I'm a 22 year old happily married stay at home mom and college student. I have no problems with my life- I love being home with my daughters, and plan to have finished my schooling and started my career about the time my youngest starts Kindergarten. I don't do much without my husband or children, and that's fine with me. I have several people in my life (siblings, friends, etc) that are constantly telling me, though, that I need a life of my own. That I should go out and have fun- I'm too young to have the responsibility I have- Anything I say- they act like I'm not being truthful or like I'm covering up that I'm really unhappy. I don't know what to say to them when they do this. I AM happy with my life and I don't WANT to go out and party just because that's what other people my age do- How do I handle this situation?

Like beyond the going to school and getting a job bit. Is 'education' over-rated and that is why there is so little common sense in the world? Or in the UK at least ...
I'm putting it in general cause i'm not feeling very philosophical. And definitly having one of those "Answers on a postcard please" days too :-)

What evolutionary advantage could religion provide?

All right, now I will be honest about this beginning part. I grew up and was raised in a Christian conservative household - red-blooded Republicans all the way. I now am still a Christian (although I focus more on spirituality than religion, but I do attend church every week) but am an independent with more liberal tendencies. My question goes out to the rest of the conservative Christians...

How can conservatives, who pride themselves on being Christians, be pro-death penalty. Wasn't Jesus pretty forgiving? I mean, the whole cast-the-first-stone/dying-on-the-cross-for-our-redemption thing...didn't that show that he probably doesn't want a bunch of sinful humans deciding the fate of other sinners?

Just a curious question...

I find it hard to trust people because I think that no one should be trusted. They will turn against you and sometimes your friends are your enemies. I only trust my Mom and my Dad

Here's the problem, Im a overnight stocker at this big retail store and Im sort of the quiet one that does his job. The other overnighters are idiots that they cant hold a daytime job, so they work at night. I mean these people are worst of the worst; raunchy girls talking bout their privates, lots of cussing amoung each other, guys talking bout sexual references bout themselves and the girls dont get offended they just laugh it all up. So back to me, when they start talking bout chicks and sex and what not, I kind of drift away to another area to work at, Im not ashamed from being who I am but I just want to avoid whenever they should ask me bout anything sexual, knowing myself dont give a F*ck I'll tell them im a F*g. Now what. Some guys give me the homo-phobe stare, long time ago I overheard someone say that im a "Maricon" slang for F*g in spanish. My point is I feel Im waiting for something to happen, if it does its me against 35. The "Man" in me feels I can manage this by myself.

ok so i was at work today and suddenlt we started talking about religion, then about americans, this co-worker who is very religious and open minded said she does not know why people get mad when there are other races in america because everyone that lives, moves to america is american, i told her i disagree, i told her i only consider whites (causcasian ) americans(unless they have moved from russia ,etc.. i said this because i am cuban and i consider myself hispanic, i am an american citizen, but i dont consider myself american, and i do not consider other races americans other than the white, the woman called me a skin head and went around telling people i work with about this, she said it offended her,.but she is not a minority and my black friends do not consider themselves americans either, they say they are african americans, or just african.. so what do you think, i mean in cuba you are not considered cuban even if youn have a citizen ship unless you are actually born there

How do you think the definition of this now well known institution has been altered since it first arose?

Are you aware of any cross cultural differences or changes that have taken place over the past few hundred years?

(I recognize this is likely to be entirely speculation, but I'm curious what ideas arise from your pondering the question.)

Is it some sort of trial of the fittest?
Would God prefer multiple ways of worshipping him/her anyway?
Or is all the hatred born of human weakness and misinturpretation of the word?
CAN SOMEONE BE A JEW, A MUSLIM, and A CHRISTIAN?
(aside from the Bah'ai)
Thoughts? Opinions?

'Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong­doers) there are no helpers.' (Qur'an 5:72)

'Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.' (Qur'an 5:73)

If you had the choice, which would you rather be? I've heard a lot of White people say that they'd rather be obese than Black. Is that racist? Is it funny?

A Christian Egyptian Surgeon told me that in the 60's when he was near a mosque in Egypt that Muslims were leaving after their services, that all they wanted to do was stick a knife in the heart of a Christian or Jew.
