Make sure you let her know that!  I have twins and triplets, and afterward I lost the weight pretty fast.  A lot of people were like "Oh my god, you are so lucky you can lose the weight so quick!"  But for a long time I still felt like I hadn't lost any weight at all.  It took a lot of reassuring before I felt like myself again.

Back on the subject of Hell, though.  I stopped believing in god when it started interfering with my enjoyment of life. The fear of hell can be so restricting.  You follow the laws of god, and are worried every time you step out of line.  Once i let go of that fear, I was able to enjoy myself much more.

Apparently my opinion doesn't count because I love her so am blinded to the devastation the kids wrought.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Meh, Hell is likely just a threat thought up by a more imaginative theist.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

I use one all the time at the beach, the pool, or anywhere else that involves swimming.

My wife has taken to wearing bathing suits that would have been considered modest in the Victorian era. Three kids has ruined her body according to her, (it hasn't).

Some of the more uber conservative Catholics think bikinis are immodest. I'm Brazilian, so I'd be a traitor to my culture if I wore anything but a bikini lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Authoritarian institutions do it all the time. Better to unite the people against a fictitious threat than let them direct their hate towards you once they realize that letting you do all the ordering around might be a bit sillier than you're making it out to be.

We might need visual evidence that you are properly honoring your national traditions. Tongue
