Is God real?

But does SHE know? Hmmmmm.....

Naw, she is so self-involved that I wager that she doesn't.

I have a couple of transfer addictions: shopping and monitoring communication skills. I was loitering on the Christian site and it seems that a belief in Jesus has ruined the believers' ability to communicate in credible English. Why is this? Do they also write in tongues????

That is just the product of homeschooling when you have no business homeschooling. I am all for it if you are qualified but if you are dumb as a doornail your kids will probably not make it much farther.

Thanks for the answer. This makes sense. It would be interesting to know what proportion of these kids go on to university and how well they fare once they are there. Or does a belief in God preclude higher studies? I guess the answer is as with the computer: garbage in, garbage out.

Who is that weirdo guy that writes text books for fundie fanatics to home school? I can't remember his name, I always think of him as Rev. BillyBob. I'm drawing a blank. Those books are nothing short of frightening... not to mention wrong.

I would post my blog address here but I suspect that it would offend too many people.

I will PM with the address.

please send as well - love to read it.

i had typed up a reply here, but LBT ate it when i hit submit.

anyway - readers digest:

i was raised roman catholic (still am), with a jewish mother. i have "faith" in god - but have never relied on the bible or organized religion to beat it into me as "fact". i just do. i considered my religious upbringing as great story telling (catholics are good at pagentry) and i enjoyed it. after my brothers and i were confirmed, my parents said they did their part - we know what time mass is & if we wanted to go .. great , if we wanted to explore other religions or none at all - fine.

i had a better post the first time; but i enjoy this topic & other views - except those on ignore.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
