A Good Article I Found! Subject:Organized Religion
by Big Jim inthe truth about organized religion.
christians and theists often state that without religion people would resort to barbarism and anarchy.
in reality however some of the greatest acts of cruelty have come from organized religion, such as: .

Jim, excellant article! thank you for posting it.
yeru, i'm an atheist too and like rem, have never had to urge to murder or steal...it's sad that some feel that humans NEED to have a higher power influencing them. seems crazy to me. I decide for myself that I want to be a good person. I have no need for some insane god's threats of hell, eternal death or whatever....nor, do i need the thought of heaven, life everlasting or whatever to entice me to be good.
like the author says here
I've meet many Christians that are happy with their religion and keep it to themselves
i too have many christian friends. my problem is hypocrital christians and christians who feel their way is the ONLY way to live life. Please allow me to make that decision for myself. thank youlove

Why Are You Here?
by larc inthe question, "why are you here?
" is simple enough, and your answer may be straightforward.
however, when i asked that of myself, i find that my answer is pretty complicated.

Hi JanH, thanks for your comments. i understand what you are saying, how we can't just blame the media, the movies or canada , the issue is certainly more complex than that and you are also correct that lots of times, girls/women take on the insecurities of their mothers. that is why articles like the one above are important. hopefully, women will realize where these insecurties stem from (be it movies, print ads, your mother, childhood teasing...) and try to instill in their daughters, friends, mothers that this vicious cycle needs to STOP.
this section from the article is worth repeating:
How do you know if your daughter has a distorted body image?
If she feels she is too fat, that’s normal. Studies show 80 percent of fourth graders think they are too fat. What is important is you have to ask yourself what’s going on with you before you ask what’s going on with your daughter? Is your body healthy? Do you exercise regularly? If the mother does those things, the daughter follows. If the mother is continually counting calories the kids do as we do, not what we say. Kids may be obsessed about looks in middle school. Your job is to model eating healthfully and not be too controlling about food. Have healthy stuff at home. If you give your child a hard time about what they’re eating and have donuts in the morning, that’s what your kid is getting as a model. Don’t try to control what they put in their mouths.
jan, speaking of blaming...
And, while I noted that guys stumbled over themselves in an old thread, saying how much they liked fat girls, well, individual taste varies, but it's easy to see in a group of people which girls are the most popular among the men.
so what, we should blame you?tina, slip and music mouth, thank you for your comments!!
my main reason for posting this is to get us (women) to think about this important issue and maybe to get us to see how we pass these insecurities on. the most important thing is being healthy and happy. so eat your veggies! lolol
love

okay, my head's a bit clearer now..lol, finally woke up today. i just have a few thoughts on this article.
So if women are OK with their BMI, and their body fat is OK, then they’re OK, but the problem is that women who are OK, are still obsessed
this is such a true statement. even a size 4, 110lbs woman will/can struggle with self esteem issues. i think it's fair to say that ALL women especially young women have obsessed over their body image. sometimes it seems when we talk about weight, body image, etc, we seem to just focus on the bigger end of the scale, but thin/skinny women also suffer.
One of the things that keeps young women from eating healthy food is that everything that goes in their mouth is about their weight — never about their health. Food and health should be equated. Equating food with fat leads to disordered eating and can lead to diseases like osteoporosis, which can start in the teenage years because of restricted calories and calcium.
again, so true! we live in a time of fast everything and are used to instant gratification (this may be something really affecting gen xer's). we want food that is fast, easy and at least tastes half-ass good. IMO, the reason most people are unsuccessful dieting is because they are expecting quick and easy results. but really, to truly get healthy, you need to change your lifestyle, change your eating habits and stick to it. starving yourself or restricting your diet for a short period, losing some weight, then going BACK to old eating habits just doesn't work. eating healthy needs to become a way of life.
What women have to say to themselves is, ‘I accept myself unconditionally right now.’ I write it on a prescription pad and tell them to put it on their mirror. It’s powerful. That’s what we have to do. It’s part of reprogramming our lives. We all want quick fixes, but since it doesn’t work, it’s insane to keep doing the same thing to ourselves.
The whole point of this article, summed up quite nicely. we ALL need to learn to love and accept ourselves.
so ladies! BE HAPPY WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL
love
