    What's your IQ?

    95-105 is going to be the average. Here in this thread you have the issue of selection bias. For one, the more intelligent are more likely to have reliable access to internet and the ability to utilize it effectively for message boards etc. (Working at a public library I see many people every...

    Shouldnt Christian Women wear head coverings in Public Worship?

    Let me start off by saying that I don't believe this to be an issue of Orthodoxy, but one of little "o" orthopraxy - it's not a requirement for salvation or anything like that - and I'm open to other interpretations. Having said all that. My original stance on this passage of scripture was that...

    How do you like to dress for church?

    I prefer to dress nicely in a modest dress or skirt - somewhere between casual and business casual - but neat. Not because I think God expects me to, but because that's how I prefer to dress in public all the time - regardless of venue. I like to look put together and like someone who cares...

    What would cause you to leave your church?

    Poor doctrine/heresy Not being able to get plugged into a ministry despite trying (why go to a church if I can't be an active part of the work they are doing? God didn't call me to be a seat filler - but part of a body of believers, with my own part to play) Legalism No involvement or service in...

    Should a Christian be Poor?

    I think a Christian should be generous and a good steward of the talents and resources God has given them - beyond those basic principals - wealth doesn't matter. Rich, poor or in between - I don't care, and I don't think it matters, as long as you have a biblical view of generosity and stewardship.

    Secular music limit?

    I'm not super strict about no profanity or promotion of sin - but I avoid it when possible. I like to listen to a lot of oldies, singer-songwriters, country, folk and indie stuff - but even sometimes hard rock and hip-hop if I'm in the mood. I actually don't listen to much "Christian" stuff, be...

    Poll For the Singles - In your future marriage . . . .

    I could . . . but I don't know you well enough to know if you're that type of guy or not. ;) The other problem I have finding good guys is that my personal and political beliefs aren't soo conservative that I'm around a lot of guys that subscribe to a complementarian view and still share...

    Beauty or Brains

    Brains. Definitely. A really psychically attractive guy becomes instantly a total turn off if he's a dim bulb. Likewise, an average or even generally less-attractive guy is so much more attractive if he can keep pace with me intellectually - even more if he can challenge me intellectually...

    What's your IQ?

    I actually don't know my IQ . . . . but it was tested when I was in elementary school in order to get into the Talented and Gifted program. I've never actually seen the score with my own eyes, and I'm not sure how I would test now, but I was told once by one of my school counselors that I had...

    Do you pray about your future spouse? If so do you pray for anything "unusual"

    I do, but not for anything unusual. I pray that he is finding success in his career and/or education, that he is making smart choice and being actively discipled in a good Christian community. I pray that he'll have the courage to pursue my heart and not expect me to take the lead. And, of...

    Poll For the Singles - In your future marriage . . . .

    Since I started the poll, I supposed I should answer - I'm definitely complementarian. I look forward to submitting to and respecting a good man in marriage. But I think that's also part of why I'm still single - I am not a soft-spoken wilting violet type - so I am very picky about the type of...

    New Here - Hello All!

    That's actually why I use the term evangelical. A lot of non-Christians esp. seem to erroneously associate "evangelical" with "fundamentalist" - and I think it's important to make a more accurate distinction by being public about being evangelical. Evangelicals come from many denominations and...

    Tattooed Christians

    My sister has a couple, but they are not religious in nature and she is not a practicing Christian. I'm not aware of my brother having any . . . . my mom said she was actually considering one though - and she's in her early 60s! My dad never would, and at first he didn't like mine - he came...

    Dating: He's so nice but....

    My willingness to keep seeing someone beyond the first 2 dates (which I'll give anyone at least 2) depends on the reasons for my lack of attraction. I've stopped seeing guys because they couldn't keep pace with me intellectually, because they weren't initiating anything and being the pursuer -...

    First Dates

    I don't care what we do as long as it is a good setting for conversation. The whole idea is to get to know someone - so movies are usually bad. I like doing active things - so bowling can be a good one, or hiking if doubling (I wouldn't want to go on a first date with an almost stranger out into...

    If you could call your Future Husband/Wife right now, what would you say?

    Where are you? What are you up to today? And why haven't we met yet? (I assume there's a good reasons - I just don't know what it is - so since God is silent on the matter - I'd ask my future spouse if I had the ability . . . )
