#420 I had a gay roommate freshman year and I didn't treat him right. He came out to me one day after I straight up asked if he was a faggot (terrible language, and terrible way of bringing it up). I just want to apologize for people like me who claim to be Christians but treat you worse than anyone with no faith at all. Or for people who spend more time trying to change you instead of just being a friend. I wanted my friends to not think I was less heterosexual or something stupid because I lived with a gay guy, so I would make fun of him continuously. I gave him a terrible place to come back to. I get a lump in my throat when I read of people committing suicide because of things really similar to what I did. Honestly, I'm not gay, so I don't know what to believe. I have a really hard time believing it's okay, but I also never went through it. The last status about someone going through it tore me up. It's really easy to dismiss it as wrong and go on with my life, but your lives are always changed. I want to get involved somehow sharing love to people in similar situations instead of the hate I once showed, but I don't know if anyone would want me to since I'm still confused about it being a sin or not (I'm really sorry, I still have no idea what to believe). I realized there are a lot of people on here that can probably give me some sort of advice (or advice not to get involved). I just don't know what to do except feel guilty.

#419 I'm a freshman and I've seen neither hide nor hair of parties at ORU so far. I'm here to learn and build a future, but I also want to have a weekend life. I want to experience ALL of college, academic, dorm, and debauchery alike. If I may make this joke--I want to be a whole person. So, the purpose of this confession is to ask advice. Who do I need to know, where do I need to be, etc.? I have connections to people that will buy me drinks, if that helps any.
Sincerely,
A Freshman Girl.

#418 This is more of a cry for help than a confession. Im new to ORU, was raised in a charismatic church, but I have grown distant from the faith as so many people emphasize works over Gods grace. I see alot of hypocrisy here. I'm not sure what I believe in anymore(or if I believe in God), but I need a church that is open and willing to accept those with doubt or serious questions. I dont want "just have faith" BS, ppl to read me scripture, hear sermons about being a leader, loud rock band worship or someone anointing me with oil and all that weird stuff. I just want real, INTELLECTUAL people who love God and others. Church suggestions? I'm tired of holding this in. (PLEASE don't mention some big cliche church like Victory or COTM).

#417 I admit that I, unlike so many other golden eagles, really don't want a serious committed relationship that will lead to a ring by spring. Honestly, I really want someone to makeout with, do crazy things with, drink and fuck a lot without strings attached. But as I am a senior and I don't get out much anymore, it seems meeting someone who wouldn't mind the same thing is impossible here. This place is very sexually frustrating. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am a girl.....

#416 I used to be an ORU professor. I so detested going to chapel services, especially during the Richard Roberts years when you were almost guaranteed to hear crazy talk in biblical proportions. But I really resented it when Richard made us attend those tedious evening "honor code" chapels. After hypocritically)moralizing he would lead us in a zombie-like group recitation of the honor code. As a secret protest, as soon as I got home from the service I would pour an alcoholic beverage and ritually break the code. I loved that part of the evening! I suspect Richard was doing the same thing.

#515 Non-anonymous confession: I posted a couple of fake confessions, intending them to be light-hearted jokes. Recently I saw some pretty weighty confessions and then I felt a little sick to my stomach for what I had put. My posts weren't mean or intended to hurt anyone, but they all weren't necessarily in good taste. This place needs to be treated with a little sensitivity - something I failed to do. I apologize. - John Reimer (if you don't believe it's me, text or inbox me)

#514 I got married three years ago and I'm very grateful that I didn't wait until marriage. On my wedding night, my husband looked at me and said: "I'm exhausted, we'll have to do a quickie." I agreed. I could barely hold my eyes open. We laughed about how much it would suck if it was our first night ever. 1/4th of marriages aren't consummated on their wedding night since the wedding is so utterly exhausting. I dated him for almost five years and couldn't imagine if I spent the whole time afraid of "how far is too far" and afraid of seeing him naked. Honestly, I would probably not be married to the Godly man I fell in love with today if it wasn't for our sex. the MARRIAGE is important to focus on, not your genitalia. It's like people are worshipping their virginity now. Sex is good, but if your relationship is going downhill because you keep trying to keep away from "going too far" you're just going to destroy the relationship. But if it's not and your relationship doesn't involve any intimacy, then sex can probably do more harm than good and you should just wait until marriage. It's different for everyone. It's much worse to get divorced than it is to rush into marriage with someone you dated for all of seven months to avoid "stumbling." Plus, your first time is much better when it's spontaneous and not planned out on an actual specific date and time with a specific outfit. How awkward. I also wanted to enjoy a lot of sex on my honeymoon. If it was my first time, I wouldn't be able to do much because my lady bits would be way too sensitive, and most girls would agree with me on that. You can say "what if you got pregnant?" But I don't want a baby now, either. Signing a marriage certificate doesn't make you ready to be a mother. That's why I take birth control. If it happens, oops. Most babies aren't planned. You also can't get an STD if you're in a monogamous relationship before you get married. I'm just glad I didn't wait.

#513 I confess that I don't want to date a girl. I just want one to snuggle, watch movies with,and make-out with every once in a while. Why do no ORU girls want that?
