Oh no offense taken, I have hard time with explaining my beliefs to other people, especially if I dont think they will understand where I am coming from.

I grew up in a christian household too. Both of my parents are very regilous. I'm not quite so much but I do have a connect with Him.

What do you mean by questioning?

ah. are you are limiting yourself by limiting your thoughts?

youre around my kid brother's age. =)



what is your social security number? =)


my faith, my life, my purpose. why do you believe?

^ I never try to limit my thoughts. After a while, I realize that they're right. If I ever do limit them, I'll possibly end up doing something I'll regret. I'll never be able to take back what I already caused, and that's the last thing I want.

I live..to keep the human population going. Though it really doesn't need to get any bigger.

^ In time, humans will over populate the earth.

I dont question my faith but I do often question about what future holds for me. I often question things like is this major right for me? How will this truely help filful my life in the future? But I have witnessed enough things that make me believe in what I believe. I have testimony to many remarkable things. I'm trying at moment to not focus too hard on questions I have no answer for and let life happen.

Huh, perhaps it is so. *shrug* Heh...
Ah, pondering life...its so interesting to think about.

^ Indeed it is. It's kind of confusing as well. Well, what do I know I have only lived about a decade and a half of it. I'm pretty sure there's many questions that will be answered as we grow old.

how do you intend to find this?

I live because not to live is to die.

We already over populate the earth. We're all suppose to die out anyways, in some billion/million years. The sun is suppose to explode. So, I guess I would just live to see what humans do to the world in the decades I'm alive.

^ It takes more courage to live than to die.

^ You may say I watch too many movies, but I always thought that the world would slowly sink...like Atlantis.

ah, so your existence amounts to passing on your genes. would you say you are living, or merely existing?

^ I say we do a little bit of both. We are existing because our parents brang us into this world, and we are living to complete our lives, however we shall live it.

I live because God has a plan for me when i'm on this earth.

Doesn't mean I always want to live. There was one period of my life where I didn't want to live at all. But you make decisions and choices all day that affect you, and people come in and out of your life and they change you as well. God throws curveballs and it's your choice whether to really duck or go with the flow. Sometimes I think we miss too much when we try to avoid life. Getting back on track with life has it's ups and downs. But it's a good thing to be alive, I think we miss the little things in life. A walk in the rain, A sunny day, A good cup of hot chocolate, Making music, Inspiring others, Feeling good about yourself...Just that kinda stuff, we look by it too often.
I live because God has total control, I live because I want to live and embrace life, I live to make a difference.

I think that's the most serious post I've posted in the Lounge lol

^ I think that's what he wants us to notice. I'm atheist, but I think that whatever comes our way. We are given the choices (like you said) to figure out what to do. Some choose to avoid, other choose to conquer. If you choose to avoid problems for the rest of your life, then I suppose they'll never learn.

Yeah, so basically, our parents live to pass down their genes to us. While they do this, they fufill things they want to do things in life. Then us, in turn, do basically the same thing.






The sun is going to get older, like all stars, and when it does it gets hotter. Therefore drying up earth. [discovery channel]

all my life i wanted to live, but all i can do is merely exist. i am not living, i am just following through the motions of life. where is God in my life?

^ I think it all depends on whether you'd like to pass down your genes. Some choose to give birth so that they can give life to others. But other will choose to skip that chapter and spend that time living their life and discovering the little things.

^ Well, those people who wouldn't like to have children just fufill the things they want in life. Whatever that may be.

Like me, I guess. I'm not sure whether I'd like to or not. But then again, it would be shallow for me to merely just worry about my life.

I don't think anyone is just merely existing. I believe everyone has a specific plan for their lives, everyone is given certain gifts to help them along the way. Some are gifted with leadership skills, Others with beautiful voices. Some are gifted with creating music, or just exceptionally great with design or computer programming. Everyone has life in them, like a light that shines through them, even though it might be small. It is your choice on how you want to live your life, on how you view it.
And, God is there the whole time. I believe he created you, he created you perfectly and didn't make one single mistake. He is there every step of the way, you just gotta call out to him.


I don't want to come off as preaching either....i tried not to...

because god gives us chances to live.

^ Is it just as simple as that?

I guess to some people it is.
