Religion
Ok, I know my category says "Mental Illness" but I don't have psychological problems.
For the past 3 or so years I have really really been doubting any sort of religion at all - I was born Muslim, but I guess now I'm Secular Humanist.
My question is: How did you stay feminist and Libertarian w/o compromising your Christian beliefs? 'Cause some of the stuff in the Old Testament is disgusting. I mean, if it was anything else, I wouldn't mind if i disagreed with part of it...but since it's religion, how do ya deal with it?

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Although I personally disagree with your belifes(I'm conservitive) you should CHOOSE A RELIGION not go religionless. There is a God out there. You can't stay femenist and be Chrisian at the same time. You can belive in God and Heaven and all without a set religion also. It's your choice. I would personally go with the no set religion course if I was in your situation.

hey RELIGION
well actually im at sort of a cross road in my life with religion and God and all im not sure if there is a God or if he cares or if what happens just happens and we are just to accept it i was involved with the mormons and they have some great points but due to my not following exactly as they believed i was excommunicated which was not the end of the world i have had some major problems with my son and i wonder what the heck God was doing while i was going thru that well im not so sure who to blame but i do know that God gets a bum wrap sometimes even if there is one or isnt one take care

Because you don't have to believe every single word in the Old or New Testament to be a Christian. Many parts disgust me but I realize a human wrote this and it is fallible in categories other than those related to faith and morals and redemption. Its not the little messed up details that make the Bible what it is, but the greater morals and ideas sprung from it.

It's A religion, but I wouldn't call christianity (esp. the old testament) THE religion or even a GOOD religion. Seriously. You know as well as I that the old-school jews were a bunch of woman-possessing, raping, hateful, warring, slave-coveting crazies. the New Testament gets better with Jesus, but people tend to wreck that too--killing, hating, raping and maiming in the name of Jesus, who would never condone such outlandish behavior.
do NOT feel pressured to accept a set of beliefs you don't agree with just because you're told it's THE religion. Be UNreligious, be true to your heart and what you feel God wants for you. God is not in a book or a set of laws that are hateful and disgusting. God is in love and respect, especially self-respect. Cast off all that crap, and when you do, you will realize how much better you feel without the restraint. You will have God beating through your bloodstream and tingling in your fingers, I guarantee it.
To blindly accept what you are told is not faith. It is blindness.
