I am curious about the LDS church and was interested in talking with someone, like a missionary, but I would prefer to communicate through email rather than in person.

Does anyone know how I can do this? Where to find a missionary or a member of the church to communicate with via email?

Thank you.

If I accepted jesus and routinely repent my sins on Sundays (at church), but the next Friday I sinned again, let's say I said "God Damn." Then I am in a car accident and I die, before I have repented for that on Sunday, am I doomed to hell?

Three times this has happened to me, I have said to someone that I do not believe in god and the person I told (who did believe in god) said "really? Why don't you just kill yourself now then? What do you have to live for?"

This, to me, was the most perplexing and unexpected response I could have ever gotten. Then I got the same response again, and later yet again.

Why do people who believe in god feel that way (and feel that it would not be wrong for someone to kill themself)?

I honestly do not understand how these people reached this conclusion and this has baffled me for years.

Does such a thing exist?

Alberto Gonzales said today that requiring warrants for the wiretapping program is a "definition of freedom [that is] superficial, and is itself a grave threat to the liberty and security of the American people."

I find this absurd considering the warrant requirement was created by the First Congress and is enshrined in the Bill of Rights.

How can limitations on government surveillance be a "grave threat" to freedom?

. . . are so judgmental of others for their beliefs and yet are so offended when others do not accept theirs e.g. saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

I really think that these people who believe and act like that are doing christianity a disservice and harming it severely.

I work with this girl and I've spoken with her once or twice before. She's lovely.

We work in different departments so there are no work related questions I could cring to her. Since it is at work I don't want to simply walk up and be obviously hitting on her, so how does one initiate a conversation under such circumstances? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
