YES! I would think that people who were religious would be railing against this instead of embracing it. Aren't most religions supposed to be based on love?
Exactly!! I am a Christian and am almost embarrassed to say that at times, because we are not all homophobes! I always point out to other so called Christians that Jesus' whole message was LOVE, love everyone, not only the ones just like you.....0 -
Only if you love the things they preach. *runs and hides before people read this and get offended*
It's not even that simple. I have some concurrent beliefs with them, but they don't care because I don't love the right gender. It makes me so uncomfortable passing by the little stands on the street where they hand out pamphlets because I am... privileged (?) enough to pass as straight and they smile at me- but I know they would have something different to say if they knew.0 -
Here. I made brownies. Let's all get along...and eat brownies....with ice cold milk....MMMMMmmmmmmm!

ETA: I kind of feel bad about posting this. Disclaimer: I know that not everyone in every religion is bad I do have some bitterness toward organized religion however, based on things I've experienced.
Same here, which is why I'm staying out of that discussion!0 -

You had me at brownies, but milk grosses me out....
I always thought it was messed up that most people have no problem drinking the milk of another species, even though we are the only animal that routinely does that......0 -

Mmmmkay, I don't even like chocolate, but I'll jump on the brownie band-wagon just to avoid this thread imploding. I am enjoying the discussions, of course, but from experience, once religion and race are brought up, things tend to go downhill. Thanks for the effort @quiksylver296!0 -

I turned on Tarzan Boy Radio and it's basically the best 80's pop music ever. . ..
99 Luft Balloon's is on right now.
Let me start by saying I am not offended by music by a black artist using the N word.....I do find it odd that you, being a white male, would say the N word is not offensive because you do not give it power.....it was not your group of people that was oppressed with it....
I'm not judging, I'm playing Devil's Advocate.
By your logic, I shouldn't be annoyed by people using the R-word because I'm not considered mentally deficient, but I CAN dislike anything being "bastardized" as I am a child born out of wedlock.
I agree @CountessKitteh I've never understood how it's okay for specific groups of people people to use a word and others it's not. All those derogatory words should be offensive and off limits to all people. Period.0 -

It's not only that. There's also a lot of hate directed at the poor. I mean, Jesus was all about helping the less fortunate, right?0 -

Sometimes you have to do that.
No guilt-keep moving forward.0 -

So many in fact: I'll sneak preview my first name: Derek.
I somehow already knew this. Why is that?
First names thread? I usually introduce myself when I send Friend Requests as well.
I think it was something to do with an earlier discussion on nicknames, I don't think you actually said it, but it must have been inferable (I'm making that a word now if it's not already) as I felt I knew it too.0 -

Exactly! I do not follow any one church because of all these reasons, I am part of a movement called The Christian Left and have been since before I knew it was a movement lol.
I truly believe that if Jesus came back to Earth today, it would be so called Christians that would be the first to call for him to be killed again!0 -

You think that won't get judgmental or contentious?! ;-)
My confession: I was supposed to go to the dentist for a cleaning yesterday, but lied and claimed a conflict had come up when my dentist called to confirm/make sure I was willing to see a different person than I normally do, since I think they had doublebooked. The call gave me the idea, so I was like "oh, I don't mind, hmm, but if it's more convenient for you I can change." She said: "oh, no, let's keep it, we don't have any appointments available 'til August." I all of a sudden found myself saying "but tomorrow will be really stressful as it happens, I have a conflict that came up, August is okay," and so I moved it.
I was originally supposed to go in January but did basically the same thing.
I have stupid dentist fear (in part due to a terrible childhood dentist) that I need to get over already.

I feel like my friends resent me for losing weight when I am a lot smaller than they are. I am pals with a few of them on here, so when I have a success, like today, I feel like I'm rubbing it in their face, which is not my intention, but I also want to be able to share my victories too. It's a double edged sword for sure.
In addition to this, I feel like if they worked half as hard as I do, counting calories accurately, and doing some sort of exercise, they'd have successes too, but they don't want to put in the effort. I feel like a terrible friend for feeling that way, but it's true. I guess I'm not a great friend or good wife sometimes.
Don't feel bad! It's not your fault that they aren't working hard and they should not make you feel bad for everything you're doing for yourself! Don't let it get you down.
They don't seem like really good friends if they make you feel this way. They should be able to take your success and do it for themselves!
I agree with this! Plus, they should view it as motivation. I addition to this I have a chart I track my sister and friend on that I send out daily. For a long time I was losing and they weren't. Now I gained a bit and am stagnant, and I use that chart to totally focus on making progress...as I am competitive and seeing them lose and me not makes me NUTS! (in a good way). 0 -
I consider "water" anything that is water based- mio, sparkling water, any of the 0 cal drinks (such as vitamin water)- that way I get my "water intake" in for the day. HOWEVER, coffee and alcohol does NOT count.0
