We dated for two weeks. The chemistry was great She would set up tons of dates and the last two dates we kissed often at the end of the date. After the last date she told me she has been weird about relationships lately, that I am an amazing guy and saw me as someone she would like as her boyfriend, but that she was not ready for a serious relationship. The next day, she told me how amazing I was and that she did not want to screw this up and that she wanted to take things slow. I asked her out on a date the next day and she responded saying that she doesn't feel we have romantic chemistry and that I deserve to be with someone who can give me the intimacy I deserve because she feels she isn't at a point in her life right now in which she can provide that for me. She said she loves spending time with and talking to me and that she can see me as her best friend someday. SInce this happened, she has text messaged me and called me twice in a 5 day span. How should I interpret this?

I am getting ready to install a floor outlet in our living room. I have the materials but my only question is this......I have lighting throughout my crawlspace, can I tie into one of the light fixtures or do I have to go back to the light switch to tie into that box?

Some of us go to church on Sunday, acknowledge our deities, then walk out the door and get on with a Godless routine. Despite the extraordinary representations that we claim are factual from reading holy texts about spiritual beings, a heavenly realm, and the imminent resurrection of the dead, why do we resume our impermissible acts? Many of us reflect upon our deeds with karma, the implications of an afterlife. We ponder the existence of Hell yet fail to maintain our devoutness. In general, sins are perceived merely as mistakes which should be quickly repented. But it’s more critical than this, I believe that our faithfulness to the religion tests the capacity of our conviction. Do we really believe in God? If so, why do we repeatedly challenge our religious morals, knowing the serious consequences? And what could be more serious than the outcome of our everlasting fate? Why cling to some saintly noble premise with either blindness or wavering strength when you can just dive into fun and pleasure? I think most deists avoid the thoughts that rebel and adhere something others believe in so they don’t feel lost and unruly because generally atheists are misinterpreted into being disloyal. Unfortunately, some deists are forced to adapt to these conventional notions and myths because they are born into that religion and not because they chose it based on research and exploration. I was born into a moderately religious Muslim family. Growing up with the immediate Islamic customs and traditions, I was blindfolded from the agnostic thoughts that questioned the existence of supernatural forces and mythical illusions that were extremely accentuated. This brought me to a conclusion of what is right and what is wrong. If I opposed my religion, I felt I was doing it in an attempt to escape responsibility for my actions, satisfy the inner devil and disregard Intelligent Design. However, if I accepted it then I was defying the entire theory of Evolution and the laws of natural selection. Apparently both are controversial but I felt like science was more reliable since it was evaluated through experimentation rather than hollow myths. The best evidence that there probably isn't a God is that belief in God is so deeply culturally embedded. When we study world religions, it's obvious that, throughout time, all of these different people are making up their own stories about God. But no one can equally prove that Satan is fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other. They lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them. He who asserts must prove, and so unless the deist can offer some convincing argument for God’s existence, I will be justified in Agnosticism. Now, I don’t want to make this a personal rambling but I feel like many students can connect. Religion isn't that big a concern in our society and I believe most Americans are “functionally” atheists. I was at a tough time in my life when I was looking for God or something to tell me where to go. I tried to find it through science and knowledge. I figured religion and science are one in the same. That the truth is in partly, at least, what we see and experience through science so religion in no way should conflict with it while keeping it's integrity. But I wanted to believe so much that at least the Quran and the Abrahamic religions could be partly right that I tried with all my brains to have it all converge into one beautiful meaning, and you know what, it came to make more sense than I thought it would. I can convince myself there is a God through my own findings the past couple of years. But with all the contradictions in all religions, I could never convince myself that they're a hundred percent right. And that's what I failed at. Maybe I'm failing because I'm looking for that hundred percent. I feel much better being religion-less than having one. I feel free, yet I know right from wrong. When I do something good, I feel good; when I do something bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion. However, to some extent, I maintain Islamic customs to keep my parents satisfied. I felt more angered the years I believed in a God that's ready to smite me for accidentally saying a curse word in my mind that is blasphemous, than I did in the years I didn't know of a God. Not that I'm an atheist, or against religion. It's just when you're back in a corner and feeling threatened to be a certain way or else you will pay with your soul, you feel even more stressed and angered in your life. Think about it. If someone is there standing over you and ready to smite you for a screw up and roast your soul for eternity if you fail, I'm one of those where I'm going to feel more pressured and if the whole deal is to play nice and be happy, then it's counter-productive. I just don't believe in Heaven and Hell anymore, believe me, I've tried. I think most people who claim this principle do it because they’re culturally adapted to it. I don’t think anyone would incessantly sin and decrease their chances of ending up in Heaven if they truly had faith. They are just scared to admit it. True faith only begins when we erase doubt, everyone is doubtful because everything is based on human assumptions. If we cannot comprehend God, then how can we reason with any confidence concerning his existence? It’s easy to say a God exists, but do we really believe?

I suspect that lots of parents go through their child's candy and pull out any items that aren't completely sealed. Therefore, although it's a bit more expensive, I don't even bother buying stuff like suckers with the twist-on wrappers (Dum-Dums). How about you?

The appliance repairman told me that my drop in range was not worth fixing. There seem to be a lot more options available with slide in ranges. Would it be practical to modify the cabinet to accomodate a slide in? Also would it be expensive?

I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation,indivisible
With liberty and justice for all

I think it sounds so much better in its original form,don't you agree?
After all do we really need a pledge which actually excludes many Americans in its own wording,like a poke in the eye to millions of Americans who aren't believers saying that they aren'r "real" Americans

I know this is a really, really, really weird question, but I was wondering what damages the elements could do if they where like powers. Yeah I know how Air and Fire could kick ***, I'm not 100% sure on the effects of what earth could do, and I have no idea how you could beat someone up with water. Also what could spirit do? That one probably has a lot.
