Cats have been easier to raise and tend to, but DOOOOOOGS!!! They are too darn loving and wonderful.

Abortion is legal on a federal level. I believe most states have it as legal.

1. Every human being has the right to choose what they do involving their own body.
2. Life begins at conception. Once the sperm meets the egg it is a human life.

3. People also have the right to choose not to have sex, buy condoms, and go to CPC's and receive alternate means of health care.

I'm not a woman and have no idea the immensity of a choice like getting an abortion. My wife and I can't conceive again because it is too dangerous for her after having two C sections. I hope whatever decision is made for that woman, that feels she needs one, that she is taken care of properly and treated with respect.

White shores and beyond a far green country to a swift sunrise.
Well, that's not so bad.
No, no it isn't."

Once upon a time, there were two pixies that were best friends.

Google search. "Talk to strangers" and BAM first site that came up.

@sumof1 Maybe there is a problem with how you asked your question. Maybe ask, "I have my opinions and arguments, but do you think homosexuality is natural by birth or a choice?" Then you ask, "If it IS a choice what is being done to encourage change?" Instead you ask the internet to do your research for you and bash those, who you invited btw, that provide you with information into the subject.

Writing, trading cards, video games, walking, and going out to a good movie

Gollum hunting me. Creepy AF no matter how old you are. 😖😖😖

@GS1188 hope you find her!

So a few days ago I met an amazing young woman who I really connected with. I miss her. I don't know if she'll remember my real name, Jacob. Jenn (or Jenny) my pessimist friend... I miss you.

@mrmatt88 I say you made the right call for yourself. Her actions made you uncomfortable, you don't seem to have a good feeling about her intentions, and you set your limit.
As a married man, I have been the one to put strain on our marriage. Almost 8 years together now. I do my best to be open about my needs.
I think a cheater is always a cheater if they keep hiding what they want and don't communicate how they feel.

I think there are different stages and levels of love and it can vary from person to person.
Like, I love my wife and I show her that love by doing chores, talking with her and asking for her help and advice, and through sexual intimacy.
We have two kids and I show them love by playing, reading stories, making cookies, and giving them responsibility.
There are mistaken feelings of love that are really infatuation or lustful. Feeling strongly toward someone and labeling that emotion incorrectly as love. Or being with an abusive person, refusing to leave them because you feel they will get better, and they keep saying "I love you" and continue to be abusive.
Love encompasses so much it is hard to pin down.

@thestrangest Gotcha. Thank you

@thestrangest When did science begin and can you give me examples of atheists before science?

@thestrangest You were debating me? I thought we were sharing ideas? I'm not trying to be facetious, by the way.
At no point did I say you were wrong or that I was right, and vise versa. I didn't say, "I know 100% for sure that God exists", you have been saying to us believers, "you have no proof and there is no proof, therefore God doesn't exist." Belief, though it can be mislead, is defined as:

1. an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.
2. trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something.
   You don't accept the existence of God. Why? Because peer reviewed scientists, smart men and women, have unequivocally proved life's process. From the big bang theory through the theory of evolution. They didn't prove God exists.
   I believe the big bang theory. I believe the theory of evolution. To the best of my knowledge I didn't once renounce them. Also, I'm not asking you to believe in God. It's not your desire nor your prerogative. I respect that and won't ask you to pray to invisible sky daddy. Which ever one is out there.
   I come here to share ideas, not prove my prowess in intellectual debate. I'm not good at debating. I'm sure you have seen that.
   I appreciate you and the detail you put into our discussions... debates, I guess. Haha.

@thestrangest According to man. What better way to manipulate than to have people believe that they are insignificant? If man created God than we are creatures with self appointed purpose existing on a blue planet somewhere in a universe of energy.
If man is created by God, than we are all sons and daughters of a superior being with a divine purpose to inherit all that God has.
But that's just a theory, I suppose.

@pinkfloyd most, if not all, atheists only claim to not know for sure if God exists. They may err on the side of "probably not" and science gives conceivable answers to many of life's questions. Purpose, morality, connection are all subjective and therefore unreliable in debate. If you believe in God, hold to that. For someone to not agree is not the end of the world.
