Liberty University after-graduation, don't know what to do with my life - help spiritual / economic crisis?

I am graduating from college this June and I have no idea what to do with my life. At first I thought that I was going to be a religious counsellor but then I found out that there was no such market for that. Sometime during sophomore year I no longer believed in a God and became an atheist after I found out that I was gay and couldn't live up to this Christian hypocrisy of being straight. Now, with a 2.9 cummulative gpa, no honors, no faith in a god and no direction to go in life, I'm at a lost in what I should do

I have thought about teaching since my major was in Biology but I don't think University of Texas @ Houstin will look at my application and then there's always getting my credentials done at Liberty. The problem is I don't think that public schools would react too kindly when they see I did my undergrad & cred at Liberty

    My heart goes out to you for the turmoil that religion has brought into your life. At least you learned that Christianity is hypocrisy. So you got something out of it. The fact you are gay, there is no sin in that. I personally am a heterosexual, have been all my life.

    At one time, I looked down on Gays and Lesbians. I was raised a Christian and my head was filled with a lot of fear and non sense. I abandoned the Christian theories. And became an Agnostic, I believe there is a divine source in the Universe.

    God, I don't know about. What I do know about, is there is life after death, because I remember my last life, and that we have free will in this life to make it into whatever we choose to do. School teachers are being laid off 30% of them got pink slips here in my state.The economy is a factor for you. You could do a lot of work helping the disadvantaged, the sick and the poor. If you reviewed your life and realized, it wouldn't take all that much money to make you happy.

    Instead of evolving your bank account, you could evolve your Soul. After all that's all we take back with us when we leave. This is the dimension of learning, and sometimes sacrifices are apart of the learning process.

    You sound like you have many Blessings already.

    Since everyone else took apart the faults in your question, I'll show you one I don't think anyone may have noticed. You said that having 8% unemployment means we have 92% unemployment. However, I'll show you how that is actually a bad thing. 1. Unemployment rates are always artificially low, because that only counts the amount of people who actually file for unemployment. The real number is unknown. 2. The more the unemployment rises, the more the rest of the 92% you talk about have to pay in taxes to help them out. So these "lazy welfare" scammers your side has been going on about will increase as long as you are in denial. Higher unemployment=more taxes for you. Another point you stated was that you said Rahm and Obama wanted the crises to extend up to possibly 2011. You have no source for this I noted, and more than likely this is taken grossly out of context from wherever you've gotten it. Now, I will agree with you that the majority of people are being toyed with as you put it, but this happens with any president, but you're letting your fear get the better of you. I gave George W. Bush a chance, and he let me down. So I'm giving Obama a chance, and if he let's me down, rest assured, I'll be the first person to say something about it. To blindly follow a political party is the epitome of ignorance. To a point you stated earlier on, about a Socialist agenda I will say this- Will you be happy with children not having school lunches paid for them? Should a child have to suffer because their parents can't afford lunches for them. I had free lunches for most of my life-and both of my parents worked very hard. School Lunches being paid for is a Socialist idea-not a Capitlaistic one. Would you also be content with Senior Citizens having nothing to support themselves in their retirement, or a disabled person being thrown to the wolves because they were injured and are no longer deemed productive to society? Can you put yourself in the shoes of someone who has no choice but to rely on the Socialist programs to merely survive? Please be more considerate of the less fortunate-it's not always their fault you know.

    I feel for you and i'm sure you'll gain direction once you've sorted all your troubles out. I would go back to school at some other universty if possible and get more education from a good school. The one thing I wouldn't do at this point is lose hope; just pick your self up and try again. you'll find a way to move forwad if you try.

    Go back to school - but this time, go to a REAL school. And study what appeals to YOU. Nobody is going to take you seriously with a degree from Falwell's excuse for a university; you don't have a prayer with UT Houston with anything less than a Master's degree - from a REPUTABLE university.

    Just go back and start over, and don't tell ANYBODY that you've already been through a school. You're not dead yet.

    You "found out you were gay"?

    Who told you,you were gay?

    There are such things as Christian counselors son.You need to be delivered,and GOD is real I know from experience.Read John 3:1-5 and ACTS 2:38.

    A friend of mine has a close friend who was gay and GOD delivered him from it,the man has been married for yrs now but it took him seeking GOD for a long time to get that deliverance.

    GOD loves you and has a plan for your life.

    Even with a 2.9, why couldn't you take courses to get your teaching certificate?

    I had to look on the web to even be sure that Liberty had a Biology program; I hadn't known they did.

    If you have your B.S. in the sciences, go for it, no matter what college it came from.

    Just because you're gay; it doesn't mean you should add more to the pot.

    Be a gay Christian, every sin is created equal; so for your 1 sin, you're equal to if a pastor Gossips about somebody. You's both are sinning. We're all sinners. Get back to God; and let him lead you!

    Yeah...there is no market at all for a fake education. You should have figured that out before you went there.
