"Anything less than immortality is a complete waste of time!" ~ Bender I haven't always been an atheist. In fact there was a point in my life in which I was looking into attending seminaries instead of colleges. At that point, the reason for living was to serve God and do as He commanded... or so I thought. Here I am, just…

Just wanted to say "Hi"! Been on MFP for a while now. Trying to bring myself to exercise more.

Just over a newborn giraffe. woah.

If your intake is less than your BMR, then you will lose. I would take a look into your sodium intake. It can make you retain water leading to an increase on the scale. I can personally gain or lose up to about 2 lbs of water weight daily. I found I get more reliable weight ins if I can keep my sodium around 2,300.…

Second pic is way too big! To see the whole thing, right click and open in new tab.

If you're looking for a drug, I don't know of any. But you can research Leptin. It's a hormone that you body generates and uses as an appetite suppressant.

Wheeling, West Virginia. West Virginia, as in the state. Not western Virginia. We've been here for a while now. You don't know how many people don't know about us.

I saw somewhere that the national average was size:16, men's ideal was size:12, and women's ideal was size:4 - 8. Personally, I like size: "Not a crazy *****". :P Seriously, I think "sexy" or "attractive" changes as the norms change. But I don't know why so many people are getting on you for wanting to be more attractive.…

Who says you shouldn't weigh in daily. I have learned a lot about my body by doing just that! Also, AWESEOME!

YES! Not all the time anymore, but I get cold way more often than I used to. My room is the warmest in the house.

You look great!!! Awesome job!

I'm not very athletic, but I know all to well how depression can screw with you and how that can effect everything else. I'll be here for you.

HOLY ****! O_O You have won. After something like that, what the **** can you NOT do?

Money.

Laying on either side. Under side arm tucked up under the pillow, top side arm all willy-nilly. Top side leg slightly forward, under side leg slightly back, almost like I'm running.

I have lost a lot of weight and I feel like I'm going to die every time I try. Good for you. (Maybe I have asthma...)

Mine is set to 1500. I don't want to go under that. 1500 is a minimum a male should have from what I have read, but some days I find it hard to eat that much. I'm still losing at a good pace.

Android. So much more ability to customize the phone to you. Android is actually more widely used than iOS currently (however iPhone is more popular). Hardware also turns over faster, meaning odds are you are going to get the latest tech if you buy high end Androids. Besides, it's Google. And Google rocks!!! But if you…

Just curious. How would you handle our massive global population?

We already covered this, it is a legal union before a religious one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage Marriage predates most modern religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Also, the passage of a marriage equality bill would not force churches to perform homosexual marriage or stop prejudice. Churches…

Ok, I'm out for a while. Live Long and Prosper!

They are meant to protect against discrimination against aspects you can not control, like race, gender, religion, etc. Those goes back to the argument whether homosexuality if a choice or not. I was arguing for "Not a choice", your seemed to be arguing "Is a choice". We can't get to this debate till we finish that one.

"But anyone who says 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell." (Jesus) Mat 5:22 "You blind fools!" (Jesus) Mat 23:17 We already covered where religion belongs in this matter. It doesn't.

I still disagree. I think the only reason we behave the way we do is because it is greater benefit to use to do so. Which is also the driving factor for many animals. And believe it or not, we have more evidence to support evolution theory than gravity theory. However, if you insist that we are not animals, simply don't…

You have those protections as a federal employee. Not otherwise the state needs to provide them. http://www.eeoc.gov/federal/otherprotections.cfm

Well those apes did take in... "(tarzan excluded)" damn... It doesn't matter if they do any of those. We are the same product. If we want to know if homosexuality is biological, then we have to look at the process leading to our existence, which incorporates the natural world we live in. That includes animal behavior.

Not Christian bashing, but religion has nothing to do with this. It's purely a legal matter. I wrote earlier in the thread, and cited, marriage has existed long before the Bible, or Torah for that matter. Also, it is illegal and against our Freedom of Religion in the US to base decision on a federal level based purely on a…

Tempt fate. Okay. I guess if we won't let a homosexual couple raise children, we should also stop single parents from raising them since they can't do the job well enough on their own. It's nice to have both parents but it causes no significant damage to a persons mental state. http://youtu.be/MLnn96n3Lpg

As an atheist, I take no credible evidence from the Bible or any other religious text. So you provide some good science as to why you want to prevent people from living happy, healthy lives with their families and I will listen.

Give me evidence close to what I provided you as to the harm of homosexual behavior. Please.
