    "Fake" mental illnesses

    While in a psychology class recently, I learned an important fact that changed the way I look at many of these "grey area" mental illnesses that are sometimes difficult to distinguish true mental illness from other things: A person is only diagnosed with a "Disorder" when it negatively affects...

    Fasting in Religion

    I find that fasting is a combination of things to me personally. First ant foremost, it is an expression of my devotion to God. This is a very personal thing which many I have met find hard to understand. The simple act of depriving myself of food and drink from sunrise to sunset is my way...

    What is your favorite thing about Martin Luther?

    This is perhaps my greatest praise for Martin Luther. While I admire his courage and perceptiveness in not only seeing the wrongs of the Catholic Church at the time, but also cataloguing them and presenting them for debate, I admire most that he presented his 95 Thesis in the spirit of...

    Are Men Necessary In Raising Children?

    As a student of sociology, the most important aspect of having parents of both sexes is that children take many of their sociatal cue's from their parrents. Little children learn more from thir fathers how men act, and more from their mothers how women act. It is not only important for the...

    What is your favorite thing about Bahá'u'lláh?

    I appreciate His teachings. I appreciate the emphasis his teachings put on individual investigation of truth, on the responsibility of the individual to judge truth for himself. Wrong and right, good and bad, these things are given by his teachings, but there is a recognition that ultimately...

    Does 0.9999999... = 1?

    Really this all kind of depends on how one looks at the concept of "infinity", as we are essentially taking .9^ out to an infinite decimal. The funny thing about this is that the only way for .9^ to not eventually be indistinguishable from 1 is to view infinity as being at some point a finite...

    Self Defence and the Baha'i Faith

    I admit that my primary motive for posting this is simply to generate discussion. I have no real question, and no grievance; nor do I have any point to prove. I just like to talk.:) I noticed in the "Do you believe that Baha`u'llah is Jesus Christ?" thread references to the Baha'i view of self...

    Hi, I'm Yoco, and I belive in things...

    Hello, I am Yoco. Ok, so that is not my real name, but it will do for online discussion. Besides, if I gave you my real name you would not be able to find me anywhere else on the internet, as I am Yoco just about everywhere else I have ever been. Before you guys say anything, yes, I do...
