    What Is Love?

    Old thread, but what the hey... Varying definitions for love depending on whether we're talking about a friend, a child, a spouse, a neighbor. For my spouse...putting his *needs* before my *desires*...and being happy to do so. Someone here commented that love can erode. I agree. It takes...

    Pre-Parenting Counseling

    My .02...people interested in pre-parenting classes are most likely the ones who don't need it. Those who need it most likely won't go.

    "Giada, the inner beauty thing is just nonsense"

    Unfortunately there are *lots* of people who believe that...but it doesn't make it true.:) Again, beauty comes in many faces and forms. My 3 sons all married women who do not fit the media's view of 'beauty'...but I think they're beautiful. Even better, they have an inner beauty that just...

    How do you express love for your significant other(s)?

    Old thread but I'll answer anyway. Most people tend to show love the way they feel loved. One of the best books I've ever read was "The 5 Love Languages". My husband and I read it together and it just kind of clicked. I realized that part of my difficulty in not feeling 'loved enough' was...

    "Giada, the inner beauty thing is just nonsense"

    Show me someone who says 'inner beauty is nonsense' and I'll show you someone who ends up with a shallow piece of arm candy and then wonders years later why they're divorced. No doubt physical beauty plays a part in attraction. The important thing to remember is that beauty doesn't just have...

    A Christian persective of God and Country

    No, actually I wouldn't be offended...as long as you weren't forcing me to abide by *your* beliefs. Since the video was not forcing anyone to agree with it or live by it, I do not understand why people are taking offense. On the one hand you demand that we be tolerant of your views that "as...

    Richard Simmons on Who's Line (ABSOLUTLYE HILARIOUS!)

    Someone sent this to me a few months back. It's still hilarious.

    Even I know when I'm beating my head against a brick wall. Those who choose to misunderstand, will continue to misunderstand and nothing I say will obviously make a difference. Peace.

    Religious Acceptance and Tolerance

    I did not vote because there was not a choice for me. Acceptance and tolerance of a religion does not mean agreeing that it's the correct path. It just means accepting and tolerating that people have a right to their beliefs.

    Islam and women

    You missed my point. If women are to wear the hijab because men are too weak to control their baser instincts, then men also should wear the hijab since I've seen the same behavior from women. My sister's neighbor wears a hijab. Not because she wants to but because her husband converted to...

    Islam and women

    I'm sorry you choose to see it as disrespectful. They look like sacks to me and I think they're hideous looking. I am still allowed my opinion. I think. Lately I've had some doubts.

    A Christian persective of God and Country

    You're wrong, Maize. There can be true acceptance and tolerance of all faiths....if people put aside their emotional baggage which colors their thinking. Christians don't claim superiority. In fact, Scripture admonishes us to be humble. But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “ God...

    A Christian persective of God and Country

    PureX, Nobody is claiming superiority. We merely have a specific belief that we must live by. It's not a matter of superiority or inferiority. It just is. When an atheist puts up a website with what I see as the twisting of scripture, I don't call them a bigot for their belief or believe...

    A Christian persective of God and Country

    No, it doesn't encourage exclusion. It merely puts forth one viewpoint. You admit that it's not forcing you to convert. Do you also recognize that you're asking me to "convert" by asking me to deny my belief that a country without God is heading down the wrong path....since Scripture tells me...

    A Christian persective of God and Country

    No Maize....I found that quote objectionable as well. Do we label something bad and horrible because of one thing we disagree on? There are aspects about our government that I find objectionable...but I don't label it all as horribly gone wrong.

    A Christian persective of God and Country

    If bigot means I believe that a country without God has a questionable future...then yes, I am a bigot. I don't believe that is the definition of a bigot except in the minds of the intolerant.

    A Christian persective of God and Country

    Not knowing where else to place it or not thinking it would be so highly offensive to people? The mods can easily change that by moving it. You can celebrate it anywhere or anyway you choose. Unlike some, I'm not denying you the right to believe or practice your belief or trying to force...
