You are beautiful. :)

I'm bald on top through genetics. I love my shaved head, so much less product and work. I can't comment on cancer and what it's like to go through chemo. I hope the treatment is what you need and it helps! Great strength to you

It was amazing! Best video game movie I've seen.

@thestrangest All wonderful points that decimate conventional theism with testing, logic, and reason. I am grateful for the input and information you have provided and I'm really impressed with how detailed you are. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as sarcastic, I don't want to. I have questioned my faith many times. Believe it or not, I have. Indoctrination is only as good an argument if someone hasn't questioned and sought other answers. Out of all my options, out of all the information I can be provided, it wasn't a book that proved to me that God is real. Not an invisible sky daddy, but a real personage. I'm not here to convince anybody of anything. If you know God isn't real, good. People are good and people are bad regardless of God. That, I'm sure, we at least agree. Thank you again for not ripping my ass apart.

I believe that people have a soul. I believe that after I die that I will be in a spiritual state here on Earth. Then, when the time comes, I will be judged and go to my Eternal home, be it heaven or hell.

My biggest question to anyone that doesn't believe in God is, "If science supports 'survival of the fittest' as a base means of living (I'm stronger, wealthier, attractive therefore I succeed) then where does good and evil/right and wrong come from?" Why did we feel bad about taking something from someone that wasn't ours, that we didn't earn? Why do we feel guilty? I focus on the negative connotation because accomplishment feels good whether you did something right or wrong. It is the guilty feeling that interests me. Right and wrong only hold up for humanity as far as social constructs. It is very rare to find animals with similar behaviors of justice. Different factors and variables are always allowed, but with human history it is a constant. Right and wrong. Either faking a deity is WAY too easy or people have to be incredibly stupid. I mean really, really, really stupid. It doesn't make sense. What does make sense, to me, is feeling something in my heart that is beyond me. If I have a problem and I can't figure it out so I pray and get an answer later that helps... Was I that smart to figure it out on my own or was it inspiration? If you don't believe in God, I'm okay with that. I believe that I have a loving Heavenly Father. I believe He knows me and loves me. I believe that God loves all His children. I invite anyone, if they want to, to pray and ask God if He is there. Really mean it, pray with real intent. It may not be immediate, it may take a moment, but I know that if you are genuine that you will receive an answer. Don't take silence either. Silence has always told me I'm not doing enough.

We named our son Jack and our daughter Claire. Both names carry sentimental value as well as being cool names.

I feel like that just doesn't make sense. I've seen, "I'm looking for friends, but xxx is good too" (paraphrasing), and I think... Interesting. So I look at the person and they have like 30 followers but are following 0...

"can kindness change the world?" In my opinion it has multiple times. The whole world at once? No. It seems to be gradual. Could it now? I don't think so. Kindness is linked to selflessness and it feels like the world is a bit selfish.

Personality and looks change over time. Personality is usually more consistent. Looks play a big part in attraction.

In the case of this idiot guy, he has a bad personality by putting judgement on looks based off of incorrect stereotypes. Were YOU attracted to him before you realized what a jerk he was?

Main point: looks are not always as important as personality.

@3am hello :)

My worst internal struggle is fighting the urge to be unfaithful. Whether it's through images, checking out a woman longer than I should, or straight up thinking, "man, I want someone else!", it is a constant battle. How I deal with it is being open about it with my woman. Telling her how I feel. Sometimes it is a serious conversation that might end rough, but most of the time we just let it out and move on. Just because you are fighting internally doesn't mean you can't have backup.

Agreed about the tags. Ridiculous

I love random chat because it's, well, random. I start talking to someone and they ask a question, I answer... And almost a minute goes by. Please be sure that if you are chatting with someone, be polite and don't get distracted. If you need a break, let the person know. Am I alone in thinking this?

@thegoddess the craziest thing about me is that I do voices. All different kinds, dialects, and can mimic a lot of popular characters. If I practice enough it is uncanny.

@stanger_danger if you are a reptiles in a "Fallout" setting... You'll fit right in.

@ellielee I agree. Sometimes I feel like I'm 90% myself... But that last 10% is bad, weird, or inappropriate. To an extent it is true. We have conditioned ourselves in society to have a level of "acceptable". Anything outside of that you have to justify. Even if it's not THAT bad.

Oh, that's what that box is haha.
