I am a product of an inter-racial marriage and I think it's a good thing. I have more than one cultural background to explore and appreciate and I think that's pretty cool :cool:

I've known others like you who have labelled themselves as agnostic with atheist leanings... not sure how that works for you?

Hmm... Bruce I'm really wondering how to answer you. My feelings about my own faith are strong, and from what I have read of the Bahai faith I could give you my reasons why I disagree with you... but that is not what this thread is about. Everyone was asked to give their personal reasons- the...

Thanks peaceful soul, those were my thoughts exactly when I read his post.

I agree there should never be malice when you're discussing relgion. The passage of scripture I quote here admonishes to do it with"gentleness and respect". But as to using examples from other holy books and religions I think that's perfectly valid. 1 Peter 3:15 (New International...

Been married 10 years.... First year: The only really rocky thing was that the home he owned was co-owned by his mom so we were living with his family. I wasn't happy. We didn't have fights per se, but it was just tough to settle in and be carefree. I hardly even wanted to be home. What...

I'm a Christian with Messianic leanings. Why? After researching other religions I've found that none of them come close. Christianity allows me to have direct access to the Creator of everything, a real relationship that I treasure. Other relgions also don't come close to the applicability of...

That link was great thanks so much! Anyone else have any to share?

Thanks for the kind words Snoochface. I know this topic is not festive at all, so I appreciate that you read it and responded :hug:

Last Wednesday a good friend of mine died very unexpectedly. She went into the hospital for a really bad cold, and after just four days of heavy sedation passed away from what turned out to be aggressive leukemia. Her husband (who is also a close friend) is crushed. They were married just four...

from a nutrional point of view, your hubby sounds completely under-nourished. His natural appetite may be suppressed because his system is so clogged up with garbage. Processed and refined foods are not good in small quantities never mind making them the staple of your diet. Personal question...

We're more independant in my family, his leans on each other a lot more. My family functions always end up with someone in tears from hurt feelings after a fight (usually me), his family functions are raucous feel good affairs where there are no debates

Hello :wave: Haven't been around in a while so this potluck is something nice to come back to :cool: I'll be bringing my rum laced eggnog pie with shortbread crust and my from scratch grilled artichoke and tapenade stuffed ravioli with creamy white wine sauce, for a yummy starter I'll be...

My parents are like this and it's very annoying. They swear they love each other, but I don't think it's healthy because they're just plain mean to one another sometimes. Actually it makes me sad .
