Finding what unlikely?
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!

Okay...

I'd recommend getting a job that requires no previous experience, then try working your way up , from my experience you just have to learn the computer system of whatever business you're in and that usually works. Also don't go out of your way to argue and make rebuttals with people. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.
Um, ok...

My oldest brother is muslim, my sister is Pagan, and my brother is Jewish. Quote: (??)... and then protects you against one tiny word someone wrote... I didn't ask for her to protect me but she did so anyway because, like many mothers, she's overprotective. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Sorry for freaking everybody out. All I did was tell her about my posts here and she decided to register and speak what's on her mind. I never thought it would be so suspicious.

Tell her to write on the intro section and become a regular! (February 1, 2015 at 2:36 pm)IanHulett Wrote: Hey guys.

So, I have no way to get money to afford housing. Are there alternatives so I can get out of this household? Thanks a bunch. I hate to see you have a bad relationship with your mother over a difference of opinion. If she's willing to support you, it doesn't seem wise to leave home before you can support yourself. Until you can, maybe the two of you should avoid discussing religion. Religious people often feel like they're being attacked when their beliefs are questioned. After all, their only obvious options when those beliefs are criticized is to ignore the criticism or defend their belief. There's a reason why religion is a topic oft-avoided. No matter how many excellent points you make, you're unlike to change her mind, so there doesn't seem much point to the discussion. What do you REALLY want? Are you being required to attend services as a condition for living in her house? If that's the situation, maybe you and she can work out a compromise. Unitarian Universalism does not require you to affirm any supernatural beliefs and congregations tend to have a high percentage of humanists. If you're having to attend services, maybe she would consider you attending UU, or maybe alternating between UU and her church.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
