salaries becaues they can work in a multitute of places: hospitals, free clinics, schools, etc. They can own their ow...
First of all, no matter if we believe in god or not, we can all still be polite and civil to each other. We are all people and deserve love and respect. kmart-I think you are very wise. It is important to think using logic. I suggest you read some boo...
No, he won't go to hell unless he is a terrible person and does bad things to people (kills, steals, lies). For being gay or having gay sex? No. Everyone is allowed to love and seek love in any way they please. Peace
Milk, yogurt, cheese all have protein. There are some vege burgers and soy nuggets like taste really good and have a lot of protein. Try to take some supplements like fish oil and calcium. Eat a handful of nuts. For dinner, have brown rice and beans wh...
I have spent my entire life wondering the same thing. In the United States, marijuana became illegal because of the white supremacist hate of Mexicans. Cigarrettes, in the United States are legal and not affiliated with the Food and Drug Administratio...
Good for you for knowing you need counseling. Tell your mom that you are (fill in the blank) and need counseling. Make it simple. If she doesn't believe you or want you to get counseling, try to find a teacher, advisor, other adult to talk to your mom ...
YES!!! If you stop using the muscle, it will just become weak and turn into fat.
Good people are good people no matter is they are atheist, Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, etc. Bad people are bad people no matter if they are athest, Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, etc. Bad actions are bad actions and in my opinion, those are the people...
There are some very recent scientific studies that have shown that milk consumption does not help build bone mass or protect bones. For bones and muscles, you need CALCIUM and vegetables! It has been shown that people who eat lots of vegetables have st...
That's a really good question. When you use weights try to use lighter weights and do more repetitions. This will make all the small muscles really strong and will work your fast twitch muscles. This will build up your endurance. Using extremely heavy...
