| Hallo, I'm female and from Canada. I studied mathematics, and I'm doing computer sciences as well. I like ice skating, and I'm trying to learn some German as well, so I won't mind more friends from Germany too (or German speaking countries); I could use the practice anyways. I also play the piano, a... |

| Ok, many Christians take their scriptures very literally. In their scriptures, it tells of an omnipresent (is everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omnibenevolent (morally perfect) God. However it does not mention of his intellect. For purposes of this thought, I will temporarily make the pos... |

Of course, if you want to be a part of it, that's none of my business, and that choice is entirely up to y... |

| What I find funny is that Liberal Christians are actually doing that. By selectively picking and choosing what they want to believe in from the bible, they are actually using their own criteria of what is good religion and what isn't--they may as well just be secularists anyways. |

| I don't believe in the supernatural. The supernatural, by definition defies all that is rational, and because the universe operates on rationally understood properties, the supernatural could not exist that way. If you were to consider something as being supernatural, but found evidence that it exis... |

I don't particularly care too much about the traffic; if people like to see it, they'll come back. If they don't, then they won't, and that's that. It's just sort of t... |

| It's probably because those are situations you are unfamiliar with, or might be attributed to the more social stuff that everyone else knows, yet, we're not instinctively born with. It's kind of like having Windows XP without Microsoft Word--XP works, but there are certain things you just don't know... |

| I'm not sure if I consider myself to have problems with emotions, but I do know that emotions are a problem themselves. It is because they make people do irrational things, and make the wrong choices, and because of that, I have always shunned them. I also don't think I was entirely in tune with my ... |

| My "Aspie" view of the world? Well, I would like to think that I'm mostly wired to think rationally, and if people act irrationally, it does bother me. Because I can't understand them or emotions, I don't connect with them, which is probably why I prefer a private life of solitude. And also because ... |

| I think we are still lonely because we don't know how to approach other people. Sure, we may have a lot in common, and it might be interesting, but we just don't know how to meet because we've become so accustomed to treating people the same way. That, and we have our own private lives--if we didn't... |

I used to be worried about that when I was a kid, but then I realized it wasn't all that important.
I'm actually still only "perfectionist" about art. |

| Well, that is what I meant. If you were to equate good/evil with useful/not useful, it would only apply to your view (and maybe a few others) of what is good/evil. But to other people, they believe good/evil to mean something else. But the morality of secularists need not be the same basis either, ... |
