WHen a Christian or other religious group or person tries to convince anyone of their beliefs and view points people get angry and say things like stop trying to convert me! Or Stop pushing your views down my throat!

But if a non believer tries to convince a religious person that they are wrong and to take on their beliefs instead its never considered the same thing. Why? Its clearly the exact same thing just different sides of the debate.

BTW: before any religious people or atheists start getting angry for no reason saying I DONT DO THAT! Fine but some on both sides do!

Me personally I have way too much fun celebrating. I cant live without celebrating all these holidays and plus the meetings every week would probably be too much. And plus I wouldnt want to be pressured to spread the word of god by going to people's homes. The real reason I never participate in selling stuff door to door is cause I just dont feel like going somewhere knowing they wont even bother listening and then come to the conclusion that Im right.

How about you guys? Are you too happy with your religion or lackthereof? Or just what are your reasons?

I post this in the Senior Category because I want to understand why so many people seem to have no clue what it is like to be a homeless individual living in the streets & using shelters. This is a serious problem in America for seniors & the disabled (mental & physical).

Have you had any experiences that you would care to share about the emotional side of being homeless?

Did it change you for the good or not?

Jehovah's Witnesses abhor suicide, viewing it as a sin. If you commit suicide they will not give you a funeral service in their church/Kingdom Hall because they feel that would be highly improper. I know this because when I was a JW I saw what happened when a fellow JW killed herself.
Yet if you kill yourself by refusing a blood transfusion, you are seen as a martyr. They pray about you, they put pictures of you in their magazines.
And if you want to know why I'm angry, its because I can still remember the faces of the little children in the magazines - the little children whose parents had refused to allow them blood transfusions. I was told that these little children 'made Jehovah proud' and he loved them for dying to keep his commandments.
Where's the logic in this?

As a Catholic, I've had people tell me what I believe or what my Church teaches. Yet, none of the things would be even remotely close to what we believe at all.

I'm sure this happens with people of other religions as well. It amazes me how uneducated people can talk as if they were experts.

I mean...come on. Not only are these people blatantly lying and spreding stereotypes, but they clearly don't have a clue what they're talking about. It's lovely that because I wear black they say that I am a Satanist, a rapist, a murderer, freak, lunatic, racist, etc. Us "goth" looking people are for the most part friendly, accepting, and kind...we don't conform the stereotypes that this site promotes. I mean, since when does dress denote who a person is on the inside?

I'm not sure what to think-- is this a joke site, or are they serious? If they are serious, I'm torn between being sad that people can be so full of hate, and laughing because they look so ignorant. I'm sorry, but if a deity exists I truly hope that He or She is looking at people for who they are on the inside and looking at their deeds while alive-- not at how beautiful they appear to the rest of the world on the outside.

What do you guys think? Joke site, or nuts on the loose?

I just had some new neighbors move in next door. They are always blasting Bob Marley tunes and instead of saying "hello" they say "ayyyee mon!"
Anyway.. I have been noticing that my kitty has been acting different lately. Usually she only wants to eat 2-3 times a day, but now she is ALWAYS hungry. she also started to meow along to the bob marley tunes, as if she is singing along. She jumps through the window at night and starts licking my face so I will wake up and feed her.
what is going on here?

I have 4 friends coming over to my apartment for Thanksgiving dinner. I have no problem with the cooking part. The problem is keeping my guests entertained. I have not entertained in a very long time. I'm always the guest at somebody else's place. I'm always great as an attending guest, but am nervous as a host for my own dinner party. I'm nervous about how to keep them entertained after dinner, so they don’t get bored in my apartment.

Any body got any ideas? Any games I can buy? Card games? Any advice would be well appreciated.
