    Antipsychotics: to Take or to Leave?

    Welp, It's up to you then. Personally, I'd go with the Doc's recommendation. Pretty much most meds come with side effects, so you're probably not going to find alternatives that will be much better. Even the pill, a commonplace prescription, has side effects that can ultimately kill you.

    Antipsychotics: to Take or to Leave?

    Easy. Get a second opinion. Let the second doctor know your concerns and ask their medical opinion. If nothing else, they might be able to assuage your fears or just flat out tell you they don't think you should do it.

    will it happen

    Yup. It's pretty much par for the course as a Christian to be told that. Don't worry about it. You don't need her approval anyway, and you shouldn't want it either.

    Why do many religions condemn sexual pleasure?

    God also gave us arms long enough for us to reach other people's necks and choke them to death. We're capable of a lot of things. Doesn't mean they're good, for us or for others. And it's not a hatred of sex, It's a belief that sex (and specific kinds of sex) can hinder ones spiritual walk.

    Difference between Science and Religion

    I know right? It's like Politics and Biology. Why can't they get along? I mean I know they are two completely different subjects but I'm just going to lump them together anyway. Cuz brain smarts iz kewl!

    If He were alive today, would Jesus vote?

    WWJD? I was always told to say that at school. But everytime I did, I could never come up with an answer. I honestly have no idea what Jesus would do. Something cool, I'm sure. But I personally think you should vote. If for no other reason than that you can.

    Christian women, would it help men to be less lustful if women's clothing didn't show so much of...

    I live in Australia, and it gets hot. Like, crazy hot. And when it gets hot, things that are considered skimpy are the only things most women wear because like I said, it's friggin hot. Or sometimes if you've been stupid and are running late (As I always am) and do a dry shave of your legs, even...

    The reasons I am celibate

    I've never really understood things like misogyny and misandry. We're all individuals, And I'm not sure if gender effects one's personality to any significant degree. I think it's partly irrational and partly fear, but I digress. But yeah, sex is kind of a bother to me. As in, I don't want to...

    Why Should I Believe In A God?

    The only times I ever think about Heaven or Hell is when someone else brings it up. Otherwise it has close to zero relevance to my life. I have no reasons to give you because my reasons are my own. So either you want to believe in God or you do not. And if you do, there are plenty of spiritual...

    Religion and Space

    The bible doesn't mention Aliens, so the beliefs Christians have regarding them are just speculation. Pretty much like the beliefs anyone else has about Aliens. Go figure.

    Question for Christians from a Godless Atheist

    Innocent people? That's amusing. And yes I'm totally fine with whatever God decides for all our lives, whether it's to live and die a farmer or a politician or just to make a really good point. Life is all you have, so you consider it more valuable than it actually is.

    Nice, heh. Well.. Enjoy your lemonade ;)

    Question for Christians from a Godless Atheist

    No worries. I hate it when people beat around the bush anyway. Say what you mean, mean what you say. And I'm sure you would choose your morality over God. That's why you're an Atheist, no? I'm pretty sure you'd choose a glass of lemonade over God.

    Question for Christians from a Godless Atheist

    Your love for your son is yours though. Most importantly, if that love is valued higher than your love for God. So no, you don't possess your son. But you do possess your feelings toward him. And it's God's right to ask you to give up the things He gave you. No, that's not the point. That's...

    Question for Christians from a Godless Atheist

    Ah, so you're only willing to entertain the hypothetical until you have nothing more to rebut with. Typical. Aye, there's the rub. My faith and your lack of. His daughter probably didn't need any more education, she was probably more faithful than her father and had no need of her life...

    Question for Christians from a Godless Atheist

    God lets people do terrible things every day. If you're going to blame God for letting him kill his daughter then you might as well blame God for 9/11 while you're at it. Everyone in the bible did bad things, made mistakes and peeved off God. And He let them do it, because it's how they...

    Question for Christians from a Godless Atheist

    God didn't ask it of him. And the bible warns against vows to God. He shouldn't have done it. Now what I don't get is why his daughter seemed more upset about her virginity than dying, but I digress.

    Question for Christians from a Godless Atheist

    Yes, you've got the gist of it. Except I don't really care for being more human, because humans are terrible creatures. And the point isn't killing your child, the point is whether or not you are willing to give up everything you have for God. Everything including your sense of morality, your...

    Ask a Catholic

    Mmkay. No one in the bible, from Moses to Paul, ever needed a Pope or a Priest or a Church for anything. So my question is: why do you?

    Question for Christians from a Godless Atheist

    You're assuming a lot of things about me. Things that haven't even been mentioned in this thread. My faith is my faith, but don't think I'm unquestioning. Quite the opposite really, I question everything. Jesus, Creation, The Law, all of it. He's God. What applies to us does not and should not...
