You use a color printer and color copier and then you go to a foriegn country and find some hapless victem (because they are unlikely to know what the real currency looks like)to exchange your fake money with real money.  Then you go to the bank and exchange the money you have with the money you want.  For instance, you don't want to counterfiet dollars. You want to counterfiet yens, yauns and pesos for example.

Welcome to the real world.Religion is about select justification,not logic.The best thing to do is protect your own rights.

I don't think that this should determine or have any effect on the question of morality here.  The fact is that natural childbirth can cause tearing, sometimes very severe tearing.

The best advice I will give is to live your Christian life openly. Don't be judgemental or intolerant. As my youth pastor used to say "you may be the only Bible some people ever read." So keep that in mind as you go about your day. Stay focused on practicing your religion. Take the time to listen to your family members about what they believe and how they experience God. Just listen. There is a great value to listening, so many people forget that. A lot of people have more respect for people who take the time to listen and get to know what they believe. If you don't understand something they are saying, it is okay to ask for clarification, but don't judge or put down their beliefs. Just listen. Keep doing this. Eventually they'll start to ask you what you believe if they're curious. If they've been watching you and how you live and go about your life, they may start to get curious. When beginning to start to tell them what you believe (when they ask...remember no one likes to have someone tell them information they haven't asked for) make sure you make it clear that this is what you believe. What I mean is, don't make references to what they believe. Just state what you believe. This keeps you from showing signs of intolerance, disrespect, or that you are judgemental. Continue to take the time to listen to them. Ask them about their beliefs, why they believe it. Ask them about their spiritual experiences. That sounds odd, but all of us have them in some form or another. Sometimes we can explain them through our religion, and sometimes we cannot. You are getting personal with them and building trust between them and yourself. Be willing to answer questions about yourself, but never feel like you have to defend your believes or offend others. If all goes well, they will start to inquire more and more, they may start to go to church with you, they may want to read the Bible and that will open even more questions for you to answer from them. Don't always be so quick to answer questions. Sometimes you'll be asked questions that if you answer right away you might later regret answering the way you did. If you feel like you need more time to ponder a question, be honest and let them know that you'd like to think of how to give the best possible answer to their question. Most people will be understanding. DO NOT GET INTO RELIGIOUS ARGUMENTS. I can't stress this enough. Most religious arguments are not actually about spirituality, they are about ego. Be strong enough to step away from them.\n\nThis is my advice to you as a former Christian missionary turned Hindu (coincidently). What I have told you I have found to be much more effective at helping people in their spiritual life and helping them look more closely at what they actually believe. As a Christian I'll admit that I did get into trouble with my church who was more interested in gaining more members for revenue than it was about truly helping people spiritually (I took the words of a pastor there to heart when he said that "a hospital is a place where people go when their physical bodies are sick to get treatment, a church is a place where people go when their spiritual bodies are sick to get treatment.") I also still am friends with a great many Christians. They are all very tolerant and respectful of other people's beliefs. It is not that they do not want to 'save' people, they just have realized that being judgement, intolerant, and condemning people or even trying to provoke fear in them doesn't really seem to very effective. Respect, patience, and tolerance seem to work a lot better (remember tolerance means that you acknowledge their religious beliefs, it does not mean that you accept them).\n\nAnd most importantly, pray for your family. Be thankful for them, but also ask Christ to help you. Take time to not just pray in the sense that you do all the talking, but also take time to sit

First of all, there IS a God. The universe didn't just create itself. Second, God punishes unrepentant sinners. Those who do not recieve(believe) the atoning sacrifice of Christ when they die are punished. If you admit that you are a sinner and believe that Christ died for you than you become a Christian, or, a follower of Christ. As a Christian you are commanded to love all people, even those who seem unlovable. So, as  Christian you wouldn't snub people off. And if people snubbed you off you would try not to let it bother you. Those who aren't Christians don't care how they treat people and they don't think about what happens after they leave this life.

You would think so but it doesn't seem to work like that on here.\n\nWhen i first started using this about 6 weeks ago i did get some reasonable answers to questions. All that seems to happen now though is abuse so i just answer questions. I suppose it depends on who"s on at the time.\n\nAlot of religious people just seem to want to condemn others though. Little wonder alot of people don't want anything to do with religion or its followers.

You profile says "life sucks but if God is with you its not so bad" maybe you need to repeat that to yourself a couple times.  My grandma always said God will never give you more than you can handle.  Whether you believe in God or not, suicide is not the answer. I think you know that or you would not be asking us about suicide methods.  You obviously want us to stop you from making a horrible mistake you could never take back.

