    Why is the male depiction seen with more Disgust?

    I've always depicted females (not sexualized) but rather in clothes and naked in art on FB. So anyway I wanted more diversity and then saw some beautiful depictions of men naked. All of a sudden I get some messages telling me how it's not only gross but should be rated porn. I know art is...

    How will you spend Christmas?

    Given that Christmas is a secular holiday and that anyone can celebrate, I'm just curious how you celebrate. Me, I'm just getting together for family and eating dinner. I thought about making some dishes but I still haven't come up with anything so far. No decorations up but I got them all...

    I have a question regarding Malala Yusufzai

    I thought I'd ask the smarter bunch here who are always great at articulating their thoughts on matters I have trouble in. First of all, it started on FB and then another forum. I clicked like for Malala Yusufzai's recovery and never mentioned Islam but that she was a brave girl and how...

    How to not come off rude at this joint?

    Alright I won't blame my Aspergers for my either horrible to invisible to horrible communication skills, but how does one ask about religion politely? I only come to these sites to want to know more and every time I come, I have people either avoiding me like the plague or taking only my...

    What's with all the droughts?

    It seems to be happening in Kenya where my aunt works and other countries: Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti. Is it global warming or just climate change? Nonetheless I found this very disturbing and wonder how this will affect not only man but all of the living habitat. My biggest fear...

    What poem piece sums your outlook on life?

    I would say this piece from Emily Dickinson would describe how I feel when it comes to admiration both publicly and alone. I'm Nobody! Who are you? Are you – Nobody – too? Then there's a pair of us? Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know! How dreary – to be – Somebody! How public...

    What're the pros and cons to Unity?

    I'm sure the subject of "unity" is evolutionary in us and is how we have managed to survive in a world filled with many hardships. However it is also subject to division and conflict. For instance whenever I hear people say we must live in unity in order to be a strong nation, what're the...

    What sources of Media do you trust?

    There seems to be so many biased views in the media including the news. The only sources I have used are BBC and recently AlJazeera news. My sources are as you can tell very limited. I was wondering what other sources anyone uses that they find more reliable and less subjective.

    I'm Curious

    What will Egypt do once they have overthrown their government? What is going to happen once there is this democracy? Will there be an overthrow of other political/religious figures and if so who or what? It would be great if I could get some input from the Egyptian people....that is if their...

    Is Rape justified in a marriage?

    Ok well before anyone says it isn't, I was arguing with some people who in their religious belief believe that there is no such thing as rape in a marriage. In other words, if a woman decides to marry she must give up some of her "rights" and please her man. One woman told me that a man has...

    Why is this one god not forgiving?....

    of human fault. If god created man why did he create "mistakes"? It has never made sense to me though as much as I'd like to see someone rot in hell when they abuse or hurt an animal or mankind. I was just wondering what your god's reasonings are for this.

    Since it's near Halloween....

    Has anyone ever had a "ghostly" phenomenon? I know for me as a skeptic I've had odd things happen that are too hard too explain to cynics even though I know better. After my grandma's funeral, our electricity went on and off. My dad who's very pragmatic told us her (our) drawers she...

    I think I'm "feeling" more spiritual

    This forum is not an easy place for me to word feelings or "experiences" especially on one where everyone seems very academically bright. I'm not sure how to word these feelings. I still remain a great skeptic and do not believe in any creationer but there is a still this strong "feeling"...

    Why is sexuality a choice?

    Forgive me if this has been asked several times. I was wondering why so many faiths not only look down on sexuality but believe it's a choice? I see so much of this especially among abrahamic faiths, maybe it's just me. I was curious if this attitude is compltely natural or if it more or less...

    An American face of Islam

    BBC News - An American face of Islam Personally I think they're doing a good job educating the uninformed in America but I don't know if it'll make much of a difference with the extreme ignoramuses in this country.

    I don't believe in god....

    But where shall my title go. I don't believe in god but I am not absolutely sure. Should I just be an atheist or one of those ppl in the middle? While I don't believe in spirituality, I still cannot comprehend or why I would want to believe in anything that holds onto the dead.

    How does one forgive?

    How does one live without a loved one's?

    I was just curious how people lived without a loved ones life. I find it after 3 years a difficult. For me it's one for most the sureal feelings. I want to drink or do anythinging that alters my mind but at the same time, it doesn't solve anything. It hurts like a stab wound. I was...

    Anyone feel they are considered poor?

    I don't really consider myself poor but I do live within a tight budget. I only afford what I need and even then I try and keep it at a minimum. I've never been comfortable in telling people how much I make or what I do for a living. I've had people ask me the magic question "why?" I really...
