average= 50 extra pounds,
|

If average = overweight, then we need more options for people who are under/almost underweight! Thin or skinny would cover that. Though, I guess slender means the same thing. But if average were to mean overweight, those terms would have to be used to describe average. Which underweight isn't. |

I'm not very quick to call someone a friend. To be a friend one must meet my expectation of a friend and live up to that role, and be someone I can live up to that role for as well. My expectation is something like: 1)cares about me, and not just good times with me; 2)takes effort to get to know me; and 3)shows care and knowing me by taking time out of, if not everyday, every week to spend with me or talk to me and by helping me with my problems when I have them and by respecting my wishes and concerns. To me this seems common sense and yet I only have one friend. I thought I had others, but to say they let me down would be an understatement.

If only I had such a friend. There's also a couple things I would very much like to add to my profile still, and I just can't think how.

Want constructive feedback
|

I just finished my profile, after putting off making a decent one for ~a month. Ready for feedback. Constructive only please.
Some helpful tips, a number of things that I realize may be considered "bad," like referring to myself as a princess, have been done intentionally for a reason. In the case of the example, I'm aware it comes across as "this girl is high maintenance." I chose to use that term precisely because I *am* what the average user would call high maintenance and therefore want to attract someone who won't be put off by it. |

A Scientific Afterlife
|
|
...running with the religious aspect (since you did decide to post it here) I would say that it both is and is not an everlasting life. In that however one disposes of remains the body persists in various ways through physiological and chemical conversions to energy and more matter in cycles that have no end, it is indeed everlasting. But with the loss of consciousness/will (which is what most people would think of as your soul, certainly the medium by which we experience being alive, and a key component to the definition of being alive(ability to react to external stimuli requires both awareness and will)) I'm not sure how it could be defined as an afterlife.

Incandescent light bulbs
|
|
I use both. The fluorescent bulbs are brighter but there is something that hasn't been addressed about them that I found out a LONG time ago. They do last a long time EXCEPT in rooms where the lights are turned off and on frequently. The action of turning on the fluorescent bulbs decreases their life expectancy. I had wondered why the bathroom lights did not last as long as in other rooms until finding that one out a long time ago. So even though I use the fluorescent in other rooms, the bathroom is one room that I mix the bulbs. I use one regular and one fluorescent in the vanity light. The two outside ones do start out dim in cold weather (New England), but in a minute or two they brighten up. I will be stocking up on the old bulbs though 
I'm glad I'm not the only one that knows this! Fluorescent is only more energy efficient if you leave it on. I learned that in 6th grade and have made minor changes to lifestyle ever since to be more energy efficient (I don't think "green" had even caught on at the time.) However, my bedroom bulbs and bathroom bulbs I require to be incandescent even though I leave them on the most because fluorescent gives me headaches and eyestrain. As if all my regular health problems weren't too much already. 
Maybe it's a scheme, tell everyone it's being discontinued, jack up the price, make big money off people stocking up, and then "we decided it's in the best interest of everyone/the environment to keep it going." |

Dating Site Stereotypes
|
|
Looks like most of the standard stereotypes have been covered. Here's one to add: my grandma thinks all people on dating sites are predators. The rape and murder kind. And anyone who isn't a predator is a young, naive girl that will be the victim.
...obviously she doesn't know I use any. |

The "dogma" of religions is a good opportunity to spread the knowledge of this belief to many people. This also helps in it not being altered by misunderstandings or anything of such. The faith isn't being placed in the "dogma". The faith is being placed in the knowledge it possesses.
Your post needs a like button. OP: Jeremiah is a history account by a man of the same name, not a prophecy that's been waiting to happen. This is what happens when people take things out of context, in this case not a verse in a chapter but whole chapters in a book. If you look for an apocalypse, I guarantee you will see "signs" in every big or little thing. |

Science: method of understanding the product which is the reality. Oh, and funny how technology keeps improving on itself, despite NONE of the original manufacturers are alive. (Television to the internet; are technology products, yeah?) I don't believe in your god anyway, at least not in a sense that would classify my religion as Abrahamic, but I never agreed with this type of argument even when I was Christian.

I guess it's a little bit of a turn off, but not as much as calling one's self "good" "kind" "nice guy" or showing off a conservative Christian mindset. On the other hand "bad" "rebel" "punk" or a struggling artist type lifestyle set off my brain's anti-social alarms.

Topic:
The main difference
|
|
It depends highly on which religions you are comparing. Comparing all religions, through details or general principles, they are all a little different from each other in few ways to every way they can be different. Why are there differences? Different people have different perspectives. Also depends on how far you want to break down the term religion. Are you talking Buddhism and Christianity...... or Hinduism and Jehova Witness'....... or Catholic or Protestant, or .......... True. Personally I would include self-proclaimed irreligious atheists/spirituals/other variations of irreligious under the umbrella as it still reflects having a metaphysical philosophy, although I wouldn't necessarily group them together as a religion. I hope they would agree as the chief complaint seems to be organized religion, not having metaphysical and life philosophies. I hope that makes sense. |

Divine Inspiration

To figure that out, we would first need to decide what divine is. Does divinity imply that it is of god/s? A spiritual experience regardless of potential higher beings?

No, people are just there, and personally I'm not going to rationalize the abuse some of them do as a lesson for the victim. That'd be sick.
