It's frustrating at times, but it's also an opportunity. \n\nWhy would they be here if on some level they weren't searching for something?\n\nAnd if they really are just making fun because they can, it sort of undermines the whole "atheists are more moral than Christians" angle they're working.\n\nLet the wheat and the tares grow up together, right?

I don't feel alone!!!  :D\n\nBut yes, we are always linked/connected to someone or SOMETHING, and people feel alone. There you can see that you can have everything in life, but if you don't have someone to share it with, you become miserable.

Generally people can’t get satisfied with what they got...\nSo they feel what has gone was better than the present

No-one feels great when they are hurting and no-one seems to notice or care.  What I learned many many years later is that I need to be responsible for my feelings and not let others rule how I feel.  If I am hurt, what is it that I need and how do I get that need met in a positive way.  Once I started focusing on what I needed in a positive way, the chances of my really being hurt by others rarely came up for me.

because that's what is in THEIR head, people tend to think about others what they really mean about themselvs. when they say that , they are saying : do I really love him/her. it's their question and their thought about what they feel. byron katie has done some interesting work on this subject, I think her site is www.thework.com    take a peek there it is really enlightening.

People have always used 'God' as a reason to be cruel.  It's just a way of making others small so you can feel big.  You have to make someone else so wrong in order to feel that you actually exist, or at least so you don't feel totally insignificant.  I don't know if you can give an answer to why.  It just is that way, people are hurt and angry and who knows what experiences they have had with so called 'religion'.  Why take it personally?  It's not about you.

I agree with you.  The world has come to a place where selfishness and "looking out for number 1" is highly encouraged, where caring about others, or putting someone else first, is totally denounced.  I think, overall, people don't want to experience even the least bit of discomfort these days, so they are constantly trying to make themselves happy, comfortable, entertained, etc.\n\nI have never felt more fulfilled in life then when I volunteer to help others.  You could say I'm really doing it for me, to feel good, but I don't think it's selfish, even if it is for me, because there are pleanty of other things I could be doing "for me" than helping other people.  I volunteer at a counsiling center, and at a half-way house.  It's awesome!!!

Sometimes you can feel as if you are being cuddled or embraced by God.  Often it is when you are most low, and I think new Christians receive this more than Christians that have been around for a while.  It has the effect of strengthening and encouraging you,

All feelings are true:  the questions are whether the feelings are based upon reality or misconceptions; and whether the feelings express a good desire or one to be avoided.\n\nThis is where most people trip themselves up.  Feelings are not thoughts or facts; but they are still reactions to facts, so if you don't have your facts straight (always a risk when dealing with other people,) you may be having feelings that you wouldn't even have if you knew the truth.\n\nAnd, just because you feel something doesn't mean it's right to act on it.  I may feel very attracted to a married acquaintance, but it would still be profoundly wrong to act on those feelings.  I may feel a desire to strangle some idiot who deserves it, but we all know better than to act on such feelings.  Unfortunately, the majority of desires are not so starkly right or wrong.

People learn what they live.  If they were raised in a loving environment, chances are they will be loving.  If they have been kicked around, told they were worthless, never given a kind or positive word, chances are they feel like they are worthless, and continue to hear the ringing in their heads that they will never amount to anything.  So they tend to be the angry sort.  They are afraid to get close to anyone for fear that they are not good enough, or that the person they get close to will not stick around.  Why should they expect them to, No one else did.

Because they in someway think they are helping you. Most people can not famthom something that doesn't or is happening to them. Stop explaining why and just say don't feel like it today, but thanks.............

Maybe they are just not doing it right. You should feel something if there is no feeling at all then see a Dr.

Awesome Amandy, I couldn't agree with you more.  There is a lot of ignorance in the air, and a lot of unwarranted assumptions.  Just because something/someone isn't understood doesn't mean people should assume based on there limited experience what is going on so that they can comfortably fit it into their understanding and further encourage their already misguided ego.  People should be able to look at a person and see that person as a secular human being.  Every culture has different aspects that make it unique and special, as long as you don't hurt or infringe on other human beings, you shouldn't be judged.  \n\nYou are not alone, I think I needed to say that as well, that does feel good to get off the chest.

By posing it as a morality issue, they are really only asking what people think about it.  They are checking their own feelings with the feelings of others, because it is oftentimes dangerous to express feelings which deviate substantial for the common viewpoint.  Understanding and empathizing with social norms allows one's perspective to be framed in acceptable ways.\n\nThey are also evaluating the basis for social norms for predictability and for consistency, while ensuring that their own basis is more firmly grounded.  They are looking for reasons to believe that others are rational in believing things which seem so irrational.\n\nInstead of asking "Is this good or bad .." questions, I tend to ask, "How do you feel about .. " or "Why do you feel [a certain way] .. " questions.  Before Yahoo Answers, I really didn't understand society in general, but now thanks to this wonderful service and good people, I'm starting to see some rationality and understand the popular basis for traditions and common practices and understandings; not that I agree with them, but at least now I can understand them.\n\nAnd then there are those who are just trying to make a statement and aren't teachable at all: Making statements appear as questions, dress wolves in sheep's clothing.

Please, forgive me if what I am going to say hurt your feelings. I am only trying to answer the many things you are wondering about and that, it seems to me, confuse you. We live in a very chaotic world and it is no wonder that you feel the way you do. But I think that there are many people, all over the USA, that are doing just that; trying to explain to the concerned citizen the kind of world we live in. There are many excelent publications and web sites where a concerned citizen can find all the information he or she wants in order to have a better understanding of whatever situation he or she feels puzzled by. It behooves all of us to try to find the "truth" about anything that might attract our attention or worry us, or whatever.\nSome people try to explain what is really happening, in any realm or situation, either because they are professional communicators, or teachers, or specialists in the subjects or voluntarily because they want to share their expertise with the common folk. But it is we who have to find by ourselves that elusive truth that it is out there.\nLess television and more good reading should be our motto.\nKeep reading!
