I only felt truly "in love" with someone of the opposite sex one time in my life, but describing how I felt is nearly impossible. But when I like someone I may have a closer relationship to them than I would others, but to truly be in love with them means something far more. It's not just...

I think it has a lot to do with public pressure. We judge based on looks - that's just the kind of society we are. If we see a bearded man wearing a dress, it's a fetish - or a comedy skit. It's never taken seriously. Women, I think, have it easier; at least they can wear suits. Some can get...

New link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/31/transgender-german-girl-f_n_1245407.html (update on story). I think an eleven-year-old who has always identified as a female and never identified as a male has pretty much made up her mind - it doesn't sound as if she's been considering this...

I don't think it's fair to say a certain personality type isn't creative. I think any type can be creative; it just depends on what they like doing. I think anyone could be creative - people knit, people bake, people write, people paint...it's all relative. Henry Mancini (the musician who wrote...

I highlighted what I would change - I don't believe that God is above material reality. In my opinion consciousness denotes material reality, and I believe God is ever-present with us emotionally, spiritually, and sometimes physically even when we don't see Him with our natural senses. I...

I'm not an ISTJ, but I have a male friend who is, and I love that he doesn't play games; there's no ulterior motive in his speech or his actions. So when he says something, I can take what he says at face value - no more, no less. Do you know what a comfort that can be? It can be difficult to...

Well you could always buy plain yogurt (buy the Greek yogurt, it's better) and add your own sweetener to it, like honey. Add natural extracts (like vanilla or maple or orange) for flavoring, or add pure fruit jam to the mix (also add nuts, raisins, and/or granola).

My take is, God is not jealous of Himself, and the Holy Spirit of God is worthy of praise - He is God. He is the one who truly helps us understand God the supernatural as well as faith in the power of God, and of prayer. He is the transformative power of the Almighty. I don't think we're used to...

The Spirit is the power of God, and that's amazing if you think about it. The Spirit is the supernatural part of God, the part that stretches our faith. He is the "change agent". Scriptures about the Holy Spirit include 2 Cor 3:16-18, Rom. 8:9, Matt. 10:20, John 6:63, and Rom. 8:26, and He was...

I wonder if any superhero mothers had to go through that trauma. Or what if the baby was born with spikes...? Yikes.

:m097: Pass!

Sounds good to me. Monty Python has a special grace for that kind of fallacy. ;)

Hey, subwayrider! I'm not sure if I can catch up, but let's try an invite. :)

I think this thread will be awesome for NT types...but maybe not so much for NF types.
