This question was just for me to see your definition of course… I have an idea of my own.
Yep that is right.
Still that definition separates them sects to a certain extent.
The Pope is suposed to be a sort of descendent of S.Peter.That’s an example…
When interpretation is concerned beliefs can differ…
The Bible’s interpretation I mean…
Sure… specific beliefs can differ, but even amongst Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, etc., there is still the same, overriding belief in Jesus Christ as the son of God.
How you express/practice that belief is what differentiates the sects.
This discussion will unfortunately leed (sp?) nowhere but I’m tempted to argue…
Religion are beliefs.Even with only slightly different beliefs Lutrherans and Catholics are two religions.
“A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader”
Someone has been studying <.< Still you guys should pay attention to whats wrong with her, not how to under stand religions. She might commit suicide from the pain.
Sorry for all the off-topic 
But, the ability to improve her life rests in her own hands. It’s up to her friends to help her realize this. She needs to speak with someone who can help keep her focused, help her deal with the pain, and help her keep perspective. It is too difficult a task to handle on one’s own for most people, and it is too much of a burden for any one friend to carry.
My previous advice still stands. She needs to talk with a counselor or a therapist, and her friends need to guide her in that direction.
You want me to cry WD?I already said I’m procupied.But this isn’t life or death.I know a lot of people with the same problem…
Gehn, it’s not entirely fair for you to state whether something is life or death, when you hardly know the person involved. You may know someone in a similar situation, but different people react differently.
I’d like to say that it could be life or death… situations like these can lead to suicide.
Well no one here knows the person involved (except for Orta).
But from what Iv’e heard it doens’t sound liek life or death to me.
Basically I was criticising WD for sugesting I dind’t care about this…
If I had a solution to her problem I’d tell her…
But, the difference here is that just because it isn’t life or death to you, doesn’t mean it isn’t life or death to her.
And by you stating that you don’t think so, it feels like you are demeaning her situation, degrading its importance.
I’m using common sense.I think…
From what Ive heard her father didn’t seem violent…
No Gehn, you aren’t using common sense. This -is- the kind of thing that can lead people to suicide. Just because it wouldn’t lead -you- to suicide, it doesn’t mean it’s not going to lead Tika. This isn’t your situation, it’s hers, and so her ‘rules’ apply, if you get what I mean.
Oh.Actually I completely ruled out the possibility of suicide.
I was thinking about her father’s actions…
“From what I heard” he doebs’t strike me as a violent character.
I’m not saying her situation isn’t difficult tho.
Actually, Gehn, physical abuse rarely leads to suicide. It most often leads to abusive behavior towards others.
It’s psychological abuse and violence that is what is more dangerous in that respect. It makes a person’s world feel small and confined, and it makes the victim feel helpless to control their own life.
However, what Paine needs understand is that she doesn’t need to feel that way.
You missundertood me agehn 
When you guys mentioned the expression “life or death” I immediately tought of what her father could do to her, not what his actions could make her do…
That’s why I said that I dind’t think so.Her father didnt seem capable of such a thing.
You hardly made it clear.
I was suposing that maybe this situation dind’t depend solely on her.For it to be a serious problem anyways…
Well of course it doesn’t depend solely on her o.O
From the way you put it it does, in a way.Beeing literally “life or death” anyways.
I concentrate on her and her feelings because that’s all we can affect, unfortunately. We can’t change the way her father feels.
