I do not believe in God-I am not intimidated by the threat of HELL eternal to believe in this creator of yours. But I despies any religion that THREATENS as a means to control. Now Christianity not only uses this THREAT but it also promises PARADISE for all of those that compky. Imagine Heaven if you will. Everybody just like you all praising Gods name in glorious Hallelujahs. Ever been BORED in Church. Well imagine CHURCh for all eternity because that is the way your Heaven is described. All day everyday praising your Creator. No sex no drinks, angels playing frisbee with their halo’s-OH BOY! really back to the Q:Do you believe in God because of what he has promised you or do you believe in him because you want to?
This is for my book The Dark Mysterians: Gathering of the Horsemen
Fourteen-year-old Joseph Whitman, suffering from amnesia and not able to remember his own mother’s name, struggles with a new city, new school, and new life. Upon the arrival to his second chance in life, Joseph befriends three other teenagers with extraordinary capabilities. But when Joseph learns of his destiny, to fulfill a position as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and aid in the destruction of Earth, his life starts spiraling out of control.
Filled with angels, demons, half breeds, witches, werewolves, vampires and more, this epic novel will put Joseph at his wit’s end and the edge of breaking point, leading up to the final climatic scene where he either realizes that the Apocalypse is an inevitable end, or commences himself into a full-fledge mental shutdown.
It’s kind of rough and misses the comedy, romance, and horror scenes that takes place in the book, but this is what I used to query for literary agents to consider my novel. Only one agency (WritersHouse) accepted it, and I think that’s kind of bad but also normal since their so busy and since I’m only 14. Is there any advice I can take?
I ask this because it adds on to the misandry that is accepted in today’s society. (An example of that misandry would be this link, although it is used to sell Dodge Rams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NpIMOMXAJY . Women may think it’s funny but if it was a man doing this, it would have to be taken off the air. (Guaranteed.)
My mother never did this. She would say good and bad things about my father and even herself but did explain to me why they broke up (which was a "dead-beats" decision done by him.). She didn’t try to turn my mind against my father, who I don’t really have a "relationship" with (by my own choosing for personal reasons) but respect because he is my father.
So let me ask, do you single mothers or remarried mothers make your ex husbands to be total devils and yourselves (even if you were the cause of the break-up) out to be angels or do you share both the good and bad between you both?
Because I wanted to know about mothers. Not about fathers at the moment since I know answers may be different by genders. If you want, you can beat me to making that question. Please stop making "comparative" answers.
unavailable. your father sounds like mine. I’m going to college now and trying to become a criminal lawyer….22, almost 23, years of age, and now he is calling me saying, "You don’t know how to call me?" What happened to the other 20 years of my life, lol…? Couldn’t pick up the phone then? When I graduated high school, he told my mother "You should make him go straight to work." My mother never talked bad about him either because he spoke for himself.
Good point, cope_acetic. It’s just that many single mothers have a lot of influence on their children at younger ages and they don’t know what questions to ask or how to think about the answers. It’s like, for example, if I had a child (Maybe 5 – 12) and I said, "Your mother is a selfish jerk and I’m glad I divorced her before she got a hold of my money.", I’d be pretty sure that my child would automatically take my side of the story without listening to hers.
Maria H, I know someone who has turned against her mother because her mother told her, when she was younger, to never speak to her father because her father would try to make himself look good and herself look bad. When she got older and confronted her father, her father told her the whole story and even admitted up to his cheating habits. She told the class (it was a religious studies class and we were just randomly talking before it started) that they had a tearful reunion and now she despises her mother since her mother said, "I told you not to talk to him."
when I get my wife and we walk before the Lord in heaven, and I PRIDE MYSELF BEFORE EVER ONE that has given me such torture that God does not allow marriage in heaven and he just breeds us. From everyone making me out to be evil to hold my wife forever, as they have marriages that never stick together and almost everyone I know have had more then one lover. AND PRIDE THEMSELFS TO BE LIKE THE ANGELS….I am going to have LOVE VENGEANCE ON EVERYONE. And hopefully the love my wife and I share that is created by God is a jealously of everyone that desires the world.
they make me doubt my self and taunt my virginity. Bring me OTHER BIBLES, when i say God shows me In KJV, if God can not show me in this bible back off. I do not need you going thew your bibles to teach me your ways. They act as if they have something, but in reality they are just dying. Clapping their hands saying they are saved by grace, saying I am not dying, "never" listing to me and what I talk about. My family in christ have made me so angry. You better hope this is all demon possession christians and all dead faith, as God is SILENT TO ME for yrs on this topic. Well not with the KJV and my heart and with my faith it says WAIT.
how are you something if you have nothing Christan’s? if heaven is not in your ways?You are given NEW LIFE’S in heaven and this one is dead.
What would happen if you found yourself dead?
Your heart just stopped beating, your spirit rises out of your body and you then seen into the realm of the spiritual world but it wasn’t Angels or a light at the end of a tunnel but what you saw were two beings, they were both laughing and they told you to come with them..You followed them down this long hallway and you didn’t know where they were leading you, now being hurried, they aren’t laughing any longer, instead, they are getting hateful..they start pulling you faster and faster, they begin to cuss and swear and mocking you. You try to pull back but to no avail, you start fighting them but they are more stronger. They begin screaming at you, pushing you, hitting you until at last, you break free only to fall into a bottomless pit of watery flames. You yourself start yelling, "OH, MY GOD, I AM REALLY HERE! i’M IN HELL! OH NO GOD! The reality of the the flames of hell engulf your very soul. No matter which way you turn, no matter which way you move, you cannot escape. The very air you breath is nothing but fiery flames and you are tormented.The flames grow hotter and hotter. There is no water to cool your tongue. There is no shelter to swim to, no place of rest. You find the first instance you are there, it is a never ending cycle of burning, misery and pain. It was never nothing you had ever experienced before. You hear people around you crying and screaming. "God I AM SORRY! HAVE MERCY! You hear voices that sound like people you once knew but in your own torments it is not important. You try to think, you then recall a time when a man approached you telling you of a man named Jesus, OH GOD THE BURNING, you continue to recall that the man was telling you have to be saved, PLEASE GOD HELP ME! the man voice become much clearer telling how much Jesus loves you..Yet You began rebuking him. "There is No God! Christianity is for Fools! That’s it! JESUS! HELP ME! JESUS HAVE MERCY! But you hear nothing.. No one comes to your resue! The words are now echoing in your memory…"There is no God…Christianity is for fools! There is no God! PLEASE GOD NO! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING TO ME! I was a good person, so if I didn’t believe in Jesus. I didn’t kill no one. I didn’t rob banks. So what if I drank? My marriage was on the rocks anyway, I needed a companion even if it was only for one night. I wasn’t hurting no one but myself! OH< Jesus, Please get me out of here!! Again, NO ANSWER! The flames, the misery continues, the crys, the anguish of the soul never ending, never a way out. There is no clocks, there is no time…Ever!
The time is now…Before you die to receive Mercy…To receive Christ…To escape everlasting torment and damnation. Hell was not created for mankind but you can willfully go there by dying and dying defiled by sin. Jesus says, He that believes in me, shall never see death….Don’t you think it’s TIME?
