Sounds like you and I probably agree. I would say the one way you could draw a line in the sand would be similar to how psychologists draw a line in the sand. If a disability whether it be autism, schizophrenia, or no legs is considered debilitating then it's worth eliminating from the gene...

Two points I see here... 1. Like you said, people seeing a marriage counselor are usually struggling in their relationship and communication. In these situations alternative lifestyles like swinging and poly are a last resort attempt and usually it's one person who really wants it and the other...

I'll reply even though I have no experience in these matters. It doesn't sound anything like poly to me which is why you probably aren't getting any responses. Not that it has to be poly or even defined at all as long as it strengthens your relationship and increases your happiness. Your...

That option is on the table. And the fact that it is only makes her trust issues and insecurities even stronger.

Kdt, I think you misunderstand what autism is. It is a brain disorder. The brain literally does not function correctly. It is not just a social preference thing. The social issues involved in autism are difficult no doubt and usually derive from certain parts of the brain functioning...

I'm not saying I would have aborted "my child". If indeed a fetus is nothing more than that then you aren't aborting a child, but what might be a child. The bigger question is whether I would want my child to have autism if I could choose and the answer is an emphatic no. So if we could...

I hate the terms Pro-Choice and Pro-Life. As if to say people who believe abortion is murder are somehow against a woman's right to choose what to do with her body and that people who belief it's simply a choice are somehow pro murder. The arguments seem to be mutually exclusive of each other...

DEALBREAKERS (without these, I can't be in healthy relationship here) I want my wife to understand poly and other sexual preferences and desires in me without judgement. I want my wife to stop doing nagging me and being so negative all the time I want my wife to start trusting me by (This one...

More than anything I want us both to be able to be happy. I think I could live with monogamy even though it isn't what I want as long as there was trust and happiness again. I want her to understand that I'm different and that doesn't make me a bad person or mean that I don't love her. In my...

That is part of the problem. She doesn't have many girlfriends and doesn't really go out of her way to make great friends. She has gone out with girlfriends before but is so shy about it. She isn't the type of person to go out of her way to make a new friendship. And she occasionally talks to...

Update - Had a rough weekend. I had plans over a month ago to go to a basketball game with friends and had already paid for tickets. Then my wife planned my sons Birthday party for the next morning. So I went out anyways and had planned to be home not much later than midnight so I'd have enough...

Also the very real threat of overpopulation destroying our planet makes the Biblical commandment "Be fruitful and multiply" completely obsolete. In my opinion, large families are doing a disservice to society, unless some of those children were adopted, like in my family growing up.

Anyone who thinks they don't have biases has never studied psychology. EVERYONE is biased. EVERYONE has a personal agenda. At least that's the belief I am biased towards. :-)

And I think the invention of protected sex is a huge game-changer, as well. It's easier to see why premarital sex and sex outside your marriage would be things society wouldn't want happening at the time.

I could care less if God is male or female. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he is neither. And I wasn't asking about the "Christian" God. I personally believe we are all worshipping the same god. He or she just may have manifested himself differently to different people, and when he does, most...

I'll try to make some times to read those. Do you consider yourself to be gnostic or atheist? Or undecided?

I have not seen the movie but if indeed a computer had intelligent life then wouldn't it be a sociopath. How would it develop empathy? This isn't to say that sociopaths don't have relationships but how honest they are in those relationships is only as honest as they need to be to get what they...

I wouldn't say that Jesus was made up by Jews. Most of them don't believe in him to this day. And the story as it's presented in the current Bible doesn't exactly paint Jews in the best light. It's possible the Romans did it, as a way to control the population, but even that doesn't hold water...

Also, do you think the fact that humans have always made up or corrupted the original story means that God doesn't exist? Corruption doesn't really prove that something doesn't exist, especially when the overall theme of Christianity, in my opinion, is that we are all selfish, and corrupt...

Just out of curiosity, would you also question whether Moses, Muhammed, Buddha, etc., existed at all? I've also assumed they were real people that were just possibly made to be more than they really were, as opposed to make-believe people.
