This might be a challenge where you live but in the south here that is just what you do. I say "Hi" to over a dozen people while on my runs... Most just say "Hi" back and that is it but a few stop and talk for a few minutes. Good Luck on your challenge there though...

Not everyone has a smart mother so this theory is out, my mother was not very educated and instead she liked to spend her time watching soap operas...

Educated women are better so you can connect mentally, someone who you can actually share things with and not have to explain everything. But each to his own...

One explanation as to why the people who were prayed for did not do as good is they might have not tried as hard to heal them self. Mental state has a lot to do with healing, if you give up on that because you think that a magical force will take care of everything then maybe they will not take their medication or eat like they are suppose to or something like that. I am sure there are other thoughts as to why the ones prayed for did worse than the ones that but that is just my thought off the top of my head...

The only thing you might hurt is the little bubble that you call faith or religion, science and philosophy is about reason and logic. Posting in here as a christian or any other faith is fine with me as long as you stick to the facts and not fall back on faith or fairy tales. But honestly it is sounding like this is your way to back out of this topic that you started because you realized that you were not going to win if you had to leave faith out of the equation.

If you want to finish this topic in here that is fine but out of courtesy of others I would not go into a church to argue the ignorance of the religions so I also stay out of the religion section here also...

Looks good, now you just have to take care of it. I am sure they told you how to do that. Personally I like Lubriderm the best...

I agree with you posting the message, since you are unsure of what to do here and asking for others to help it is better to see what she actually wrote... it is not like her name is on here or anything. It is how she wrote it that screams the crazy needy person, if you were to paraphrased it then it might not have came across the same.

As others said here...RUN!...lol. I would give her a response though unless you want to deactivate your account and move away from everything she knows about you, the neediness in her message might be just the tip of the iceberg and she has a lot more crazy that she is not showing you so I would be careful with your words. You met her in person so you should know her better but she might have been on her meds during the date but wrote that off her meds. Good Luck...lol

I guess everyone is a little different, some people just say "hi" and that is enough to start the conversation (maybe they only write that to see if the profile is still active). Others might write a book. To the wrong person both options might be ignored, the one for being too short and the other for being too long...lol. I guess it all depends on the mood of the person receiving the message...

I would say neither.

Objective means that it is trying to accomplish something but truth has already accomplished all it is going to do, it is finished.

Subjective means it is in one's mind, the truth about something in one's mind could be subjective only because they might not have all the facts.

But actual truth is undisputable, right or wrong it is what happened.

LOL...Now you are in 2 science threads claiming "Jesus" is real without any proof. If you want people to blindly believe in that you need to be in the religious section...

I am afraid you do not understand how science works...

You come up with your hypothesis, then do your experiment. If your hypothesis does not fail in your own experiments then you can claim it is a theory. That is when you present it to others to test, if they can not make your theory fail then it can be considered a scientific theory until it does fail or something like that.

So we are waiting for you to present your theory then we can test it...

...And just what are we looking at but not touching to your satisfaction here?...lol

Yes, because all the homeless would get a mansion if only they believed in Jesus?...lol

Instead of waiting to see if anyone randomly counters your case, why not set it on the table as we have here with our words instead of just telling us to have faith that you actually have a good case. It is only fair I think...

If you take faith out of the mix, it will come down like proving Santa Claus exists. From a myth/legend a story was born and has snowballed up into a mass following that the majority of the people just except and play along with because it is nice to read the story books and feel there is some good in this world. That is why religion needs to rely on faith because there is no other way to prove it...

It also depends on the one doing the tattoo. Some people are better than others, it is in their technique...

A couple of mine I had drew myself and then found someone to do them. One is a flaming skull with carb butterfly's for eyes (in my profile) and the other is a simple Harley Davidson shield with Yosemite Sam riding it like a bucking bronco. The skull is because I do a lot with auto racing and it will probably be the death of me (it has tried plenty of times) and the Harley one I did after putting together my Chopper but I did not want it to be just the shield and I wanted it to show a playful side I guess.

The other ones I have I brought in pictures of what I wanted, and kind of how I wanted them combined. Like this part of one picture but this part of a different picture...then let the artist draw a few different ideas up until we were on the same page as to what I was looking for. The more you can bring in the more it will help.

I do not like any of the pics of me but I try to make sure they are at least recent enough that they still look like the guy in the mirror here...

I wear sandals in the summer here, they are more comfortable and easy to deal with. Plus I get a cool double stripe tan on my feet...lol

I never thought of myself as an alcoholic, but others did. From the drinker's view I never thought that I had a problem, but drinking for breakfast is not good. Looking back I know I lost friends because of my drinking, but there were a few that stuck with me. I went through some programs (I did not volunteer for them) but they did not work because I was not ready to quit. It took a bad accident to wake me up and get my head straight so I did not feel like I needed a drink anymore. That might be what he needs, a wake up. But when I was drinking, there were people who still cared for me but while I was drinking I knew not to come around their house because they talked to me about it (probably a few times). Now that I do not drink any more we are still friends but those that wrote me off I have not heard from. I guess the question is do you really want to cut all ties or just help fix the behavior?

I have a few tattoos, and I figure I will get more.

I had a tongue ring for a while when I lived in Germany but it got old fast so I let that grow shut...
