I Feel Like God Is Calling Me To Be A Minister. Which Is Pretty Weird, Because I’m Not Affiliated With Anyone.?


I don’t know what to do! For these past few months at night, while I’m listening to the BBC, as I will do at home, because I like schedules, and suddenly the urge to convert to christianity will overcome me.
As far as I’m able to deduce, it is possible that as opposed to pressing a Carrier in law, I am to forgo law school and attend seminary instead.
I love history and I am a political science major. I know next to nothing about religion.
When I was a little younger, like 17, I wanted to be a minister. My nickname was the most high reverend and I would do funny things like bless people at debate tournaments. Now 7 years later I find myself wanting to embrace god again. The only reason I don’t do that is because I wouldn’t be sure what to do the next day. As in ‘what are the rules I would follow?” Type thing. I also have no social support, at all, because I’ve lost all of my friends since I was 17. I live with my parents and am a 2.5 gpa student, not spectacular. Also, I’m very shy and I”m not so sure what kind of a minister I would make because I’m not good in group settings Although I am a master orator. So, in conclusion, I don’t know is this the normal process by which god calls one to the ministry? What do I do next? Why would god call me?

How Important Is The Religious Affiliation Of A College?


I was born and raised Jewish, and my family goes to a Reform temple. We aren’t very religious but I’ve found myself becoming more involved in my temple as I’ve gotten older. I don’t plan on being extremely observant in college but I’d like to have the option of going to temple.
I’m a junior in high school so I’ve been looking at colleges. I’ve been discounting a lot of colleges, both public and private, on the basis of religious affiliations.
Obviously Judaism is a minority religion in the U.S., so I haven’t found many “Jewish” schools. Should I still look at schools affiliated with Christianity or am I doing the right thing? I’m not really sure how much of an impact a religion will have on the college and campus life.
Thank you!

I Like The Sound Of “the Reverend Mr. Pink”.” Can I Just Go Ahead And Call Myself That?


It seems like if I want to have any real success in promoting my own self-serving agenda, I need to affiliate myself with an important-sounding cause. Should I maybe claim to be a Christian and appoint myself the head of a church? Because there are so many little sub-factions and stuff within the church, no one really knows what all Christianity entails anymore. So even if they call me out, I can just dismiss them as infidels and Minions of the Adversary.
y’all see the parallel now? isn’t “feminism” (descriptive, not prescriptive) getting a little cultish?

If It Is Logical To Use Al-qaeda And Hamas As Representatives Of Islam?


Keep in mind that Islam is a religion with over 1 BILLION followers. Would it then be equally logical to use KKK, as representatives of Christianity
This just demonstrates, among many other examples, the incredible stupidity of the right. There are extremists in every faith, but righties are so monumentally stupid that they think this not only does not applies to Christianity, but also that the vast majority of Muslims are not in, nor affiliated with those groups
