Nickiek I like the quote. Where does it come from? What I get out of it is something like this... Life is art. We are art. What we make with our life in the end will be our masterpiece. Or perhaps the critics will be more harsh. But no matter what genre you use to...

Do you think faith is a necessary component to atheism?

howhigh @howhigh (757) • Canada 24 Apr 07

maybe the question is better put by asking who makes the bigger leap of faith the monk or the atheist?

atheism

Nickiek Interesting question... and the best answer I can give is that I believe Atheists don't have faith... I think they have fear. Fear is the opposite of faith. I believe that Atheists are so afraid that there really is a God that they reject faith out of fear not...

Is there a meaningful difference between drug use and abuse?

howhigh @howhigh (757) • Canada 24 Apr 07

Do the legalities of the situation come into play? How much? I think i could defend that any sort of drug use is like a crutch, but then a lot of things can be fashioned that way. What becomes abuse? Or am I way off...

Nickiek Well I know that some drugs are worse than others, and that some addictions are more harmful. But as far as the difference? Can a person use meth and not be abusive with it? So I think the question is a little vague. Alcohol for example is a drug. People go...

Nickiek I have eaten snake. I can't really remember what it tasted like. Chicken I think. Different texture though. Dog or cat? If I was starving I would probably eat anything. But I would really need to be starving! They are pets not food. Yeah if I had a choice...

Nickiek I would rather see a mother nursing her baby than hear a hungry baby cry! Why don't you ship the lawmakers of your state off to a middle eastern country where it is illegal for women to show their faces in public. And we call ourselves a civilized society?...

Nickiek I guess I was a tomboy because I liked sports. I enjoyed competition. I was active and hated staying home, and liked camping and fishing. I hated dresses because you had to be careful not to get them dirty and couldn't hang upside down on the monkey bars in...

howhigh @howhigh (757) • Canada 27 Apr 07

Many opeople do but if you do i would ask how do you tell what is because of fate? If everythign is because of fate then thining on those terms seems kind've fruitless becasue why woudl i do anything if it is all predestined?

Nickiek I don't necessarily believe in luck or fate. What I do believe in is that there is a higher power (however you define Him) who wants the best for us. So he is constantly trying to get us into a position to receive the best. I believe he brings people and...

Nickiek There isn't a green, red, purple or blue veggie I don't like. However I don't get enough of them, and I prefer cooked vegetables over raw unless I'm eating a salad.

Nickiek I don't know! I'm still trying to figure it out. My pediatrician said that when I started feeding my girls, to introduce sweet foods last. Maybe this can help. He said that introducing kids to meats and vegetables first is the way to go. We always think of...

Nickiek Sounds like your daughter really respects your opinion and feels as if you are a lifeline for her. I still go to my mom for advise and to rant. Cause I know she has to love me. She's my mom! Mostly she probably just needs to hear an adult voice of reason, and...

Is it unfair to baptize children?

howhigh @howhigh (757) • Canada 27 Apr 07

I suppose it isn't especially binding but its a very religious ceremony without their consent. I'm not mad at my parents for baptizing me even though i'm agnostic but it is a bit presumptious.

Nickiek I believe that baptism is a personal decision that each should make for themselves. Jesus himself wasn't baptized until he was 30 or so. It implies consent, free will and personal choice. I believe that children don't need to be baptised because they have not...
