She has a lot of hurt in her. A good therapist would help her heal much more than belief in a god. Christians and Atheists alike, can you give this a thumbs up if you agree? It may help others like her.
Why does god even have to enter into this conversation? People are ignorant about the world they live in, and feel threatened by people who are different. Education will help to bring about change, not belief in an imaginary god. It's time to stop believing. MY life has improved in so many ways, and brought so much peace to me once I learned the history of christianity, myths, and the failure of prayer. Let's turn to reality and education why we feel what we feel,and not call the unknown 'god'.
1. Knowledge of ethics doesn't translate to an "ought" for people to do something ethical.
2. if you don't believe... fine... but stop being religious about it and stuffing your beliefs into other people's faces... iamsecondHQ isn't trying to force themselves on you so chill out. if you don't like it, skip it.
1. This is not a case for/against god. And ethics DO imply ought, for the benefit of the 'tribe'.
2. I would attack astrology or tarot card reading as vigorously as I do religion if either were as prevalent and ruining the world. For instance, politicians let the bible shape their policy, especially on stem cell research. I was a believer for nearly 40 years and understand how hard it is to let go of the notion of god, having 'felt' him at times.
@mikemfd232 so ur obviously set in what u believe as I am so I'm just going to reply 1 more and then leave it at that:
1. The moment u said that God doesn't exist u made a truth claim against His existence. The good of the tribe sounds like ur implying a socio-biological survival of the fittest individuals by the survival of the group but that only means that each group subjectively creates their own ethic that they enforce w/in the group and any outside judgments can't be suported
1 cont) which to me means that what Hitler did really wasn't wrong in the Grmn group at that time, only wrong to the Am group & there are a lot of people who are educated on "right" and "wrong" and still don't do it ex. Hitler's scientists, enron ceo
2 tarot card reading and astrology is rampant especially in asia so u have ur work cut out for u and if Christianity is simply based on feeling and not faith & reason then I can understand it being sumthin that doesn't seem plausible.
@santokisem 1. It was catholic doctrine to kill Jews. Many don't know this- ask a priest- he might. Secular values changed this.
2. Tarot card reading and astrology is not taken seriously by most people in america. We are allowed as a culture to immediately dismiss those silly beliefs. Crazy christians are not so easy to laugh off. You come across as a down to earth, level headed moderate, but moderates allow the crazies to get a free pass for respecting each others belief.
1 A LOT of catholicism is NOT what Jesus taught therefore NOT entirely Christian, learning church hist. makes this obvious & when I say "Christian" I mean a Christ follower not simply a denom follower; sec wstrn values are born out of the JudChr. worldview
2not moderate I'm cons, I have no problem listening to others but I also search for truth & defend what I believe but I do more so with others that call themselves Chr rather than non-Chr
Wonderful story! God has truly been working in your life. Even though I'm african american, I've had my struggles with going to a predominately white high school and currently college right now. All in All, God places me in these out of the ordinary environments because he wants to teach me and show me his love in many ways. Again Your story was awesome and I pray that God may continue to bless you for your faithfulness.
I was born in China, have no clue who my parents are, I was given up for adoption, and then got adopted to the whitest state in America..... yeah, I understand where she's coming from. I want to be white... But now... I should probably work on being happy with how God made me. Yep.
you are soo beautiful if anyone is struggling with skin color issues and such think of it this way You are Created in God's Image If he made everyone beautiful God could have been brown he could have been any color he wanted to be. we are created in God's image and he is beautiful so that means we are beautiful no matter what color our skin is we are all the same in God's eyes. God loves everyone
..... When I was about your age I wanted EVERYONE to like me. One day I was very upset about this and spoke to a Priest at St.Anthony's Shrine in Boston,who said,'Friend, there will always be people who don't like you; you are who you are in God's eyes.' - BANG - a light went on and I exclaimed, 'Yes! that is right !!' Most of the my past 30+ years have been spent 're-remembering ' that . Take Care and God Bless.
Discrimination as she describes happens far too often, more often than most like to believe or even admit to. Sadly it even happens by people who themselves claim to be Christians. When we all know thats not possible. Her story while very touching isnt shocking. But at least she found God out of her experience, that doesnt happen in this situation most of the time, usually it just builds resentment .So I guess its safe to assume the guy was a wimp & dumped her because of his family.
Maybe you should start a real Church based only on these words, GOD is Love and compare it to churches who attack natural people in their natural GOD welcoming state of evolution. Who is lying who is insane who is a stupid pain, get with the program of a free world dont kill women dont kill girls all the females of the world are the goddess of eternity. All the unborn are my6 concern , war if for idiots with no concern, they are sleeping and being puppets reduced to mindless stupid asses
@99minerkc I can guarantee you that God did not tell you to say that trash you are speaking. There is no church where we belong that is dictated by color. If it were so then we would all be one race in color. We are one race and that is the Human race and until people like you stop defining your entire life by color we will always have racism from people whose mindsets mirror yours.
Wonderful testimony! How come color has so much to say? Why can't we just see what God sees in us? I'm white, but I've never really thought much about what skin color my friends have. I have mostly white colored friends, but among my closest friends I have black friends and asian friends as well as white friends. God is the same! And He loves us just as we are; He created us that way - so we should be happy with ourselves and each other too!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@d4l2w7 Then get out of that church and go to one where you belong! NO god called you to anything! You thought of that idea in your conscience and you're trying to prove to yourself that you're not racist, you don't need to prove anything to yourself! Now be a good doobie and go to a black people church! :-)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@99minerkc Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, don't get mad at me because god told me to make that comment to you! If you have a problem with that take it up with jesus. Have a good day.
this video really hits home for me. i'm a half asian athlete bound for D1 athletics as well and all through my younger years in white schools i felt this exact same way until i truly embraced the love of God and began to love the uniqueness he gave me. i'm also from texas like her!
