Is God real?

But does SHE know? Hmmmmm.....

Naw, she is so self-involved that I wager that she doesn't.

I have a couple of transfer addictions: shopping and monitoring communication skills. I was loitering on the Christian site and it seems that a belief in Jesus has ruined the believers' ability to communicate in credible English. Why is this? Do they also write in tongues????

That is just the product of homeschooling when you have no business homeschooling. I am all for it if you are qualified but if you are dumb as a doornail your kids will probably not make it much farther.

Thanks for the answer. This makes sense. It would be interesting to know what proportion of these kids go on to university and how well they fare once they are there. Or does a belief in God preclude higher studies? I guess the answer is as with the computer: garbage in, garbage out.

Who is that weirdo guy that writes text books for fundie fanatics to home school? I can't remember his name, I always think of him as Rev. BillyBob. I'm drawing a blank. Those books are nothing short of frightening... not to mention wrong.

I would post my blog address here but I suspect that it would offend too many people.

I will PM with the address.

please send as well - love to read it.

i had typed up a reply here, but LBT ate it when i hit submit.

anyway - readers digest:

i was raised roman catholic (still am), with a jewish mother. i have "faith" in god - but have never relied on the bible or organized religion to beat it into me as "fact". i just do. i considered my religious upbringing as great story telling (catholics are good at pagentry) and i enjoyed it. after my brothers and i were confirmed, my parents said they did their part - we know what time mass is & if we wanted to go .. great , if we wanted to explore other religions or none at all - fine.

i had a better post the first time; but i enjoy this topic & other views - except those on ignore.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
