Hey there Lily! Welcome back home!
I'm not active on this website anymore, but I decided to come back just for old time's sake to see if the Catholic community was active on this website or not. When looking at the Catholic DIR it appears that, except for Mark Dohle, there is no one else that...
Oh, no worries!
And I completed all of the courses needed to get into the program, so now I just have to wait until tomorrow to see if I can get in or not. I have to enroll online so I'll see if I can press the enroll button to get in before anyone else can get to it.
Well, when you put it that way, I guess that does sound a bit selfish... but then, I guess in this world sometimes you have to be a bit selfish in order to get what you need/want, and I need to get into this position. Otherwise, I'm not sure what other career path I'll need to take in order to...
Means you might need to find other ways of connecting with God.
Same thing happened with me when I started taking antipsychotic meds. Made me pretty sad but anything is better than being eaten alive by your own mind.
I'm about to start social work classes this Fall and I'm excited yet scared out of my wits at the same time. I'm excited because this will be the beginning of my journey to who I want to be. But, at the same time, I'm petrified because I'm not guaranteed a spot in the social work program. I...
Sometimes I wish I could just declare myself as agnostic and just leave my beliefs at that. For years now I've been chasing religion after religion trying to find some comfort, but each time I try that I always hit a dead end either due to my own morality or my sense of reasoning. "Maybe if I...
I wonder why the term is called "cherry-picking" at all, to begin with... hmm... Anyways, I have a question to ask regarding religious systems and what to follow or not follow.
I was raised Muslim from the time I was born until I was old enough to leave the house and live with other relatives...
I just got to thinking, what exactly happens to us after we die? I don't mean our bodies. What I mean is, what happens to our "soul" after we die? Do you think it goes to Heaven or Hell? Do you think it gets reincarnated until we achieve Nirvana? Or do you think nothing happens? Or something...
I could consult my parents to teach me more, but they might not be as effective as an actual teacher that's trained to teach about the faith of Catholicism. But it's whatever I guess. In the end, I just want to gather the facts that way I can make an informed decision about what I'm doing with...
It's important for me because I want to know about where they are coming from and what they believe. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, personally. I just have a mighty need to satisfy my thirst for knowledge, that's all.
I just wanted to clarify here that the Inquiry classes are for people interested in the faith and there is no pressure to commit, at least not immediately. I'm taking the classes so I cam at least make an informed decision on whether or not I want to be Catholic. Besides, I want to know more...
Hello everyone. I'm back and I'm feeling as down as ever. Last time I posted I was convinced that I wanted to be Jewish. That lasted for a good month or so... then I realized that something was still not being fulfilled in my spiritual journey and so I had to say "Thank you, but I'm going to...
Thank you. And happy Hanukkah to you well, if you happen to celebrate it. :)
I'v never really looked into Baha'i too in depth, but from what I can tell, it's not for me. I think I've already found my spiritual home in Judaism, but to anyone else who finds Baha'i constructive, I think that is...
It's been what feels like a very long time since I last tried associating with any religion. The last time I tried, something in my head freaked out and I was changing religious opinions every week if not every day. It was a tiresome time to be in and yet here I am a few months later, more...
Well this is an awkward time in my life to be in. Basically, what has happened with me is that recently I stumbled across a certain part of YouTube. I found some conservative and anti-feminist YouTubers who I strongly disagreed with, but strangely enough I got consumed by my distaste and decided...
I'm having an extremely hard time with this question. Recently, I've been re-evaluating my stances on a lot of things and abortion is the one topic that has been stumping me. On one hand, you have the rights of the woman to consider. And what if it was from incest or rape that she got pregnant...
