If you have stopped being an evangelical, have you remained a Christian?

I'm interested in hearing from people who formerly considered themselves evangelicals but now have stopped. What caused you to leave the evangelical fold, and has it caused you to leave Christianity as well? Examples might be a better understanding of the historical roots of Christianity in Judaism and how the faith has developed over the past 2,000 years; a different understanding of the Bible as a sacred text; frustration with the evangelical church and its most prominent voices; or some other sort of natural growth. I'm not looking for hostile answers, but honest ones. Thanks.

I cant stop lying? Help?!?!?

Hey Jake. You've been lying for such a long time that you are so used to it. It's a habit now, and that's why you can't stop. What u need to do is accept who you are and be proud of yourself, once you do that you won't have to lie to anyone. Don't worry about people accepting you, if they love you it doesn't matter who you are and if they don't accept you, well, then they weren't worth your time to begin with. Hope this helped.

Whats the stupidest thing a teacher has ever said to you?

So it was my last day of math cl before school was out and I forgot to bring in a packet for mid terms so I could get extra points since I was running out of the house because I was already late to school and I could get in deep trouble if I did not show up or if I was late for midterms. At the end of cl my teacher came around and collected the packets being it was the last day of that cl I really did not put much thought into it thinking it was really that big of a deal since I pretty much aced the midterm...I was dead wrong. My teacher pulled me out of the room to explain why I did not have it I told him I was running late which he knew about since my friend texted me and asked me where I was as my brother and I pulled into the parking lot. He told me I manipulated him the whole year I was in shock that he felt that way. But I found even more shocking he would say that to a 14 year old student that has ped in her work. WAUG?

I'm having problems with connecting on my laptop (to the Internet )?

So, on my laptop (which I keep very clear of any viruses by the way) I can't connect to any websites besides Gmail. I don't know why this is, since it is connected to wifi. I have windows 7 on a very new laptop (only been around a few months). When I try to connect it brings up "Internet explorer cannot displaythe webpage." and when I click on the troubleshooter it tells me "the remote device resource won't accept the connection." it's telling me that tha means the webpage isnt set up to receive signals? So basically, every webpage i tryis not able to recieve signals from me except gmail. I have tried restarting the computer (which only works for about fifteen minutes before it goes back to not working), I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting to the wifi, disconnecting the power cable to the router and reconnecting it about 30 seconds later. None of this works. Also, every once In a while a "backdoor" virus shows up in windows defender. I keep getting rid of it and reappears. It hasn't shown up in a bit, but it keeps coming back. Does this have anything to do with it? I have webroot security software, and it works quite well. I keep scanning and it keeps coming up with nothing. Any suggestions? Sorry for the long explanation. and any weird errors that might be going on in it, I'm on my iPod and it always changes things oddly (also it's hard to type). Anyway, if you can help me thank you so much!! Please, I really want to be able to use my Internet on my laptop again. Any thoughts on the weird virus thing btw? Thank you!!

How do evangelicals say, "Not a Christian" when they don't like a person?

What Would You Rate This Computer For Middle-High End Gaming?

You should consider buying an AMD dual-core or quad-core processor as games only use up to four processing cores (and most modern games will only utilize two or three cores). I would not suggest a Phenom II X6 or an Intel Core i7 processor because both are overkill for gaming. I would suggest buying a Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition which is much cheaper than the Phenom II X6 1090T. You can also overclock the Phenom II 955 Black Edition more easily than AMD processors that are not Black Edition chips because it has an unlocked clock multiplier. With the money you save, you can buy a faster graphics card, such as the AMD Radeon HD 5870 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570.

Looking for books online?

I am wanting to buy some specific books online, I was wanting to know if there was any cheap, older, used, new book websites, where you can buy books and have them mail to you. When I say old I mean from 1985+, the books are mainly romance, like Johanna Lindsey, Cie Edwards, and Diana Palmer. I don't mind paying full price for new books, but if there is a cheap place online to go for older books that would be great. Any suggestions? Or website, besides Amazon?
