Yeah, I never want to be in a hospital again after my bro had to go there because he was shoved into a pole racing his friend to the cafeteria.

It happens everywhere, you know. There's some of us who try to change things, but we just get made fun of because we're Christians and doing what God wants us to do. If you are a firm believer in God, not part of any of the popular crowds, or like things that are different from others, it seems you're a prime target most of the time.

I'm getting sick of it, seriously.

God promises trials and tribulations. Don't give up, have faith. I am ur bro in Christ, and I will help any way i can.
~I love you Mew! With all my heart and soul~

As to being a target if you're not part of the majority, that's always been true. As I said, human nature...

Christians doing what God wants you to do? Must you do things because a religion tells you to, instead of your own conscience and mind?

I really... I really don't think it's about being Christian or doing the right thing. It's about how you do things. That's why some Christians get picked on and some don't. As Secret's been trying to point out, I think, it's more about your personal character and beliefs rather than the domination you label yourself, kupo.

Exactly. You can't really say that it's "doing what God wants you to do", because people have far different opinions on what God "wants" you to do. People have become suicide bombers or started wars (see: Crusades) because God "wanted" them to do it.

Why have things changed? Why is it the people we held close to us as those we trust are turning against us? Why are there those we supposedly stand up for us and talk behind others' backs? What's become of everyone?

I'm getting sick and tired of this not only in school, but everywhere. I've been scarred forever because of it, and yet it keeps happening. And people pick on others just to impress their friends. I have one example of a kid who's just lost all his care for living, and I worry that he's just going to go and kill himself one day. My friend Jenny and I share the same fear. We can all see what's happening, but we don't know what to do.

And the people here... People I thought I knew have changed so much. I admit it, there are some who I'm even afraid of talking to.

What in the world's happening to us? Go ahead, say I'm stupid. Won't really matter. I endure it every day of my life. But if you think about it, then you know that something is really wrong.

Since your first breath of life, you have begun to change, as we all have. Not a second on this planet has ever gone by, or ever will, that every living thing repeated the same exact atcion down to the deepest detail twice. These are what we call gradual changes. However, experiences in life, such as a birth or death, can drastically change the physical appearance of someone or even change the heart and mind, for better or for worse. True strength comes when one is able to overcome hardship. This task is not easy however. Your friend most likely cannot bear his/her burden alone. However, this situation is very delicate. Too much intervention can show false signs. Never the less, you should probably tell someone about your other friend's behavior. Assuming that you go to school, you should talk the the troubled friend and possibly consider consulting a counsueler. I am not, however, a professional psycologist, so if you second guess me, it's not like i have a degree.

God tells us to love even our enemies and to help others. All the stuff that happens like wars and suicide bombers is because people take God's word completely out of context.

And I don't HAVE to do what God tells me to. Everyone has that decision. I do it because he wants me to, and it's the right thing to do. If I threw my Christian principles out of the window, I'd become no better than the kids who treat others like crud.

You'll pardon me if I say that what you've said here is crap. I'm an athiest, and you wanna know about isolation and mocking? Most of the world is Christian. Perhaps they lack your level of commitment, but they have been taught to respect God, and if you aren't a Christian, it certainly doesn't end well. I have almost no friends, assuming I get any, it probably isn't smart to tell them my views.

And furthermore, how can anyone know what God wants them to do. Assuming he's there, he is an omnipotent, inscrutable person. How can anybody honestly say that they know what he wants? Aren't we imperfect humans? How can we understand a perfect being? Aren't religions merely speaking for him? And that's without involving the other religions, with other views about what God/Allah/Brahma wants.

"And because it's the right thing to do."

Well, that's good, at least.

Morality was around before Christianity was started. Besides, some of those "christian principles" contradict with others- the ones involving homosexuals, for example.

Not only is it written in God's Word, but He's a loving God. He doesn't want any to suffer. We may not be able to understand God Himself, but we can understand that He wants us to help others and bring them to know His love.

Most of the world is Christian.

Tangent- That's quite untrue. Most of the western world is Christian, as is Europe, but the rest certainly isn't.

Now THAT is a good principle to live by. Except the "bring others to know his love". Attempting to press religion on people is a definite no-no.

Well if ppl don't like u for ur religion than they arn't rly your friends. Im lucky i have friends that don't care what i am,where i come from,or anything else but who i am. im Catholic and yes im not very commited heck i hate going to church....and sumtimes i wonder if there rly is a "god" but i think that the true meaning of god is someone something thats good or something to help make u a better person.

Also lets not get into an arguement over Religion,people have free will to believe what they want ok?

My friends and I don't press it on others. If they don't want to listen, we leave them alone and hope God just works in their hearts. You're just like two people from Fanfiction.net, Xtians Suck and Anna Vashalda... *shakes head*