Stop being Christians, duh.\n\nHave a great godless day!  Message me with questions or comments.

These people dont know sh!t! No body knows, so they cant solicit advice about something they have no clue about. Its all based on speculation and assumption. No body knows for certain, but its what you want to believe. No body knows if god really exists, but almost all the world believes in him. Find out for yourself rather than asking these ignorant folks on yahoo. And while your at it... maybe take a spelling lesson or two. G-H-O-S-T ... you typically learn that in 2nd grade.

"If there’s no absolute standard for “good”, then who’s to say what’s good and what’s bad?"\nIf you need guidance from an imaginary friend to prevent you from becoming a serial rapist, then do us all a favor and keep going to church.\n\nMorals are relative. They are dictated by society. They stem from the human need to continue the species and avoid as much unnecessary harm as possible. We didn't need Christianity or your hypocritical God to tell us that stealing, killing, and rape is wrong. A very simple question of "would I want that done to me" is all that is necessary to determine if the action is "moral" or not.\n\n"Sure, “good” might exist in a temporary sense, such as this society or civilization, or even the propagation of this species. While I’m alive."\nYou answered your own question, but you keep going.\n\n"But after I’m dead, if there’s no judgement or next life, what do I care what happens here when I'm gone?"\nWhy do you feel the need to be judged? Has Christianity really seeped that far into your thought processes? \n\n"Logically, it seems foolish for me to care."\nBut you asked the question.\n\n"And if there’s no harm to me and my life gets better, then why should I feel bad?"\nYou shouldn't. Are you considering the questions you're asking? Truly considering them? Or are you just asking them for the sake of argument? You would feel bad if you are harming others... that is, unless, you see nothing wrong with harming others.\n\n"After all, I only have one life, and who’s to say that I shouldn’t make the most of it for myself? I can choose to not feel bad because it wouldn’t make sense for me to feel bad."\nThat's the beauty of it! MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LIFE. Decide what is ethical and what is moral by doing what makes YOU feel good while doing what makes OTHERS feel good... because when you make others feel good or you prevent or reduce unnecessary harm, I can guarantee you that you will feel good. You don't need a god or religion to tell you that.

I think I might have an answer to part of your question, if I may. Of course, I can only speak from my own experience, but here goes. Maybe the reason we don't post questions about our relationships with our spouses, friends, family & other such issues is that we get our help from the Lord. We have His big book of answers, that helps guide us along our way. We also have each other, being connected by the same Spirit. We pray, asking God for guidance. We go to our Pastor's, asking for deeper answers from parts of the Scriptures that we're not acquainted quite so well with. You see, some issues need to be given into God's hands. You've seen some of the dating & relationship posts here...would you trust your relationship issue with most of the people that post on those sites? It's not intriguing when you think about it. But, one of the reasons I come to this site is to use my years of various experiences to help people. I don't always use Scripture, because it's not always required, especially when someone wants to know how to get wine stains out of their carpeting. Or how to get their two year old to talk. Things like that are practical, everyday experiences. Being that I've been married for over 28 years, raised two kids to adulthood, and have a mess of other experiences, I can help people...and I do. And yes, I am a "devout" Christian. I treat everyone with respect and answer every question carefully, even the ones that are nasty or just plain goofy. It's part of my nature to treat everyone as I would hope they treat me. For the most part, if you give respect, you get it back. This forum is a wonderful, yet scary thing. Through this site, I'm getting a different view of the world than the evening news ever could give me. There are just so many hurting young people out there, and I want to reach out to them. It's more than just the "mom" in me, it's the Lord Who is in me. Everything that gets to me has to go through Him first. I hope this helped answer your intrigues. <*)))><

Don't do it. You are free from stupidity, and want to go back. Don't ask for that, enjoy thinking, and living by your rules. Stay away from religion.

The fact that you would even make a statement speaks volumes about your intelligence. They are giving you their version, what they know to be true as taught to them. Have some respect. If not for their religion then at least for them as humans.

So far, all I've heard is a lot of responses to a terrorist question, but everyone is responding to the word abortion. People hear abortion and get stuck on it, and get off track of the original issue. I'm with you...lisagirl, so far. Mr. Scholar, when people ask and respond here, they don't "talk" they type. Maybe you should change you name to uneducated.

Even though I admire your efforts, the way you have asked the question, will only make the christians feel insulted and become defensive. Only a very openminded one would read your post and seriously think about what you are saying. Good points, though.

Hi, I have constantly asked the same question and have advised Christians on this forum to leave these questions alone, to not even click on them as they will only disturb their peace.\nin this way all those who post vile comments will finally be wasting their time as no reaction is unfulfilling to them.
