HiFaith is all about a relationship with God. You will know and feel his presence if you read his word and keep close to the living God.Pray and Read the bible to get to know God. And everything happens for a reason for good. Trust me you will see it maybe in 100 years time maybe in 1 year

You don't need religion to be a happy person.

if your bring religion into a situation like this your just going to prelong grief and make everything a lot harderreality is cancer is just a part of life.. if you can accept it and understand its not part of a fictional characters grand scheme but just bad luck youll have a hard time getting over itits never easy to loose someone, so just be by her side and remember the best timesand please, dont believe in relgion it encourages hate and ignorance, a 13 year old should be part of the new generation of smart non religious people

my mom died when i was 5. at the funeral i didnt shed a tear but every night after that i kept crying. my dad kept coming to me to console me. but in truth, no matter how old i got i never blamed God for it. when i was little i would pray to God to give her messages. when my dad became a drunk from this and he became violent i didnt hate God. when i was sent to a lockdown facility for troubled teens, that is when i questioned, but i pulled out and stronger in my belief. then my dad cheated on my step mom. i still didnt hate God. i got heat exhaustion which hurt more than anything i had ever felt. i still loved him. i felt pain and misery but i would still die for God.it is true, he is a cruel God, he does let people die, there are murderers and rapists. there is war and famine. but there is also beauty beyond belief. i was on top of a large cliff in utah that over looked a small city. i could hear trash trucks, dogs barking, as well as every other sound. you may not see beauty in that since you see it everyday. but seeing that view was amazing. all that matters is that we add to the beauty.no one wants to die, i am terrified that i will die before i make something of myself. what would you rather believe, you mom is going to die but spend eternity in a vast nothingness or in hell, or would you want her to go to heaven then be able to meet her there when your time has come. God does allow pain, but with out pain what would this world be like. it would be so dull. we would be like robots. mindless zombies eating drinking then sleeping day after day. i am not saying that death is easy or watching as some one dies is easy, but as long as you believe that they are going to heaven then you will know that you can still talk to them or reach them again.the only question is, is you mom a Christian? i know some people that on their dads death bed they started praising God. not because he was dying but because he was still alive in Gods hands.

My answer probably won't satisfy you and will be thumbed down into obscurity, but I will try to explain what makes me keep my faith. I am a Catholic-Christian - a convert to be precise. My parents divorced when I was 2, I suffer from the genetic inheritance of depression and anxiety, recently I lost my aunt to a brain tumour and my grandfather to a stroke - all of which happened within months of each other. At one point in my depression, I nearly reached the point of giving up and committing suicide. Had I not had my faith and family in this time, I would surely be dead today.But what makes me continue to hold the faith I have, to believe in a God? I don't know other than it makes sense. In the darkest time of my life, there are two verses that have always popped into my head:"And said: Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: as it hath pleased the Lord so is it done: blessed be the name of the Lord." (Job 1:21)"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety." (1 Timothy 1:7)I do not know why some people suffer from diseases like brain tumours and strokes, why these things seem to strike good people and not bad, rotten bastards who live on to do more bad things. My faith isn't based off the Bible, but is enhanced by it. I am a part of a Church that has witnessed the worst of humanity - many times within its own body - and still lives to proclaim God. It's not dependent solely on the Bible, but also upon sacred Tradition and near 2,000 years of men and women who have seen the great and foul of mankind, and yet still found God amongst it all. I can't offer you a satisfactory response for your mother's illness - I cannot say I don't have my doubts at times. But at the end of the day, the only consistent thing I have is my faith, and that there is a God, and that nothing that happens is without purpose.With my depression and anxiety, I was forced to face myself and the problems I refused to acknowledge, that had I not it would have destroyed me in the end. With my parents divorce, I gained a true father and family with my step-dad. With the death of my aunt, she showed me the strength of faith - she never asked 'why me', but rather used her last time to witness to others - her family, her friends, and even her doctors and ministers. With the death of my grandfather, whom I loved as a father and taught me so much, he taught me one last thing and that was how to die. There is purpose in the great and the minutiae, a cause behind the cause, a movement behind the movement, a cell within the cell. Faith is my greatest treasure, and it is a difficult one to keep in this world.I'm sorry I cannot truly answer things for you, I really wish I could. I can only tell you about myself, and pray that in some small way there may be something there to help you. Know that I will keep you, your mother, and the rest of your family in my prayers. I don't know of how much consolation this will be to you, but know it anyway.God love you and His peace be upon you.

there is no god, so enjoy every minute you have. and evolution is true but has nothing to do with atheism.

