Does your government really give a damn about you? Does your church? Does your Mom?

From where I stand I think the Government doesnt care  a crap that our people are getting killed and why not let these countries fight thier own wars why do we get involved ? As for as the Church I think that if you pay your dues and help maintain the church and there everytime the doors are open then yest they care they wont beable to count on your money to help cover the next crusade if you arent there and take your money else where . As for as my mother I am begining to wonder . I know she cares and all but LOVE I dont think my mother will ever know what true love will be . Standards being placed on someone isnt love ! To show favortisum isnt love to act in a way that makes others feel bad isnt love !

Yeah I think society and culture have some influence on the weak, they follow blindly. I have asked many of my friends what they believed in and they just said they believe in what their parents believe and that is the only reason which means they are weak. True religion stands on its own regardless of whether those who are around it favor it as a majority or not =)

They are the only religion from my standpoint where if you go to the magazine study in one country on a sunday and go to another country on the same day, it's in sync. That has to be divine intervention. \nSome of my friends are. They always give me good advice and care about all races.\n\nThey  put up a kingdom hall in my town in like 2 months flat. Why cant the government help new orleans like this?\nIn my eyes they seem to strive for the good of mankind. And it seems like whenever someone does convert, they clean up their lives, seem happier. That proves to me it cant be all that bad.

Not that this is an excuse, but honestly, do you really think that your life is so interesting that the government cares enough about it to snoop through your stuff?  If it is, mad props and all, but I'm just not that concerned with the idea of Big Brother knowing what I REALLY think about my co-workers and that I'm one of those nerds who fills out online surveys for free stuff.

The government is Me ... the taxpayer.\nI'm busting my rear to support my family ... not abusing drugs, alcohol, my wife, my children. \nI'm not going to expect other taxpayers to support me ... and I have enough to do to take care of my own responsibilities before I'm going to pay your rent.

I have respect for all people. If you where walking past me and fell, I would help you to your feet. Would you accept my hand if you knew that I was a Christian? I hope you would, but my point is that, what I have seen of your religion, makes me think that you wouldn't. And its not my government, or my God(that I believe is god), that influenced my feelings on this. It's a combination of what I've seen and heard of your beliefs and the actions that make me want nothing to do with your religion. As a Christian I would hope you'd take my offered hand, but I can't bring myself to believe that you would.

They will never admit to it.Too much money being made out of it!What is the wealthiest organization in the world??With their own state, their own currency??\nLook at all the religious leaders they are all rolling in it, and all the worshipers are all brainwashed from a very early age to hand over their money.\nI was born into such a family, but the brainwashing didn't really work on me.\n\n\nSome people need something to hold on to, fortunately I don't.

I no longer give power to others by allowing them to determine my worth. I have a conscious contact with God, and pray for his will. Any queastions I have about my life, faith, relationships, Christians, etc.....all I have to do is ask God directly, and he provides the answers.

i'd do whatever it takes to save my friends.  In my eyes, the government laws are a bunch of crap.  i live by my own moral laws, which differ from the government.

No,My family & friends thinks that our Goverment is a Communist  thier trying to take our gun rights away,take our Freedom of speech, privacy act,  travel rights away they try to tell you where to go and not go, The government has to put there hands in there pocket and try to take Social Security, Medicaid, meals on wheels, and last wishes from children and elderly away. There trying to take hospice and the crippled rights and medicare away. There trying to make where people can't live anymore without family and friends. I know for a fact that this government is only for the rich and that's that. And i know for a fact that the rich people is going to live and there trying to get rid of poor people and that's that. Any young woman make sure before you get married you just know that when there

Yes, God still loves you actions and he always will. You are very blessed that you have parents that have given you a foundation to stand on. When you become independent you too will make choices for you and your children. Even though you may not agree with them, they have your best interest at heart and that will give you the courage to make a stand one day.When you are ready, nothing will stop you from making your own choices & decision.

I am!  Have been 25+ years! I work in a Juvenile Court, talked to and helped 500 kids per year- Some, did not want the help I gave them. But when they get older, they know. People helped me, when I was a kid and that who I am now. I have been a parent to thousands of kids in my life. I do dislike govt processes. But the power of one is great, it can change the world. You young kids find something important to do for others. It will bring great value to you life.

NO!! They have taken God out of schools ( I wish they hadn't). Government needs to leave the statement "In God We Trust" alone. We all need one thing that we can trust in. God is the best thing for that. If we don't have God then we might as well not be here.

I will tell you the truth..... I am strong in my faith.... I believe as I believe, not because my parents taught me the way, or that it was passed on to me from any other... but because I have studied it myself and came to the conclusion that what my parents have passed on to me is the Truth.......\n\nYet, if I were born in another country whose faith differs from what I know today, then I would be strong in another faith.....\n\nand that is because I would have studied what was given me from my parents and because it is the way that my people have always known the Lord God..... and that is how I would serve Him.\n\n\nYour sister,\nGinger,\ngmcfayden@yahoo.com
