I have been feeling really depressed lately. And the fact is, all the liberal with their anti-right vitriol are to blame. I try to keep my beliefs to myself, but their still important to me. When I hear all of you in mass condemning me for my belief and saying Christ would never have been with me, without even knowing ME, it kills me a little to think there is that much hate.

Well, my friend, forums like these are not good if you take things too personally. You have to have thick skin to be here.
As a veteran on here that is very open-minded, maybe expand on what your beliefs are and I will offer my experienced two-cent opinion.

I believe homosexual intercourse is a sin. But I think thoughts are something you can't control. I also don't think it's grounds for discrimination in housing or employment. However, the wedding thing is more touchy and should be approached diplomatically
I believe abortion is murder, but I don't think we should cut off all women's health services. I also believe we should increase funding to adoption services.

You could take a break or stick with the dirs. They are pretty much safe zones if the criticisms prove too much. Debates are designed to be intellectual crucibles to put subjects and topics through the paces.
OK, I would avoid going into those two subjects on this forum as you will quickly get besieged by the mainstreamers here and then depressed. Just keep those beliefs to yourself and others that share them with you. You will be much happier. Your mental health is most important to leading a spiritual life.

I'm depressed most of the time as well. I'm in the habit of focusing on things that depress me. There are a lot of beautiful things we can focus on and that will impact our behavior and mental health. So why focus on all the ugliness in the world? Get in the habit of focusing on things that make you happy. I know it's easier said than done. I'm very negative. But I'm working at changing my habits of thinking and the results are that I'm less depressed.

In as much as you see yourself being pulled under by the differences of opinion here, why not simply find more friendly ground?

Hello, SinSaber....
I'm sorry that you are depressed by various groups of folks and their beliefs. Let me see if I can offer any suggestion that might help.
It's very unlikely that you will ever see Gay intercourse out there because any intercourse in public is a crime. If you do see it you could call the police. I don't expect that you try to see such things in pornography so you're safe there as well. All that's left is your thoughts......... just think of things that give you comfort?.... .
Do you have bad thoughts? Ask to speak to a priest from your Church or dDenomination, maybe?
Do you worry about all those people who belong to other religions, or do things that you believe will make them go to Hell because they don't believe what you believe? There are billions of those in the World....... maybe you should just focus upon your own faith?
OK........ and if you support free medicare and education for all children up to adulthood then that would help support your views on pro-life, maybe?
If you are totally pro-life then possibly you could work towards ensuring that your Nation provides whole-life free day-by-day medicare for anybody who is born disabled in any way?
And so, by thinking about positive Christian action to support your community in things like free child medicare for all you are actually doing positive things, and positive actions help to break depression..... yes?
If there's anything to what is written in the Bible, Christ is with everyone.
One of my sins is that I too easily get angry. And since I'm on the left that is directed often to those on the right although I will also get upset with bigotry on the left.
Typical liberal. You don't even know my beliefs. You generalizing collectivists think everyone on the right is the same.
