If you could go back to your teens and change your life, would you?

Keep in mind that change probably would mean you wouldn't have the kid(s) you now have.(any change sets a new/different path)

I've thought about this, actually. I have some regrets, or more just some situations I would have liked to avoid (one my fault, one not).
But at the end of the day, I'd say no. It's almost impossible for me to risk my current kids on the chance I might get hypothetical ones I love as much, to be honest. And I survived the experiences I'm talking about, so who knows if they scarred me or made me stronger. Both maybe?

It's something I say to my daughter from time to time. Make sure you think through your question, because I'll give you the answer. Are you sure you want it though???

Ask away. Nothing is off limits, and I promise to be honest. And flawed. Mostly flawed, let's face it.

How many types of flaws are there if relevant or is there only one type or is this question flawed? ;)

I have many flaws. They're all quite distinct, and carefully catalogued by my wife for those occasions where she needs to pull them out one by one to remind me how lucky I am to have her.
But I never bothered actually counting them, so I couldn't say. Just 'lots'.

Your real name, date of birth and social security number please.
Not that I'd do anything with it.
Just curious how much you are willing to risk.

Favorite religion?

This is a tough one to answer because there is a degree of stereotyping involved, or focusing on certain aspects of a religion and ignoring others.

I like aspects of Judaism though, in terms of the scholarship, and room for...umm...robust discussions.

I like the diversity which lies beneath an umbrella like Hinduism.

I like some Christians, and feel like their religion helps them be better people. It's a minority to be honest, but that reminds me that the impacts of religion can be nuanced. It's also the predominant religion in Australia, which has a culture of irreligiousness, secularism and cultural Christianity. But I do find myself thankful for the fact that it was under a broadly Christian country that this was able to flourish if that makes sense??

I dislike fundamentalism.

Shoot...I don't meant I like a minority of Christians. I meant I think it's a minority of them who are better people because of their religion.

I mostly figure nice Christians would be nice non-Christians, and vice versa.
