I have my own beliefs regarding God - is there a religion i would identify with?
I was baptised a Catholic and went to Catholic schools but as an adult, began to question Catholic beliefs and practices. Confession is one example - i don't believe i have to tell a priest my sins in order for God to forgive me, i can do myself through prayer. Another issue i have a problem with is the hypocracy, why not feed the hungry or a million other things that cause human suffering instead of building million dollar churches? There are a few more but you get the idea. I now call myself a "spiritual christian" but wondered if there are any faiths that i could identify with. Here are a few things i feel strongly about !) I feel closest ro God when i;m with nature, ex being watching beautiful sunset or hiking in mountians 2) Every living thing on our planet should be respected - humans may be smarter but God created all of us 3) The important thing isn't making it to church on Sunday, it's about being a kind and decent person to those around you. Whether they are black, red or purple, gay or straight treat people as you want to be treated every day. 4) There isn't a "hell" (it's what we are living in while on this earth) There's actually more things i feel strongly about but just given those few things does anyone have any suggestions?
How did you eventually come to the decisions of what ear piercings you have today?
Honestly I don’t decide it’s I either give other people options and they pick for me as to which piercing I get next, the prices of piercings I want or I put the options into a spin the wheel thing on google and the answer is computer generated. I know I want pretty much every piercing you can have in an ear I just don’t know what order to get them in. So far I have 4 lobe piercings, a helix, forward helix and a rook. In a couple of weeks I’m getting a conch, a daith and a few more helixes. The reason I like getting pierced is because it makes me feel pretty and confident in my looks. I can’t wait to add more to collection.

Preponderance of single mothers on dating sites?
There is nothing wrong with not wanting to date a single mother. AT least you are honest about it.It doesn't make you an azzhole. There are probably many of them on those sites because it exposes them to a number of opportunities without having to go out. When you have children at home your time out of the house, children free is scarce and is better used actually dating rather than being out trying to find one. So they try and find them in comfort of their own home, where no sitter is required and if something pops up....they can then pursue it. its probably more a convenient factor. You may be frustrated but they have every right to use it just as you do. the fact that you are single and dependent free means you are able to more f rely explore other avenues aside from online dating so keep searching the online scene but find other ways to get out and meet single offline too. ** yes there are a lot of them out there, but online they would be more predominant. There are more single dependent free options offline. The online outlook does not represent all women in general.
Are the 10 commandments literal or figurative? Follow up ?, who are these "other gods" in the 1st commandment?
They are literal, but with that said, "other gods" isn't referring to other gods that really exist, but rather ones that people made up. This could be idols, etc. Today I think we find that people worship money, cars, houses, music, etc more than God. We even refer to some of these things as "idols". Anything that we seem to worship by making it a higher priority than God becomes an Idol. Apparently God wanted to make it clear. It must be that important. Thus he gave two similar commandments.
