    Jesus Naked on the Cross

    I wasn't there, so I don't know whether he was naked or covered. It's not an issue to me, either way. Wonder if the worshipping nudists get cold. Always feels drafty in church, to me. I've no judgement for them, but, can't personally reconcile why it would be necessary when Christ took all...

    Are all believers in God automatically idol worshipers?

    Are you familiar with the poem Footprints in the Sand? This is how I perceive God's love during really hard times in our lives. http://www.onlythebible.com/Poems/Footprints-in-the-Sand-Poem.html As stated, ****, horrible **** happens to include the loss of innocent children to illness or...

    Are all believers in God automatically idol worshipers?

    I believe that God created life and set life into motion. I also believe that creation was tainted by sin and **** happens. The majority of lost pregnancies occur naturally and as a result of chromosomal defect. Science is as real of a "force" as is God. Biological processes aren't...

    Are all believers in God automatically idol worshipers?

    God never promised that our lives would be free from trials or despair. Biological error or malady are responsible for the images in the video. Explain how your video relates to my post.

    Are we equal?

    Within what context are we evaluating equality? If we're evaluating equality in terms of means or ability - no, we're certainly not all equal. If we're evaluating equality within the context of who we are as per God - we're still not necessarily equal, but, were told that God loves us all...

    Are all believers in God automatically idol worshipers?

    I disagree with your presumptions. I required evidence of God to accept God as truth. That evidence manifested spiritually. I feel God. I commune with God. I have a relationship with God. An idol could be an actual deity or a distraction of sorts. A mere distraction doesn't translate to...

    Should couples have sex before marriage or not?

    I think that it's an entirely personal choice. An individual should strive to be educated enough from a practical perspective and spiritual/religious perspective (if applicable) to ascertain if it's of greater benefit to partake before or abstain until marriage or whatever other life event or...

    I want to believe in God again.

    Have you considered attending service at a Unitarian Universalist church? http://www.uua.org/ You might be a good fit for UU as my understanding is that you wouldn't have to forsake your connection to Catholicism, but, would have the opportunity to learn and explore with others in an accepting...

    Favorite instrument sound...

    I love when piano and strings unite - violin, cello, viola, bass, guitar - love them all. I really dig Chopin.

    What's Wrong With You? Or.....How Are You Abnormal?

    I have PMDD and it makes around two weeks out of each month challenging for me - emotionally, physically and socially. I've gotten better dealing with it over time and it helps that I have a wonderful family who love and support me, even when I feel like I'm unraveling. For years, I suffered...

    Dress Codes and Women's Reproductive Freedom

    I doubt that anyone wants your help, Phil. You either find value in contributions or you don't. Accusing people of laziness and belittling their contributions as amusing without elaboration, appears lazy, if not arrogant, in and of itself. You should have put a disclaimer in your OP.

    Dress Codes and Women's Reproductive Freedom

    You don't find anything demeaning about a woman being reduced to something to sleep with? You don't find anything demeaning about being poked fun at because you don't look a certain way? Are you going to ascertain that this sort of thing doesn't happen often? Dress unfortunately can relate to...

    Dress Codes and Women's Reproductive Freedom

    I don't disagree. My concerns are not rooted in that which is innate. I'm not concerned by natural attraction. I've never faulted a man who wasn't sexually attracted to me because of my weight nor have I ever faulted anyone who has a natural inclination towards specific attributes. Natural...

    Dress Codes and Women's Reproductive Freedom

    Perhaps I haven't been clear. I'm referring to societal pressure within the context of a woman feeling obligated to dress a certain way to please or attract a man or a man's expectation that a woman look a certain way to be worthy of consideration. And I'm not talking about natural and primal...

    Dress Codes and Women's Reproductive Freedom

    I call it as I've experienced it. I've rejected patriarchal constructs that serve to influence my image of self and I managed to find a life partner for whom I've never felt pressured to dress a certain way. We also have a child together. Mindset. As a woman, I've never approached my...

    Dress Codes and Women's Reproductive Freedom

    What type of self respect do I have, if I define "good" mate as one that I can only attract and keep because I succumb to societal pressure and standards of beauty? Dress code should be a non issue when discussing my reproductive freedoms and choice. Naturally, I reject the notion that a woman...
