I'm childfree, meaning I decided that, no matter whatever else I do in life, I will never have a child.

However, even while I make no personal attacks on people, no matter what other decisions I make, lifestyle or otherwise, they always insult or attack me when they find that I don't plan to become a parent. They think something is wrong, and insist that I will change my mind, despite that I've felt this way my entire life.

People also assume that since I'm childfree I hate children (I like kids), or that I'm selfish. I don't believe myself to be either of these things. I simply think that I won't make a very good parent.

Why do people have such a hard time accepting people who choose not to have children?

Have you heard of this before? What does this mean to you?

"A Coptic, Christian sect in Egypt, woman came to Omar complaining that the Muslim governor Amru-Ibn Al-`As took her house in order to add the land to an adjacent site being used for the construction of a mosque. Omar inquired into the matter and was told by Amr that the Muslims had increased in number and needed to expand the mosque. Amr explained that he had offered the Coptic woman a great deal of money, but when she refused, Amr left the money in a fund for her to take it anytime she wanted. Though many modern laws permit such a procedure, Omar did not accept it according to Islamic principles. He ordered the Muslims to stop the expansion of the mosque and rebuild the Christian woman's house, as it had been before."

Why in Genesis was the tree of knowledge of good and evil forbidden? It bore fruit and wouldn't that posess the same qualities? Knowledge of good and evil? So the original intention was that man is supposed to follow and not have knowledge?

Why can't this religion think for themselves? Why do they need a book (quran) to tell them every move to make in life? Is Islam for the weak mind? How are they so brainwashed into believing the ridicilous lies of the Quran?

Quotes from QURAN:

# "Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme." (Koran 8:37)
# The Koran instructs not to make friendship with Jews and Christians (Koran 5:51) but to war against them: "When the Sacred Months are over, kill those who ascribe partners to God wheresoever ye find them; seize them, encompass them, and ambush them; then if they repent and observe prayer and pay the alms, let them go their way (Koran 4:5). "Fight against those who believe not in God nor in the Last Day, who... refuse allegiance to the True Faith from among those who have received the Book, until they humbly pay tribute out of hand." (Koran 9:29) Note: These verses distinguish between warfare against pagans, and against Jews and Christian

it seems like gay pride parades would take away from the respect the gay community has earned over the past couple decades...?

wouldnt such a flamboyent parade strengthen the seperation between gay and straight? make people more discriminatory?

A person hurt you, no matter who it was... Fine. you decided that because you want to you will forgive them.

Now, does that require for you to be friendly again? Do you have to pretend that it never happened?

Or can you forgive them but be cautious and stay away? How about if you don't want to be friendly or have a relationship anymore? Does that mean that you are not really forgiving?

I know that 2-3 is not much to work with. I know it will fall on deaf ears and the current Mormons won't understand. That's okay.

I ask this because Current Mormons think that ex-mormons are a these big bad bullies that hate them (or that is what they are taught to believe)

If the Jews propagate the true message of Monotheism then I can personally say that I would support them in everyway possible.

Muslims should support anyone who teaches mankind to never worship the creation but ONLY worship the creator.

The Seven Noahide Laws are very Monotheistic.

Why do some Christian religions prohibit their members from doing Yoga, since it is a form of exercise that seems to be catching up with people nowadays? Any religious significance?
Only Christian groups who don't practice Yoga need to answer.

It seems to me that this is the thorn in the side for Israel, that they cannot compromise on something that they didn't create. It is punishment for a defensive war that was made necessary by the rejection of the partition by Arab and Palestinian leaders. The Arab armies attacked first and told the refugees to leave. Many just got caught in the crossfire or chose to leave beforehand because they didn't like the partition and decided to move elsewhere into Arab-held territory. Israel is willing to compromise on Jerusalem and do a land swap with the building of houses or financial compensation for the settlements along the '67 border. They will clear out any others and return the seized land. They also could be asked to clear out any other settlements that are smaller and in the way. So it seems to me this is the issue that can't be resolved.

It reads on the Fateh website that 'the refugee's right of return is the winning hand for (our desire for) the end of the Israeli state'.

I know I'm probably "throwing the fat into the fire", but I'd like to know what you think of my responses, and the responses of other LDS, to your concerns about Mormonism.

If you don't feel like writing a short essay, here is some multiple choice:

a) boring, same old thing I've heard a million times
b) quirky, humanistic, but still slavishly LDS
c) your words sometimes make me thoughtful
d) why aren't you already translated?

Just kidding. How does your mind tick over when active LDS give you responses? Do you ever find their responses inspire you with any reason/feeling to accept The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a sincere, valid religious choice?
