Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Differences between the major religions: 3 of 23
To me recognizing the differences in the major religions is like trying to find a piece of clothing that fits. We all have a common need and that is covering ourselves, except if you are comparing to an atheist and then they would go naked.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Why Christians cannot earn heaven as a reward: 4 of 26
Christians cannot earn heaven as a reward because it wasn't promised. Christians cannot earn anything that is of God because none of what we can do is good enough to please God.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Should Christians have to work on Sunday?: 3 of 13
Should Christians "have" to work on Sunday? I don't think anyone should "have" to work all seven days of the week, but some choose to.

Health & Fitness > Depression Self-help steps toward overcoming depression: 8 of 24
I for one know that a person cannot overcome depression on their own. Resolving problems start with recognizing in yourself what issues are controlling you, but many times getting the answers to solving the problems have to and need help from others outside yourself.
