Oh, and as to your "Have you read the Bible at all, Sheila?" snide
remark, yes, I have.

Not only that, I've been a Christian since I was five years old. We
don't think of God as merely this "separate entity in the sky." We are
"children" of God and are made IN HIS IMAGE, so I hardly think that that
makes us "separate" from Him.

I understand what you mean, and I think that that's putting God in human
terms. I guess my counterpoint would be that, because He IS God, He has
the *right* to be "egotistical."

I'm on a strict deadline today and don't have time to elaborate right
now, so I hope that what I said is relatively clear.

To state that God is "egotistical" is putting Him on the same level with
human beings, which is a totally skewed perception of Him, IMO.

Pucks, I totally agree with you.

You wanna be my YARDBOY???

A massage is a rather intimate thing to happen for a first date, IMO. I
would think a massage would most likely lead to "other things."

A hug or a kiss would be more appropriate, but if I didn't really like
the guy "in that way" then I'd be reluctant to even give him a hug. Of
course a handshake is rather "unemotional," too, so maybe a quick hug
and a "Thanks for the nice time" would work.

I have typically dated Caucasians, but as far as attraction goes,
Hispanic/Latino men ...oh my gawddd!!! Absolutley gorgeous, many of
them! Generally, though, I like the typical "tall, dark and handsome,"
with varying shades of "dark."

Dark brown or black hair and blue or green eyes is very attractive, as
well as brown.

The men I'm least attracted to would be blonds, redheads, grey or bald,
but there are always exceptions.

As far as men attracted to me? Doesn't really seem to be a particular
race or coloring, but I was/am rather surprised at how many men shorter
than me seem to be attracted to me.

I've dated several guys shorter, however, and it was evident after a
while that they were uncomfortable with my being taller than them. I
don't know why they even wanted to date me in the first place. I guess
they figured the height difference didn't matter if we were horizontal.
Go figure.

I've found that a lot men are far more sensitive, but less likely to
show it outwardly to the general public.

Plus, I think most people equate being sensitive with being "able" or
likely to cry. I think other emotions can indicate sensitivity, like
anger, for instance, which is an emotion men are more likely to express,
because it's considered "macho."

Oh, more than...anything. Doncha know.

Pretty much all day, but not in the drooling, "Gotta get me some or I'll
go stark-raving mad" kinda way.

Yes, I wear PJs or sleep shirt, or shorts and tee...SOMETHING.

If the house catches on fire, I'll be damned if I'm going to run outside
nekkid.

'sides, i have to wear socks to bed cuz my feet feel funny without
'em...and i'd look pretty stupid wearing socks and nothing else

Ely, your intellectual point of view is fascinating, especially since
you are so young!

Thanks for your posts; they are very well expressed.

Abra, we Christians don't think that God is a "separate entity in the
sky," either.

not lately, no

I is ratcheer!

To call me "right-wing" is a laughable statement, to say the least.

But my point is, Abra is obviously CONVINCED he KNOWS that the God of
the Bible is false. He makes claims as if to say that he has it all
figured out: that he knows this to be a FACT.

For "XXX number of years, people have believed in God" and all this time
those of us who do have been "duped?"

I say, if you're going to make such strong claims, you should have
evidence to prove that He DOES NOT exist...either that, or state your
opinion, but don't act as though you are stating facts.

Usually, I will say that it's not necessary to post that one is stating
an opinion, because it's obvious by the content that they are.

And in his case, I suppose you could say that is also true.

But *some* people might get the idea, from his words, that what he is
saying is, in fact, true, because he doesn't really claim that what he
is saying is merely a "theory" of his.

Of course, he or anyone else is free to believe what they want to
believe; and, I might add, you have NEVER seen me "shoving religion"
down anyone's throat.

Believe what you will, but don't make suppositions that people who
believe in God are "clueless" and don't have enough "common sense" or
logical reasoning capabilities to have figured out "the truth."

M'kay? Thanks.

Well, sort of. Kinda to the west of that other place, actually.

I dunt take no medicine...think it might be time to start?

Love is like two trains crossing paths at the same time, one having left
Cleveland at 4:30 pm and traveling approximately 100 miles per hour, the
other having departed Seattle at 1:10 am, traveling about 55 miles per
hour.

Woo woo!

I think it's a pretty darn significant thing that you've
done..."figuring out" that God (the God of the Bible that most
"God-believing" people consider "God") is a "farce."

Don't you think the world deserves to know this "scientific, fact-based,
logical conclusion" you've come to? Have you contacted The Times or
perhaps ABC News with your discovery?

Sarcasm only SOMEWHAT intended....aside from that, I hope you see the
point in my statements.
