    OK so you don't believe(neither do I!)

    I lost the idea of god as the supreme,all knowing,omnipotent being when I was 13.Logic and facts ended my belief.

    Now I have an understanding I can live with.

    MYSELF.

    I am the only thing/person/being,that can make me feel anything.

    The god I was brought up to believe in just didn't hold water for me.Has there been any miracles that you can show evidence of,in the hear and now?How about this holy spirit they profess about? Do you feel it?I know I don't.

    So what is left?Life on life's terms.Living in a world that man makes and breaks.There is no being that is going to MAKE you FEEL better!If you want to believe that,well,go for it.I have tried,many times,I have never,ever had this being/spirit make ANYTHING happen,much help me to feel better,I had to do the work for that.

    If I could, don't you think I would ask for the feelings from my life to be better than they were?How about to ask for a better life,not for me,but for all those struggling everywhere,why not,this 'god' should show some kind of interest in those suffering,shouldn't it?Ain't going to happen.

    SO,what's left?You making the decisions for yourself.Every time life makes you down,you have to do the right thing to make it better.Faith won't do it,you have none,so faith can't do you any good.ALL decisions are what you make of them,they are your responsibility.This is a life without a god figure hanging over your head.

    Make sense?

    I still kind of believe, but not in a spirtual way, more of a, hmm, I don't know exactly what to call it, I believe in a god, I believe that jesus is my lord and savior, but that's pretty much it, no fear of hell or heaven any more, no fear of god judging me, no fear of being sinful, I guess I just see god as something that looks down on us, but doesn't judge us, nor does it interfear, I don't really see it in a religious veiw, more of a, I don't really know exactly, agnostic, I don't know, but now that the fealing of faith, and ghaving to allways be careful not to sin is gone, it almost seems like a large weight has been lifted, I stikll believe that jesus is my savior though, maybe because of my upbringing, but I don't exactly know why, I guess its just comferting, but knowing now that I don't have to worry about what happins when I die, it seems almost, intoxicating, I still have some worries though, but those can be worked out over time

    Maybe it's not the right faith for you. Who said that just because you don't believe in Yahweh The Christian Tribal God you would go to hell. It's a ridiculus assumtion. AS long as you live a good life and try your best in all you do if there is a heaven God will have to accept you. Although sometimes by doubting something we regain a stronger sense of faith in that thing. We are no longer following blindly but finding our own reason to follow.

    It may be just me but I find it a lot easier to read people when they're like that. Because your pity is putting up a front, what your actually feeling slips through the cracks... like when something you say or do is out of that tone pity gives you, it must be what you really are feeling. Like Sigmund Freud said "He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore."

    And, also, I know that sometimes it can be a little unnerving having someone understand you and your thoughts and feelings but it's a hell of a lot better than having no one care about them all.

    Like I'm going to be honest dude other then your internal problems and the chick thing you seem to have it pretty good. I don't know you so of course I can say for certain but even if there were some things going on you still have it pretty good. And I say that because you are living in an environment where you get to live to be happy unlike the millions and millions of people in the world who are just living to survive. Did you know that in Haiti there are children who are held up in slings because they cannot what so ever hold their own weight? They can hardly even move their limbs since their muscles are so weak and minuscule. They're stomaches are pertruding out so far it's unbelievable and because food is so low in the country from the constant hurricanes they have to resort to eating mud and grass patties just to stop the unbearable pain of hunger. And the terrible thing is they could just give up on life and die but they don't. They keep pushing because they want to live life and enjoy at least some of it and not have it end in the slow agonizing pain that it probably will.

    Like I know you're really set on your goals and in your mind right now and that's all you want to do but eventually your going to have to get a back up plan if you don't, because it actually seems like a lot of people don't. To give up just because you don't get exactly what you want in life, to be honest, is a bit selfish. And you're still only 15. I mean you could probably end up finding something else that you want to do more than the Blackwater thing.

    People who have gone to a darker part of life (like the aggression you have been feeling) when they get out of it they're actually enlightened by it. You might later on be thankful that you did go through that. Everything that happens in life is a learning experience, it teaches you something; makes you understand something. Regretting things is dumb and a waste of time when you can just take something positive from what happened.

    Be thankful for what you have. Be thankful of all the possibilities that you'll get to have in life. And when you get those experiences enjoy them to the fullest or else you just wasted a part of your life that could have been amazing.

    Worldly worries are a part of life,every one has them.

    So,if the idea of faith is at rest,what's next?The anger? The beating yourself up over your human shortcomings?What is it that is making life so uncomfortable?

    When do you want to do something about the anger issue?After the next incident or before it has a chance to become another month long regret?

    You know all of the people who write in your thread are willing to assist you in the discovery of this anger,and willing to hear your rants as well.Just don't reject them for trying.

    I hope you chose to look at it.I am more than willing to help you to see it for what it is.It won't be easy but in the end you will feel something I think you are looking for.PEACE.

    I think I'm beginning to control my anger, I met the girls friends today, ehhhhh, bunch of fagets, she's a scene girl, if you don't know what a scene girl is here's a link Urban Dictionary: scene girls
    scene girls - Google Image Search
    Well being that she's a scene girl she hangs out with emo guys, and they are annoying, all they talk about is myspace, bad music, and how much they don't like me, and I'm not kidding, they said it to her in front of my face, almost as if I wasn't there, they were saying I dress badley, I'm wearing jeans an acdc t shirt, a broun ll bean jacket with fuzzies on the inside, and steal toed boots, while they wear girl pants, scarves, and wool gloves with the fingers cut off, that's hot on a girl, not on guys
    But any ways, they were dissin my music, my hobbies
    This one guy was pointing at my shirt and pokin at it making fun of acdc, first, unless you don't want to get your @$$ kicked, don't be pokin people, wjhile saying bad things about them, second, never ever say bad things about ac dc, its part of the man code, don't this ac dc, ever, and eat bacon, that's the #1 rule, lol
    So he's pokin me, making fun of me, making fun of the best band ever, and I'm taking it like a b*tch, so I'm thinking to myself, pop him in the face, or don't pop him in the face, normally, id go with the first choice, but then I took some time to think
    If I pop him in the face, I may never beable to hook up with the girl I like, and if I pop him in the face, shell never go out with me, so I didn't punch him, but I did want him to stop, so I just go full metal jacket door gunner, YouTube - Full Metal Jacket- Get Some I start yellin at him, GET SOWME GET SOWME, GET SOWME BAYBEE, WHOOHOO, it scares him and his friends less, she's laughing, surprising, and he probubly won't mess with me no more
