    I Need Help !!!

    So we're both suburbans. Awesome. Now, as for your father's story, I assure you, that all things which happen in Nature, are often outside of our own control. Then only thing we can control are our own opinions, judgments, desires, and aversions. The rest? If it's an external matter, we...

    Pedophile At The Door

    Ordinarily, I'd say, forgive the guy... But because the crime was committed while he was going door to door selling stuff, you're right, he needs to find a new line of work. Unfortunately, there's not too many jobs out there being offered to sex offenders and those with felonies on...

    "Young Men Who Smoke Have Lower IQs, Study Finds"

    Isn't this one stating the obvious? Anyone who actually picks up smoking to begin with is obviously someone with a lower IQ.

    Binding your own Bible..what would you include?

    Personally, i'd just throw them all in there. I'd have the standard canonical KJV in one section, then, accepted apocrypha of the Catholic and Orthodox churches in the next, and then in the last section, I'd just fill it up with every ancient apocryphal text known to historians. True or not...

    Conversion to the Eastern Orthodox faith

    It's not for me. I have no interests in joining the Orthodox faith personally. I'm just a student of religion and recently have noticed that Catholics ask adult converters to their faith to take a long period of time of study before baptism. I'm just a tolerant, seeking, student of all religions.

    I'm not a Catholic, but I love Catholicism...

    I was asking out of curiosity. I am a student of religion. I'm glad you're so observant of my online activity. Furthermore, if that bothers you, you should see some of the questions I've posted elsewhere. They're worse.

    Ending an "unequally yoked" relationship - the "how" of it, not "why"

    If you must end a relationship just over religion, then I say, show the guy some mercy and do it as quickly and painlessly as possible. Sit down with it, end it, and don't even stay friends with him after that, or you'll just further his pain.

    Conversion to the Eastern Orthodox faith

    I'm curious, is there any conversation processes one would have to go to in order to convert to the Eastern Orthodox faith? Like the Catholics? Also, if there is a process, does it differ if one is already a member of a Christian church? Thank you. -Shawn-

    I wonder, does anyone have to go through any conversion processes like what goes on at the Catholic church to become an Orthodox?

    What is the best form of contraception?

    Yes. Exactly! it doesn't feel like love-making when there's a condom. It just feels like you're having sex with a condom.

    A conservative unitarian? I thought I'd never see the day.
