A cat with a broken foot?

A starving animal?

then how much more should it hurt you to see the suffering of our brothers in such places as Palestine?

This year Isna is holding conventions to raise money for Falasteen if there is one in your city please help donate to our brothers and sisters. Please donate to my cousins in Haifa and Acre. And if you cannot give money inshallah you can volunteer your time.

Animals cannot sort out their own problems

The Palestinians can.
They have allowed Hamas to take control.

Hamas is recognized by the United Nations as a terrorist organization,whose sole goal is to destroy Israel,no matter what the cost to their own Palestinian people.
Hamas seem to think that by sending rockets into Israeli schools and homes,then they are going to win the backing of the world,this is simply not going to happen.

Israel is not going to go away,
Israel is a sovereign state and whether Hamas like it ,or not,as such has the support of the whole civilized world.

Get rid of Hamas,
elect a decent government and try to find a peacefull way to live with the Israelis,it is the only way that the suffering of the Palestinian people will end.

my religious views changed after i got married…. and i'm a moron?
i think that my other post, which i will link to later, lacked a lot of details that provide perspective. as i said there after a few years of struggling with my Christianity i realized that my beliefs where based on fear and comfort, and i realized that it wasnt who i was and that i needed to get a handle on who i really was, and i realized i wasnt a religious person, i just grew up in a religious household. when i told my wife this she came apart at the seems. i had brought it up a few times but she always shut me down by saying things like "i dont believe that, your just confused" and "i cant handle it if you dont love jesus", so i would let it go for a few months and she would pretend nothing happened. after i made her accept it, and explained that i was miserable because i needed her to be there for me through this, she was really hurt, felt betrayed and said she didnt want to have kids with an atheist and have them be confused, and growing up in a simmilar situation i cant say i blame her. but on to the new dirt:

its hard to get her to communicate, because she doesn’t consider divorce an option (she used to threaten but when i suggested a trial separation while seeking counseling she said point blank she doesn’t believe in divorce), and she has said repeatedly in the last week that if we do divorce she will feel like a total dailure. it seems like she often wont be honest because she is afraid of pushing me over the edge, she will agree just to stop the fighting and then the problems come up later after they’ve festered. it makes it really hard to get anything done because she will freak out and shut down as soon as it gets too uncomfortable. its not like its the first time we’ve talked about separating, though before its always been some selfish and immature act on my part. usually its something stupid like me hanging out with friends too much and not coming home right after work, or not answering my phone cause i know she’s pissed and dont want to deal with it, but those little things make her bring up the stuff that no one should tolerate (and i cant believe she did), like 2 car accidents in a month cause i blacked out, or moving 600 miles for my dream job and then me failing the drug test. i cant blame her when she throws it in my face, because i know i’ve brought it on my self and any person who believed in divorce would have left already, but at the same time its going on a year since i did anything stupid, and its still getting thrown in my face all the time and i know it will be the same way with this for at least the next 4 or 5 years, probably longer because an isolated action gets farther behind you but religious beliefs are there every day

another thing is that i really dont think it would be fair to my (future) kids to expect them to grow up with parents having different beliefs. my parents tried to do the same thing you suggested, and it just didnt work, even though my dad supported my mom to my face, i caught on very young that it didnt mean much to him, and the fighting created a lot of turbulence in my life that made me think it was normal to fight every day.

i might feel better about not having kids if we had more in common, but truth be told i can count the things we have in common on one hand, and i dont think its enough to base a relationship on, its like : we’re dieting together, we like to go to movies, we like camping and hiking, and we want kids… thats mpretty much it. when we got together religion was a huge common denominator and now thats gone, and without that i just cant see how theres enough to base a relationship on. when i imagine myself in 20 years, its either single or midle aged and divorced, and it will be alot harder to rebuild when i’m 45, fat, balding and divorced then when i’m 24 and divorced. i was talking to a woman i grew up with (she has nothing to do with this, she just called me out of the blue last night after not talking since before the wedding) and as we talked i remembered that me and this person had everything in common, and my wife and i have nothing other than 6 years of rocky relationship and blind love, hiking and watching heroes. what kind of life is that? i know i could find SOMEONE who was a better match for me, and my wife can to because she is an incredible person (putting up with me for 5 years proves that)

it would be easy if she had been an @$$ hole too, but she always stuck by me and helped me pull myself together, she is my best friend. i’m just not sure i’m willing to bet on us working things out to the point where either of us will be really happy, and I would be doing her as much of a disservice by letting her faith keep her in a miserable relationship as i have by being an immature little shit for the last 3 years. we’re going to give counseling a try, and i’m still considering a trial separation, but i have a feeling that might hurt her more than it helps, because she will be embarrassed when she cant hide it fro
be knott wildered: i welcome your input, i liked your answer about that question as well, and i appreciate that you are contemplating your answer. to answer a cuople things that came up in the questions:

