    The original sin

    I found all my numbers on Wikipedia. I think a nation can be considered Christian when the majority of the people identify as Christians, and the government and society is heavily influenced by or based on Christianity. I believe this to be true of at least the United States; whenever I sneeze...

    The original sin

    In the United States, 80% of the population is Christian- down from 90% in 1990. In our courts we swear on a Bible, our currency reads 'In God We Trust' and schoolchildren pledge their allegiance 'under God' every morning. Italy is 87% Christian, Spain is 94% Christian, and France is estimated...

    The original sin

    It would seem you are associating the Middle East with Islam. True, it is heavily Islamic, but not everyone practices Islam. Allah is not hanging young girls, people are; and such a small number of people cannot possibly fairly represent the entire Middle East.

    depression quesiton

    From his story it might have appeared that his life was going nowhere and everyone, even his family hated him- but it turned out that was not the case. I think you just need to ride it out for 2 or 3 more years. Once you're old enough, you can remove yourself from that situation and start...

    Artist

    I'm a realistic sketch artist, but I also do digital. I've been told that my sketchwork is 'too tight', so I'm trying to loosen it up. I can post examples if you like, but they're a bit old. Maybe a daily sketch thread can be worked out here if people participate. That would be interesting.

    Favorite Artist

    The thing that bother's me most about Kinkade is that he takes advantage of the masses (who are sadly not so art-savvy) by putting cheap paper prints in his galleries that have only a few highlights of real paint on them (which are not even placed there by the holy hand of Kinkade himself- just...

    Should "...under God" stay or go?

    Considering the points Heron brought up, I'd have to say stay. Nobody is forced to say the pledge- it's important to consider it's intent, which is to pledge allegiance to the country of the United States, not to pledge your allegiance to a God of any sort. If you don't like that part, don't say...

    depression quesiton

    So, you keep coming back because you're afriad of your own death? Why do you want to die? I'm sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself, but if you could do you best to explain to me I'd be grateful. I only remember being suicidal once before. A few years ago my dad had a nasty heart attack...

    depression quesiton

    I don't usually share my age, because it tends to kill my credibility, but I'm also a sophmore in high school. I don't think you're really looking for advice, or a way back to God, or a motivational speech, I think you're just waiting to figure it out for yourself. Because really, if you were...

    Why so few Buddhists?

    I do not think their intent was to belittle- many people see Buddhism as a philosophy rather than as a religion.

    Why so few Buddhists?

    A Buddhist forum? Ah, no fun. An opposing view is always healthy. ;)

    depression quesiton

    Not really the place to be promoting Buddhism, but since you asked- About.com is a great resource to start with, and there are plenty of people in the Non-Christian Religion section perfectly willing to explain and answer questions. Personally, I have no position on suicide. Like anything...

    Help With My Iron...and Applique...PLEASE!

    I found on google that removing unwanted spots of web on fabric is done by placing scrap fabric over the spot and superheating the iron to get it to re-fuse onto the scrap. Perhaps the same can be done with the iron if it is put on a high setting, and held to the scrap fabric for a little bit...

    Colour in art

    When you think about it, any emotion can be shown in any color, though it's interesting to see their traditional meanings.

    depression quesiton

    When a person believes they'll die tomorrow, they tend to find a way to make it happen. Perhaps you should change your plan. Instead of seeking the answers, accept that you cannot find the answers, and the answers may come to you, unexpectedly. You are likely to find the meaning of life-...
