Something that needs to be said...

[Neurosis]

Apparently I don't need to say anything, since mine was just an opinion. That you are stupid.

Making a reference to past when you ignored me and others. So I will hence ignore now and not hijack.

Wow, you seem to hold a grudge because I "ignored" you on a forum (keep in mind, there could have been reasons why I didn't respond to your posts). Well, I'm sorry for ignoring you at some unknown point in time...but calling other people names, especially when they haven't done/said anything to you is just plain rude.

Neurosis- I completely agree with you. God told many men in the Bible to kill and committed mass genocide multiple times. He even punished some for letting women and children escape alive! Here's the question to ask Christians:

Would you kill someone if God told you to do so?

Here's a question to ask you:

Why do you care?

If you're a believer, believe. If not, don't. It's that simple. Who cares about the sentiments of others regarding this topic?

I care because people kill others, persecute women, and persecute gays all in the name of religion.

Don't let people on here pick on you. I agree wholeheartedly with what you said. Faith has gotten me so far in life and leaving my fears/worries with God has made things much easier in all aspects of life. I hope you continue to do the same and I wish you the best of luck.

Here's the deal. I have my MCAT in two weeks. Every now and then I find myself stressing about it and thinking, "Oh gee wiz, I gotta do good on this thing, and when I get that score of X I'll be golden." And the thing is, I've done that with tests and other things I've needed to get done in the past, but I'm not golden... there is always something else. Obviously the MCAT is something I need to crush to continue on with my education, and I'm putting in a major effort into it, but luckily I've realized that life isn't the next test grade, or the next email that is an interview invite. I will never find contentment in that. Because, well, we always want more. Want what we can't have, whether that be a grade, med school, a significant other, or a butt load of money. Personally, I've found contentment in knowing Jesus and the love He offers. I know that might sound weird, stupid, neurotic, or maybe awesome to some of you, but like I said it is personally how I feel about life. I just want to point out to those who are stressed and going crazy over that next grade, or that acceptance, or whatever it may be, don't. It's ok to be concerned and to put in ALOT of effort, but don't make that the end all of your life.

I think that's all.

Feel free to PM me if you ever need to rant about anything.

Much love.

You'll be going more crazy and more stressed if you blow off something important (like the MCAT, a secondary invite, or an interview invite) and try to justify it by saying you "will never find contenment" in doing well or receiving them.

Scoring well on the MCAT will make you content, if only for a few moments. You're right that we'll always want more. Perhaps right now you want 100 things; a good MCAT score among them. If you get that score, now you have 1 more thing that you wanted. Work hard and do well in everything and you'll have more opportunities to reach your goals.

I'm pretty much agnostic at this point in my life, but I grew up catholic and I remember learning a bible verse that said "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." Perhaps I learned it out of context, but I think it's legit.

People also do countless positive things in the name of religion.