If you're 13 years old, I'm Albert Einstien. You are without a doubt, the most well spoken 13 year old I've ever seen. Most 6th, 7th and 8th graders don't have a clue. Where did you find the time to studyEvolution, Atheism and Religion ? While I feel for you, I also lost my mother at a young age, you need to understand that death is a part of life, and while her passing will be hard on you, you need to remember all of the good things that your mother may have done for you, all of the understanding and wisdom that she gave, when you needed it. When she does pass, look on her with fond memories. and always remember that she loved you. While I never lost my faith, I do believe in something bigger than ourselves, the need to express so called devotion in a house of worship, left me long ago. Religion is what you make of it.

Christians believe that Gos is powerful and so he can become human as well. There are some Christians who don't believe in "Trinity" but others believe. The critical difference between Jesus teachings and the Trinitarian formula lies in elevating Jesus to divine statusa status Jesus denies in the gospels:Why do you call me good: No one is good but One, that is, God. (Matthew 9:17,Mark 10-18, and Luke 18:19)My Father is greater than I. (John 14:28)I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things. (John 8:28)Most assuredly, I say to you, the son can do nothing of himself (John 5:19)But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent me. (John 7:29)He who rejects me rejects Him who sent me. (Luke 10:16)But now I go away to Him who sent me (John 16:5)Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but His who sent me. (John 7:16)For I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me gave me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. (John 12:49)What does Pauline theology say? That Jesus is a partner in divinity, God incarnate. So whom should a person believe? If Jesus, then lets hear what else he might have to say:The first of all the commandments is: Hear O Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (Mark 12:29)But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Mark 13:32)You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve. (Luke 4:8)I can of myself do nothing I do not seek my own will but the will of the Father who sent me. (John 5:30)For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him who sent me. (John 6:38)My doctrine is not mine, but His who sent me. (John 7:16)What do you think about the verses mentioned above? Now lets see what is mentioned in the Quran about Jesus (peace be upon him).Quran: Chapter- Four (An-Nisa)O people of the Book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an Messenger of Allah and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is One Allah: glory be to him: (for Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. Verse:171Christ disdaineth not to serve and worship Allah, nor do the angels, those nearest (to Allah): those who disdain His worship and are arrogant? He will gather them all together unto Himself to (answer). Verse:172But to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, He will give their (due) rewards,? and more, out of His bounty: but those who are disdainful and arrogant He will punish with a grievous penalty; nor will they find, besides Allah, any to protect or help them. Verse:173O mankind! verily there hath come to you a convincing proof from your Lord: for We have sent unto you a light (that is) manifest. Verse:174Then those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him,? soon will He admit them to Mercy and Grace from Himself and guide them to Himself by a straight Way. Verse:175Still we have time to think about it and do more research by ourselves before death comes to know the truth.Does it make any sense that I'm a Christian as because my parents are Christians? It means that I'm following this religion blindly and I know very little about Christianity when I go to the church, that's it.If we do not study more and only keep saying that Jesus is Lord and if Jesus is not God but a messenger of God then what we are doing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYMKQKSV0bY&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW99U4JWNEc&feature=channel

I send my deepest condolences to your mom, there is a reason why this is happening to your mom; I may not know why but God knows. Our human minds cannot comprehend the way the Lord thinks but that is because He is Wiser and smarter than us. Even if the bible was based 2000 years ago aren't the people same now and before? Still the same sinful people, but actually we are more fortunate that Jesus has died for us.Why don't you want to die?? Yes our PHYSICAL body will rot but our spirits will spend eternity in Heaven with God (for people who have accepted Jesus).Honestly, losing my faith would be worse than dying or getting severely ill or anything else because it will separate me from my God.Read the bible and meditate on it...Pray to Jesus and He will surely help you God bless!!I am twelve years old, by the way.
