I ask you guys as an old TL member who use to contribute enormously to this site, stay respectful and do not derail the topic. | ||

How is that sad in any way possible? He has an ability that most people respect and adore. Edit: I went to go buy a cigarette. Supposedly, you cannot buy cigarette or alcohol until 4 or 6 AM of your birthday..I went around midnight. Came home empty-handed and sad. | ||

He believes that there is an omnipresent, all powerful "being" in the sky, caring whether he has sex (and further, the said "being", and his faith, made him believe that his natural sexual urge is something that he should suppress). If this is not a typical sign of mental problems, i don't know what is. | ||

My only advice is get out there and start being skeptical of all the crap you were taught. And stop going to 'bible study'. Seriously, don't lose the best years of your life to religion. Please come to Hawaii and preach to all our lost souls. Everyone here is brainwashed in and out. We have a church on every corner, and all my once-hardcore friends are becoming "Elders" and going to serve as missionaries in 3rd world countries. | ||

If this is not a typical sign of mental problems, i don't know what is. You're obviously spouting predigested atheist trash without actually thinking about how stupid/ignorant it is, but okay, I'll bite. It may help you think a little. Just because you have a "natural urge" to do something doesn't make it okay...plenty of rapists have "natural urges" to do all sorts of things to little girls. Plenty of murderers have "natural urges" to kill people when they get angry. Sometimes I get "natural urges" to do all sorts of things when someone makes me angry, etc. Does that make any of these things "okay"? Yeah, son - maybe we were MEANT to control some aspects of our humanity...look at what happens when we don't control it. Like your sig says: "I love humanity, it is people I can't stand." And as for believing in "some being in the sky", there are many people (like the OP) who actually have a living experience of God and believe in Him for that reason. I also believe in God; I also have experienced God, and not because of some crazy religion that shoves its rules down my throat. I realize there are lots of bad religious examples to poke fingers at, but you have to remember that there are people who are legitimate believers. | ||

when i turned 18 is also when i started to fail at school and waste a lot of time, mostly getting high and drunk. I don't regret any of it, good times. Edit : about the people saying he's an idiotic believer, you're talking bulshit. He has faith and that's something valuable. I don't agree with his way of living (staying virgin...this is just a crappy decision that i can't really understand) but i respect it, as long as he is respectful towards us sinners enjoying the real life and getting much more experience through that rather than religion. | ||

got hammered for the very first time smoked weed for the first time(almost coughed up a lung because I never touched anything that was related to smoking before) lost my virginity; Don't remember the night leading up to the act or the act itself, just a hazy face and red hair. Then when I tracked some of my friends they told me I'd gone home with a girl I'd known for about two years. was my first actual relationship. lasted three months. good god! that was almost a year ago. ahh, good times. | ||
