"The mark of an immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one." -
Wilhelm Stekel
quote: considering your strong strong faith, i am just wondering why suicide was even the least bit acceptable for you?
At that point all I had was based on upbringing and no real faith at all. Faith is born out of experience not education. It wasn't until after that point that I really found faith in anything.

God wants our availability more than our ability.
"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"
Because I've asked and the Christian God has been the only deity to ever respond. That would indicate that He is if nothing else at least more powerful than the other gods.
"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"
Because it would be be a very weak god who would appear under false pretenses. If it was the god of Muslims then why would he be ashamed to admit who he really is?
Besides each god has defining points and the God of my experience is the God of the Bible
"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"
I hope you're joking. Nothing in what he said indicates a sign of a Christian God over others, and I doubt he has details untold that would indicate such either.

"Besides each god has defining points and the God of my experience is the God of the Bible"
sure i can believe that BUT that still doesn't prove that the Christian god is the real god because countless others have had religious experiences pointing them to another God. What makes one religious experience right and all the others wrong? i still don't think personal experience no matter how amazing it might be is grounds for saying that the Christian god is the real god
"Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth."
it makes sense cause shes 14... no one should be tryingto prove their god thye believe in is better than any other gods. its not a competetion and just the fact that you found a god should make you content
There is nothing that can convice anyone of anything. No words spoken by anyone here can change anybody's mind. The point is to put forth ideas and then see how they manifest themselves.
