.I want to dress modest
.I don't want to commit willing sin, I do just like everyone else but I am purposely trying not to
.I want to live by values and morals and not just wild and untamed
.I don't feel guilt over having children out of wedlock and I do not consider it a sin if two people want to raise children together without being married
.I for myself want marriage and believe in being completely obedient to your husband if... (he tries to live a moral and good life, if he doesn't then marrying him would be pointless he would have to be on the same path and page)
.I don't think its wrong to be gay, lesbian, bisexual,
.I think everyone is equal despite how much money they have but I would stay away from people who did things that really went against my views e.g. drugs, alcohol abuse, child abusers etc.
I believe in something higher than me something that one day I will have to answer to or succumb to
.I think that organised religion is a bad thing and it only helps to hurt rather than save,
.I do not believe in 'god'
.I wish everyone would care about the earth and about the people in it. I wouldn't call myself an atheist because I do believe in something higher than me. if you have somewhat the same or the same views as me what would you say 'you are'. labels sometimes are not good but needed a lot of the time to pinpoint something instead of it being aimless.

it all starts with yourself. be what you want to be. know your expectations of yourself. your beliefs and your values. be the role model you want for your children.

.I want to dress modest ....
this is a choice you have

.I don't want to commit willing sin, I do just like everyone else but I am purposely trying not to....
this is another choice. you don't have to do what everyone else does. it's not the easy choice when you go against the group, nor does it get you popularity votes, but you know that you can respect yourself for living according to your values.

.I want to live by values and morals and not just wild and untamed...
again same as previous comment about living how you believe.

.I don't feel guilt over having children out of wedlock and I do not consider it a sin if two people want to raise children together without being married....
nobody else is anyone to judge. teach your kids by being the example.

.I for myself want marriage and believe in being completely obedient to your husband if... (he tries to live a moral and good life, if he doesn't then marrying him would be pointless he would have to be on the same path and page)....
it's never impossible. I would be careful about complete obedience, but do what works for you.


.I don't think its wrong to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, ....
again, it's nobody's right to judge

.I think everyone is equal......
yes. we all should be.


I wish you the best in finding your path. there will be times when you have to be strong because doing what we feel is right isn't always easy. when you establish who you are and what you're about, go forward with confidence that you are doing the best for yourself and child/children. wishing you all the best. flowerforyou

mom333, you are a very intelligent, thoughtful and thought provoking person. Your children are very fortunate to have you in their lives.
I agree with everything you wrote, few have your level of compassion and acceptance....a very good thing.

I consider myself an atheist/agnostic......
An agnostic because I admit I do not know all of the answers.
An atheist because I lack belief in the existence of god or gods.

An astrophysicist friend of mine from Rice University said it well.
He said "I'm OK with being a scientist searching for answers my entire life, instead of plugging in mythology and imaginary gods as my definitive answers to the unknown".

I hope you keep enjoying life's quest.......
You are way ahead of most people already !!
Always remember:
The Journey is the Destination
