    Ever fallen in love with someone outside of your faith?

    When I was in a junior in high school I met and exclusively dated a devout Roman Catholic. To me she was the most Christian person I ever associated with: selfless, intelligent, hardworking, studious, a natural around children, great sense of humor, humble, and never made any fuss over her...

    Scientists use maths to predict 'the end of religion'

    It seems that way to me too, but then I think about Isaac Asimov's concept of psychohistory in his "Foundation" series of novels, where its protagonist, Hari Seldon, utilizes mathematics to predict the fall of the Galactic Empire. I wonder if statistics itself is capable of predicting highly...

    god

    I'm more partial to Strawberry and Orange jello, myself. :drool: Good and evil to me are merely human ideas, a continuum on which we as individuals exist, neither fully one way or the other, with a complex and subjective "harm/help" concept thrown in for good measure.

    Your regular spiritual schedule

    I write my thoughts in a small green notebook I carry around with me in my coat pocket. I also try to read a little bit of poetry to flex my artistic muscles.

    Growing up with and without religion

    It didn't play much of a role for me when I was a kid. I was raised Catholic for the first few years of my life, being baptized twice as an infant, going to Mass with mother and my siblings, even spending my first grade year in a Catholic school. I didn't like it much, because I thought all of...

    "Occultism"-- Coming out of the Closet

    In my earlier religiously zealous days I would've thought you a kook, but now, after maturing considerably, I'd say "cool!" and ask you more specific questions and gain a better understanding of, and a respect for, your beliefs Ain't that the truth! :yes:

    How is the Bible evidence the supernatural events it claims actually happened?

    David Hume in his books An Enquiry into Human Understanding and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion contain some very fascinating arguments concerning this topic. His views on miracles actually match some of your statements quite well.

    Thanks! You're the first woman I'm not related to to compliment me so in a long time. I greatly appreciate it.:D

    What kind of storm are you?

    Although there are quite a few people I would argue who are in awe of you, though.

    What kind of storm are you?

    You Are an Ice Storm You Are an Ice Storm You are much more serious than you look. On the surface, you're quite calm and even a bit enchanting. However, under the wrong circumstances, you can be a real...

    I Daresay You Misunderstand Me!

    Yes, that's true. Light-sided Jedi flying around in speeders on the high way of the Force do look like drunkards.

    Live with someone before marriage?

    Not to mention all those people involved in extramarital affairs and polyamory. Where do we draw the line at? That's what I heard too, in addition to them having more sex than married couples do :rolleyes:. Cohabitation I think is one of the most, if not the most, prevalent paradoxes in...
