(a church teacher of mine used an analogy about nobody wanting chewed gum.)

I'm sorry this happened to you. I am religious but this should never be used. Christianity is supposed to be about forgiveness and turning away from your past, and using this sorts of language degrades people and makes them feel as if they would be perpetually useless.

If you have a smartphone, download the game "Ingress", made by Google. There are several locations tagged in the game in McMurdo, and there is a mission/quest there. It's kind of like geocaching on your phone except with teams.

(Also, pick green/Enlightened).

what would you say to those who claim that there is no such thing as a vocation to the single life?

If there are Catholics saying this I don't see how they reconcile that with the existence of monks, nuns, etc. Truly confusing.

Highly interested in this one as well.

This is pretty much how I feel. Help the Kurds and the Christians out, the rest of them are just going to keep fighting until the end of their days.
