I have been studying anthropology and sociology and have come across many definitions of the word religion. I would like to ask everyone what is their understanding of the meaning of this word and what is a precise definition for religion, which might be used for the study of religion in general and the religion of certain persons, groups, etc ?

I am looking more for personal opinions than quoted resources of anthropologists, etc. In particular what are any ideas for overcoming the problems in studying religions from a social perspective. I especially do not like the study of religion as it is presented in anthropology books.

I found out just a few weeks ago that my fiance may be the father of another womans baby. He and I had a baby in May and I was told by the woman that he supposedly slept with that he cheated on me with her in June, my fiance and myself had yet to move in together. She swears that when the baby is born the dna will show 100% that the baby is my fiance's. My fiance isnt the one who told me about this alleged affair and he still swears up and down he never touched this woman. So my question is this if the DNA test says that the baby is his can I assume that there is no room for errors or mistakes? Are DNA tests always 100% correct?

Here is the story. I was on the 5th day of my period (they usually last 7 days) and my guy and I fooled around. There was nothing except the string on the outside down there, so he sort of went a teeny tiny bit inside. He climaxed and now I am concerned. Could I still get pregnant even though I was on my period and had a tampon in? He didn't go IN completely. It was more of a tease thing. I can't quite explain it. You would have had to experience something like this to get what I'm saying.

I cook my fully thawed turkeys with dressing in it at 450 °F sealed in aluminum foil. I throw away the timer and I don't open it at all until it's done. I'm trying to develop a simple chart with a sliding scale so can take the turkey weight and cross reference it with the cooking time when I bake it. I usually bake a 20 pounder for 3 1/2 hours and it comes out perfect. I did a 17 pounder once at about 3:06 and it came out perfect. However when I did a 24 pounder at 4 hours (my straight line estimate) that wasn't enough. So maybe a curve would be better than a straight line. However I really don't know. If you have worked out perfect cooking times for various weights of turkey with dressing in it I'd like your input. It doesn't bother me what temperature you do yours (350 °F or whatever) as long as you have worked out the perfect time for cooking all your various turkey weights while cooking in a similar manner to the way I do. It would give me useful information that I could work with.

Example;

When I was age ten I was foolish enough to believe that if I could walk into any restaraunt and eat all I cared to eat, and drink all I cared to drink.. then pay for it all before I walked out of the door.. then I would most assuredly be rich!

At age 20 I thought I would most assuredly be rich when I could form my own successful corporation and take it public.. that I would most surely be rich!

So in your honest opinion what is the break point or threshold if you will.. between being rich and being poor?

You will be rich when you ... ?

I have been in a relationship with a. what I thought of as a special relationship since April. We spend a lot of time together and enjoy doing the same things in life. I have been very generous in my gifts to her for Christmas and did not even get a Christmas card in return. Should I tell her to get lost?
