Should we let her do it?

Bev1986 @Bev1986 (1425) • United States 5 Feb 07

My daughter came to us last week and said she wants to get the cartilage in her ear pierced. She already has two holes in each ear. She's a really good kid, and gets great grades. At first, I said yes. I figured a cute...

5berries I would make sure that she knew the consequences before she did it. What it will look like 20 years from now, the dangers of such a large piercing and it's placement, being restricted from some jobs for it, the social stigma, what else she could do with that...

First let me say I am an atheist. I am not "angry at God," "hate God," etc. I simply don't believe. I was around 11 when I thought of myself as an atheist for the first time. I grew up going to Christian churches, attending Young...

5berries I think that if when you do decide to put them in the same room, move the furniture in the morning, that way they have all day to explore and anticipate. Also, if you put a white noise machine in the room, like a fan or heartbeat sound, when the baby does...

Sin

BunGirl @BunGirl (2638) • United States 3 Dec 06

Do you believe that it is possible for any person (other than Christ) to live completely sin-free? Romans 3:23 says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." What do you think?

5berries The Bible also says we were born into sin. When Adam and Eve ate of the fruit, it mutated our genetics so that we could not be perfect. Our spirit is not in line with our body like it should be. So no one, not even babies can be perfect.

5berries I think Sign Language is the easiest to learn because most of us already use it to a degree in everyday life and it makes sense. It is easy for others to understand, even those who don't speak your native tongue.
