    Why do you need christians for support? LOL. That makes absolutely zero sense.

    Why is it so weird that people seek out other people with similar beliefs or interests. It is no different than people posting looking for people of similar age, or dieting styles, or workout preference...

    For the wages of sin is death. A wage is something that you have worked for and due. Don't call God unfair when he only gives you what you are owed. One's non acceptance of something that is true does not negate its truth. Truth is ALWAYS true even before it has been discovered. At one time science thought the world to be flat once they discovered the truth they changed their position.

    This kind of stuff scares the hell out of me....

    I do agree with you on your last sentence though....although your premise is flawed ("science" never thought the world was flat), the point is science changes when presented with new evidence. I absolutely agree with this statement. That's why it's a better method for discovering truth than religion, which claims to know truth with no evidence, and even IN SPITE of evidence in many cases. Science isn't a body of knowledge...it's a process for explaining and describing the universe....and the best one we have at the moment.

    I agree that science is flawed due to its access to total information. Unfortunately, some people see science as unerring like some might see the bible and they make science their religion.

    My bible tells me to Love God with all my heart, soul and MIND. God does not want blind faith. He has given evidence for his existence. But it is more in legal evidence (eyewitnesses, historical, testimony) Paul said "Come let us reason together" as he would go to the synagogue and present his case for God to the Jews.

    You say that science is better for discovering truth but what if the scientist is flawed being that he will be looking for something that supports his worldview. We all do it, we claim open-mindedness and tolerance but really not so much.

    Though I am a follower of the Lord of light, I do have to point out that what you said is a common fallacy towards science. Science is evidence-based belief; people do not worship it, they adhere to it because it is most true to our understanding. If science is flawed, it changes and grows as we learn more. Don't set-up a strawman for how science functions or how people that respect science view it.

    You can add me if you want! One thing I learned through losing the weight was that I was turning to food in tough times instead of putting my faith and trust in God.

    Hi, I'm Pennie and I have several health issues and need to lose weight. I've been on a 1200-1400 calorie diet since January and have lost 20 lbs. It doesn't seem like much to me but all my health care professionals think i'm doing good because my mobility is very limited. I'm a Christian and would love to have more friends to keep me motivated and from being discouraged.

    It's kind of like if you're into crossfit and your looking for others who do crossfit too, who can support you. - I hope that helps. :smile:

    It's actually nothing like that.

    Non-religious Jew here - I don't 'friend' (or 'un-friend') due to religious beliefs............

    I look for common weight loss goals -

    And/or liberal-minded beings................

    And the "burns" keep coming... Thanks for your thoughts--not sure I could go on without them.
