I don't know how bad your anxiety is, but I'll say that if the stress induces vomiting or cold sweats you should probably see a psychologist (I'm not being a smartass, they can perscribe anti-anxiety drugs such as Paxel). However, if you deal with a more moderate form of anxiety (which I do as well) such as a rapid pulse at random, cotton mouth, shakes, etc, there are a few things you can do.

1: First and foremost: Distract yourself. You already have a huge advantage, being a gamer. Video games are my cure to anxiety, I just pop in a game and wait it out.

2: Excersise. I hate it more than anything, but it's 100% true that excersise is one of the most rapid stress relievers there is. Run a mile or two, hit the heavy bag, you'll feel a LOT better.

3: If you're a smoker, you know what to do.

There are so many flaws in Christianity that a lifetime would be insufficient to cover them.........thisishowtowin

Start naming a few and I'll clarify for you.

That's not a legitimate excuse. If it's religious, like marriage is all over the world, it has no place in the legal system.

Marriage isn't religion unless you choose it to be so. Athiests will go through the District Justice, while Catholics will go through the Church.

Then you have no argument when you say marriage is between a man and a woman. By the constitution, all men and women are equal before the law. Religion is not meant to be mixed with politics. So if marriage is only religious by choice, then homosexuals should be able to enjoy the same benefits the government grants to heterosexual marriages. Otherwise, this is a violaition of the constitution.

You do have a strong point, but let's face facts, the country moves slowly when it comes to acceptance. This is the first presidential race that we're seeing a woman with a possibility of making it, we're still (even in these forums) getting over racism, and so on. I see it happening within the next few generations, but not now. My only stance is that they should NEVER be allowed to partake in the sacrament of marriage, meaning through the Catholic Church.

However, adopting kids is another story. Until it is proven that you are born a homosexual, I don't think that it should be allowed. For the first 18-25 years of your life, your greatest influence is your parents. This wouldn't be fair to raise a child with homosexual tendencies in today's world simply because he got it from his parents. Maybe in a more accepting world, this would be fine, but to put a child through that kind of persecution? It would be wrong.

Be fair. A lot of non-athiests will get married in a court house as well. I'm not an atheist, but I got married in a court house. I know lots of non-atheists who got married in a court house. It's a matter of money for some of us.

Yeah I didn't mean to make it sound like that, it was an example. I have a lot of Christian friends that got hitched in the Court House. The only reason I'm getting married in a church is because in the military it's free. There won't be a reception or anything, just us and a priest.

[QUOTE="RiSkyBiZ-13"]To answer the thread's question is simple: because our society to worthless. If you say the 'N Word,' you're lible to get yourself killed, but call a white man something derogatory and it's okay. Call me a potatoe eating alcoholic (I'm Irish), and it's accepted. Call a Jew something derogatory, it's okay, and I'll have to say the holocaust pwns slavery. It's still funny to me that whites supposedly aren't allowed to say it, while blacks will be screaming it at eachother while they're shooting eachother. Good stuff.bluegender

I think you might want to stop watching BET if you think all black people gangbang and call each other the "N" word. I like how one minute you said this "Call me a potatoe eating alcoholic (I'm Irish), and it's accepted " but then you contradict yourself with this "while blacks will be screaming it at each other while they're shooting each other. Good stuff ".

Those are what we call stereotypes and anyone who believes in that type of stuff are clueless.

Actually, I came by information from growing up in a city and seeing it my entire life..

Ummmm... I hate to break it to you but one city isnt the entire world.

Yeah I'm going to bow down to this one, I'm not really going anywhere with this. Blame the Vicatin, not me.

[QUOTE="RiSkyBiZ-13"]Athiesm has no factual evidence disproving the existence of God. Show me one example, and I'll disprove it. Obviouly you haven't been reading the many religion threads that have been floating through since last night.Rifkin-

Once again you guys fail to understand how Logic works...

For me to DISPROVE something, it has to be PROVEN first... its like saying, "hey, disprove that there isn't a 83 legged alien in the universe" There very well might be, or maybe not, but for you to tell me to Disprove it, is ridiculous, there is no evidence supporting it in the first place....

Give me some proof of god, and i'll shoot them all down.

Which brings us right back to my original point, there is no actual fact backing up either party.

That's not a legitimate excuse. If it's religious, like marriage is all over the world, it has no place in the legal system.

There are no facts supporting either side- Christianity or Athieism.

Rifkin-

The lack of factual evidence for Christianity only supports the Agnostic and Atheistic beliefs. Its like saying,

"hey, we don't know if there is an el chupacabra, but lets believe in it anyway! Hell, lets base our whole lives around it!"

= No fact

Facts do not depend on what anyone thinks or does not think. They are based in objective reality and determined through reason.
