Please don't accuse me of discrimination. I'm trying to be fair.

It seems perfectly sensible to expect the religious to be able to see from a non-religious point of view. We atheists/agnostics base what we know on what we see around us, much as the religious do in their daily lives. All humans do it; therefore, the religious should be able to grasp the non-religious perspective. I find, however, that they are FREQUENTLY unable.

So let's look at the other side.

The religious should be able to understand why it is difficult for an atheist/agnostic to see from the perspective of faith. Most of us think it is silly and ignorant (whether it is or not isn't my point) because it is based on what is unseen, on one of many holy texts in existence that all claim to be right, etc.

So, how can the religious expect us to see from their faith perspective if they refuse or are unable to see from a non-religious perspective based on observation?

I know that the notches are supposed to be cut out when using a pattern to sew, because it takes the corners out of the clothes, but I can't see why they're marked on my pant pattern on the straight side. No matter how I look at it, I can't see how it'll make a corner if I forget about cutting them out...patterns in general confuse me; they're hard to decipher.

We don't usually take my dog outside very much, but today we took him on a long walk. We came home and a few hours later we found two ticks on him. One when I was on the couch and the second one when we bathed him. My mom swept every inch of our house and we gave my dog a really thorough bath. Do we need to go all out with the sprays for the house and flea dips because of two fleas or do we just wait and watch for any more signs?

Charm School Finale Summary: TIn the Charm School season finale, the final four girls compete in a game-show style Q&A to see who has learned the most throughout the season; the first girl to miss three questions will get knocked out of the competition. The catch is that each girl gets to decide who to ask their question to.
Three girls quickly form a strategy to gang up on the fourth, and agree to ask all their questions to one girl, and someone is sent packing. Now down to three ladies, the next competition brings out the heart and tears when the girls have to give speeches on what it would mean to them to win the $50,000 prize. But only two can be chosen to continue. Those two finalists spend the next day dress shopping and getting makeovers for the final ceremony where Mo will determine which girl has changed the most during her time at Charm School. Only one of them is awarded the $50,000 grand prize, but both finalists leave with gifts they did not expect.


Eliminated:Shay (4th)

Or is a better question: do you UNDERSTAND evolution?

On the micro level it is no less than fact. With a little understanding in Mendelian genetics and some logic anyone can understand the basic mechanisms of evolution - mutations occur (fact), and make up the diversity in an organism Natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow are not hard to comprehend.

When two or more groups are isolated from each other (most likely for geographical reasons), the small differences will accumulate and eventually speciation will occur. You do not need a PhD to understand this.

Some people say evolution is only a theory, and that it has no evidence. Well... theories need a mass of evidence, and evolution provides that. Whoever told them otherwise was flatout lying, or ignorant.

So, I propose that if you do not "believe in" evolution, that you either say

1. "I do not understand evolution"

or

2. "I do not want to believe in evolution"

What are your thoughts?

I constantly check out clothes when I go to stores. For example, I think girls have some really cool clothes at Hollister. And I imagined that being a girl would be cool because of all of the cool clothes they get to wear. I sometimes check out guys and think they are good looking and sometimes I look at the crotch area. But I still check out girls too and I think girls are hot.

I am a teenager, and I guess I like fashion a bit, but I am not crazy for it. I want a girlfriend, but not until I am a bit older, like a senior or something. But is it normal for a teen to be like this? I don't fantasize about having sex with guys, I just compare myself to guys I think are good looking. Any help with this? If anything I am almost always having dreams about women, if that helps.

I need to fix up untreated drywall walls in the house and prep them for painting. How do I go about filling in holes and cracks in the wall? Especially the external corners where it seems there are cracks along what I guess is the corner joint tape beneath? Do I have to sand it down or remover them completely and start over?

Thanks for your help!
