    Looking For Resources

    I wish to learn more about Islam than I already do. I am too nervous to go to a mosque near me seeking answers. What are the best resources for me to learn and become more knowledgeable? Be it books, websites, podcasts, anything helpful. I am asking here because I am seeking answers from the...

    How Many of You Want a "LGBTI and Allies Only" Subforum?

    Which is why I do not like the idea if it being put in the political section. I am not talking about a 'movement.' I don't see any reason it should be that explicitly political.

    How Many of You Want a "LGBTI and Allies Only" Subforum?

    No, it doesn't. The original proposal included allies. It is not leaving out heterosexuals.

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    Just some friendly advice. It is rarely helpful to over-simplify the problem of evil and make it seem like a trite concern. Theologians have been debating it and coming up with different answers for centuries and continue to do so. It is a serious topic that does not have an 'obvious' answer as...

    What was last movie you watched?

    I rarely watch movies but I recently watched The Martian with Matt Damon. I liked it very much. Exciting and fun.

    Our System is Broken....

    My point was that these calls for people to 'just buy something else' is difficult to do when the majority of people need to purchase the cheap stuff to stay on budget. Plenty of people would eat healthier if it was cheaper and easier to do. But for a single parent working multiple jobs, it just...

    How to defeat Donald Trump thread

    I am quite happy he is the nominee. And if he did win, which he won't unless something catastrophic happens on the Democratic side, he would be a loud, do nothing president. The problem with talking big in campaigns is that when you are in office you have to deal with Congress if you want to...

    The Hillary Thread

    Trump is the best person for us to have to face because he will be so easy to beat. The uneasy feeling is because it is utterly embarrassing that she will even have to campaign against him.

    How Many of You Want a "LGBTI and Allies Only" Subforum?

    Part of having an LGBTQI+ subforum is that broader community. It seems unfortunate to split it up between all of the different subsections. If it were not an LGBTQI and allies forum, I don't see myself using it much or at all. I don't see the need to force everyone to split up into all these...

    Do you use the IGNORE FEATURE?

    I do. It is less about avoiding the content of someone's post than it is making it easier to find the things worth reading in a thread.

    How Many of You Want a "LGBTI and Allies Only" Subforum?

    I said before that I have no problem with a hetero subforum. I just didn't see the point.

    Do you "flaunt" your religion?

    I did when I was young because in the community in which I was raised you were expected to do so. I have never done so as an adult. I don't want people to make negative assumptions of me right away.

    How Many of You Want a "LGBTI and Allies Only" Subforum?

    So you want another subforum for a purely symbolic purpose? This is absolutely true and deeply problematic.

    How Many of You Want a "LGBTI and Allies Only" Subforum?

    What exactly would be the purpose of it? I personally don't care if there is one. There's already a men's issues subforum. I'm just not sure what its function would be.

    Are you sure you are an Atheist?

    I am late to the party as always. But to the original post: atheism for me is the default position when I am unsure what I believe. I have been in a couple year phase of trying to figure out what I believe, but during that time I consider the term 'atheist' to be categorically correct. Meaning...

    Our System is Broken....

    I'm not sure what 'hard basket' means. But in someone's day to day life, paying their bills is fair more important to them than potentially harmful chemicals in their food or whether or not their clothes were made by children. People have lives to live and these issues that are detached from...

    Our System is Broken....

    I actually do think people are more aware of it than many activists like to think. They simply do not care all that much. Edit: To use a personal example, I have been aware for years that there are unhealthy chemicals in the food I eat. But I don't stop eating it nor am I all that concerned...

    How Many of You Want a "LGBTI and Allies Only" Subforum?

    I am rather late for the poll because I was on an internet break. I think it is a lovely idea. As for specifics, I think it would be nice if it included allies as long as they were broad allies. There exist folks that wish the acronym stopped at LGB and their presence would be unfortunate, I think.

    Homosexual is about genetic or hormons, or what ?

    It is not known how it comes about. There are many theories, none of which are reliable. Despite all of the developments in the last fifty years there is still a great deal we do not know about genetics and the brain. Heck, until recently it was thought that 'gingers' had a recessive gene. That...

    Are you okay with prostitution and porn and are you fine with your family practicing them?

    You do realize there are strippers that never go topless, right?
