"if we forget the notion of there being a God and just live life as it is" and "why don't we all just live our lives the way we want and forget about the notion of their being a God as our Father or even our Creator".

That is what the world does Clolibre. The world is overflowing with people who have decided to do things that way. I've tried doing things that way too at various points in my life. For most people, all they want is a deep relationship and that's what we are designed for anyway so it's possible to live a 'normal' life without being a Christian.

You said earlier: "If we are doing something wrong than the only way to know is to be told."
One thing that amazes me about some of you american kids is just how well-developed your consciences actually are but I'm not even sure what battle you are fighting here.
I can see that Youth yearns for sexual relationship and I would say to him go and try it to see if he feels comfortable with it (as I so wanted to do) but I don't really know what battle you are yourself fighting here. What is it that you would want to do if you were completely allowed?
