• (3 votes) For those who belive in God, do you think it matters what religion you join as long as you’re following the word of God?
  

  “Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?”
  
  Saint Augustine.

• (2 votes) I have completely lost all faith in Christianity.
  

  I would argue that it is much better to be honest with yourself than struggling to follow a path that you don’t honestly believe in. That’s called character.
  
  Just know that that you are allowed to change your mind, even back to chritianity, as the experience of your life unfolds. We live to be altered. Eventually your belief system (beit Buddha, Vishnu or Venus) will settle into something that resonates with you.

• (1 vote) what is your view on gay marriage?
  

  [quote courtybubble][quote Dr. Ralph’s Beard]Gays should come up with their own name for a partnership. It is not a marriage. Are we going to start letting people marry their dog next?[/quote]
  
  they have darling.
  its called a civil union ;)[/quote]
  
  They shouldn’t have to “come up with a different name for partnership”. That’s discrimination.
  
  Consider the racial segregation fight in the Southern States in the sixties. Blacks and Whites can ride the same bus, Whites up at the front, Blacks at the back. The bus takes both to the same place, and the seats are more or less the same no matter where you sit, but that’s not the point. To tell someone they can sit “here” but not “there” based on the color of their skin is discrimination. Just ask Rosa Parks.
  
  By the same token, telling someone they can call their monogomous union “this” instead of “that” based on their sexuality is also discrimination.

• (1 vote) Why do I find it so hard to forgive myself?
  

  Live in the moment. There is only the now. The past doesn’t exist, except to distract you from it.

• (1 vote) How can I stop being so gullible?
  

  Is being gullible the same as believing the best in people? If it is, I don’t think you should change LD. If someone says something with any other motive than honesty, that is on them.
  
  I think it appropriate to give your trust up front. If it isn’t reciprocated, then modify your behaviour, but don’t go into it guarded or suspicious. That’s no way to meet people.

• Who the hell is Xeno Dragon?
  

  You are a devout Christian who takes the Bible literally. You love an accept hypocrisy and adore people who argue without logic. You are a die-hard right wing Republican who wisely prefers to follow others rather than think for yourself.
  
  Your sarcasm and sense of humour are also epic.

• So there’s this guy I like.
  

  Don’t let him use you as an excuse to drop out of school. If he drops out, that’s on him, and would probably have happened anyway.
