I know a formal handshake is supposed to be like "eye contact - firm grip - two or three shakes", but what about when you're meeting someone casual for the first time??

as a girl, i know a lot of guys aren't comfortable with "nice to meet you!" hugs--and as a teenager who meets a lot of punks and thugs, the formal one doesn't seem to fit either.

so what the hell do i do?

This has been a question I have asked myself over and over, why is the christian deity, a male one? Why does it even have a gender?
My youth pastor said he made adam in his own image, correct?
But could not this image been an image for a final project? Like when you want to paint something, you have an image of what the final product should look like.

Why was the christian god's product reflect a gender onto it's creator?

Therefore, the prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the follower of Christ, as the messenger of God. Order life in accordance with the dictates of the Quran - the Divine book revealed to the world through him. That, and that alone, is the path to eternal salvation.

I just asked this question in a different way and it was completely misunderstood by all the believers who answered it...

If you believe in the existence of God, and are a curious, rational person wouldn't you be more interested not in what God wants you to do, or what Jesus or Muhammad did etc but in the biggest questions of all?

Who or what is God?
Where did he come from?
How is he constituted?
How did he come into being?
Who or what created him?
If he wasn't created how can he just be?
Why did he create the universe?
WHY does he want us to do these things that he wants us to do?

BIG questions. Big scientific questions. Not just "should I keep the sabbath" or "is homosexuality wrong"...

Why are you all just talking about WHAT God wants you to do?

Why would a 3 week old baby need to be raped by two men in a small African town because they believe having sex with a virgin cures AIDS?

Please, I welcome the justifications for the suffering of that infant, and the suffering of the baby girl's mother who had to find her....

I broke it off with a guy cuz he wouldn't committ to me. I'm glad I broke it off cuz it shows he can't have his cake and eat it too now. I see him regularly cuz he lives by me. I am still in love with him. What would make you want me more, Me ignoring you or me calling you telling you I miss you.
