Eventually (in the far distant future), humanity may collectively leave behind the practices and beliefs of religion, theism, spirituality and absolutism. Nihilism may even take the place of most, maybe even all, skepticism.
Just as we may have evolved from cognitively simple, instinctual primates into beings capable of abstract, philosophical thought, can we also eventually evolve to cope with the idea that existence is ultimately meaningless and thus avoid degeneration into a self-destructive chaos?
I don't really expect any good answers in this section, but who knows? Maybe someone will surprise me. :P
If not, I'll just try again in the Philosophy section. ;) But this IS relevant to the R&S section, so I thought I'd try here first to see what happens.

Is it weird to come out as questioning? Does it really count as coming out at all?
I go to a LGBTQA group at my college and today we shared coming out stories, which I found motivating. I came out as a lesbian two years ago, but while I like women, I see myself as a man. I am still in the closet about my gender identity.
So can I come out of the closet and be openly questioning of my trans-ness (I don't know if I'm transgendered or transsexual)? Or should I stay in until I figure it out?

Why must they hold the cross as a symbol? Don't they REMEMBER that he was ressurected? He is no longer in the cross... even though he was, he isn't. he rose the third day, and if they want 2 b reminded, why don't they just read the bible? it's described there...

She is my friend, but she's seriously a slob. I can barely walk on the floor sometimes and it's driving me nuts. I knew she was a slob before she moved in, but I didn't know it would always be this much of a mess. She has 2 kids and one of them has special needs and she works full-time, but she should be able to find some time to clean. We are both on the lease and I can't afford to rent this place by myself nor do I have anyone else to rent it. What should I do?

Should you be concerned about what other people think about you? If you don't think about what others think about you---are you arrogant or self-centered?

And don't tell me about "health reasons" since this, I'm sure, would have been a cover-up for real religious/political motivations behind popularizing this procedure. Think about it... if a doctor told you today that by cutting off your child's thumb could possibly prevent some minor healthy problems later, how quickly would you be convinced to do it? So who pushed so hard to get this thing going on a regular basis where religious concerns aren't involved?
Please understand that I am not knocking any religious belief that adheres to this practice. I'm just wondering why someone would do it if it isn't a religious issue for the parent.

Lancet lives in Kirabati.
In his culture his wife will be picked for him.
Lancet has been to school in the city and wants to choose his own wife.
His family and village forbid this.