yes i have considered this a lot, and whether or not i should get divorced boils down to whether or not my wife and myself can be happy in our lives together, and not just if we can "survive". i love my wife, and i took my vows seriously, but more than the words i spoke i believe that its my responsibility to do whats best for her as well as myself, and if that means setting her free from a relationship her faith wont let her end, so be it. its not about "the grass being greener" or not taking my vows seriously its about not wanting either of us to settle for an unhappy, frustrating existance. she has calmed down a little, and i perposed to her that we get into counceling ASAP, that i would give it 6 months and if things are looking better i’ll give it 6 more. if things look………
the same or worse in 6 months then its time for a trial separation, and would keep going to counceling during that time till we decided what we want . as for this female friend i’m not interested in her at all, she might as well be my sister, and we arent planning to spend any time together in the near future, i only mentioned it because it make me think about how little my wife and i had in common, and that we could probably both find people that we could have a strong relationship with based on true similarities, rather than based on loyalty, emotion and 2 totally opposite people getting married at 21. you also have to realize that my wife wont consider divorce unless i beat her or cheat on her, and even then i dont know that she would. she is totally apposed to a divorce under any circumstances so she wont consider that she might be happier, and that puts alot of pressure on me and makes he feel like a douche bag for thinking about divorce at all.
…. but how can i not consider it? all i’ve done is our relationship is crap on her and take advantage of her forgiveness, if she had done it to me i dont think i would have stayed, or at least i would have. on the one hand it makes me love her all the more, how can i not? but i learned a long time ago that emotion and sex cant hold you to someone forever, they have to fulfill you and be in sync with you, and i’m not sure my wife is capable of that.

while we where talking today (it was a pretty good day compared to the last month) we commited to do some stuff together, and to do more stuff apart, the hoe being that we can find a healthy balance between she/me and "us", because we always tended to cling and suffocate eachother when we wherent fighting.
as for god, i think there is likely an intelligence behind the universe, but i reject any human vision of god because they are all based on assumption, myth and superstition. i choose free will & happiness, let "God" worry about god.


no,you are not

It sounds like you are going through some personal issues and bringing them into your marriage. Do you even want to save your marriage at this point? I’m not entirely sure you do by the way you come off. Talking to someone else, even a just a "female friend", when in trouble with your partner is never a good idea. It only opens the door for more mischief. The grass always looks greener on the other side.

She is your best friend and she has continued to stick by you through thick and thin. What more can you want from her? To be accepting of the fact that you’ve suddenly become Atheist? Like I told you in your other post, I’m a Christian woman myself and I’d be pissed if my fiance suddenly decided after several years of marriage that he wasn’t a believer. That doesn’t mean you can’t work through things, but it’s probably going to be difficult for her to accept that her husband has lost his faith. If you want to work through things because it sounds as if you are strongly considering divorce.

Wow. You have given this some thought, haven’t you? That is good, this is a serious thing and deserves some serious introspection.

Hmm… do you consider yourself an atheist, now? And why, exactly? Or do you think there may be a different way to practice your beliefs? I am a practicing Catholic, but I believe when Christ spoke of "many mansions in my Father’s house" he was referring to the many different ways we can come to God. It is not like the Catholics are the only ones right and the Baptists are all going to Hell. We all revere the same God. Anyway, is that it?

And your wife, she has stuck by you during your less than shining moments. Would you have done the same if the roles were reversed? And while it is not good to keep harping on your mistakes and throwing them in your face, you do realize that they are difficult for her to get past, right? Forgiveness is not a one shot deal for us mere mortals. The bigger the hurt, the more we must forgive, and that takes time and practice.

As for that friend… don’t go there. She may mean well, but it is too dangerous for you and the state of your marriage for you to renew even a platonic friendship with her.

Do you honor your wife? Your commitment? Or do you think that since you think you do not believe in God anymore that the promises you made on your wedding day are null and void now? Even atheists get married and see it through, because of integrity and commitment to each other.

I think counseling is a good idea. But both you and your wife should keep in mind that things are going to surface that are not pleasant for either of you. It is not all good touchy/feely stuff. There may well be some hurt to go through. Do you think the both of you are strong enough?

This crisis can bring the two of you closer, or rip you apart, but I think that it is up to the both of you as to the outcome. Good luck, and dare I say it – God bless.

I liked your answer to "Anyone else find it ironic when a creationist demands PROOF for evolution?" I gave you a thumbs up. I am going to answer this question in a bit, but since you do not accept email I had no other way to get a message to you. If you do not mind, look at my answer (just below yours) and if you like it, give me a thumbs up. If you do not, then don’t. Honesty I can take.

I am going to have to think a bit before answering this question. You do not need a knee-jerk response but rather a well-considered one. The only thing that will keep me from finishing this is Yahoo will not let me edit it. That happens once in a while. I asked a question about that recently. I am not the only one evidently.

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: Jackie O’Shea, a resident of the tiny Irish coastal village of Tully More, discovers that one of his neighbors has won the lottery – the question is, who?

Unfortunately, it turns out Ned is in no position to collect the jackpot, which totals almost 6.9 million Irish pounds. So Jackie and his real best friend, Michael O’Sullivan, try to figure out a way to share in Ned’s good fortune – after all, Ned would want it that way. But things get a lot more complicated than either Jackie or Michael could have anticipated.

Mina | Jun 27, 2009


i had the worst dream. I woke up scared and no one was at home. I was being chased by this weird ghostly looking figure and i was running in the dark dark forest and she was trying to kill me and i was with 4 other friends and she was killing us one by one. Luckily i woke up if not i’m pretty sure she would of gotten to me last and i would’ve been terrified being in that dark forest all lonely..

My ex boyfriend and I were in a wooden, rickety elevator, which broke when we attempted to go up a floor, and the cords broke and it plummeted to the ground. I was hysterical.
