Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences

If someone said that to me, then I would ask them to show it to me in the Bible. I have yet to see the scripture that says suicide is a sin, but I have read in the Bible at Exodus 20:13 where God says quite plainly ‘you must not murder.’ There and in other scriptures we can see that God values human life. It would be a great disrespect to the Giver of all life for a person intentionally destroy another human life, no matter how it is done (murder, suicide, abortion, whatever).

It may be that people wish to separate themselves from ANYTHING they consider mainstream. I knew a girl who was into Wicca (witches & magic). She just seemed really fasciniated with the occult and supernatural things. I would be very, very careful, though about associating myself with something that I could not explain. You never know what you are getting yourself into! On another note, was your issue with embracing religion the Bible itself, the conduct/behavior of the priests, the church traditions, or the teachings that were clearly not Bible-based but taught anyway? I have found that sometimes people assert their own opinion as if it were a fact. It is MY opinion (which incidentally, is backed up by the Bible) that Christians should adhere only to the Bible as the ultimate authority, not a man or saint or a tradition. Don’t give up on the thought of a higher power or supreme creator just yet; keep looking til you find a religion that will teach you the truth about who God is and what he stands for. Just because YOU don’t beleive in Him does NOT mean that he doesn’t actually exist. Just a thought…
