Inquiry Question: Intro

What prompted me to question faiths, my faith originally, but which slowly expanded other and all faiths , were the particular circumstances of my life at various times, beginning
with my early teen years. It all began at about the age of 14, when I was at the receiving end of tremendous pressures, mostly from parents, to attend public prayers and start becoming religious because "my life would improve". Whenever I heard that line and others similar, I had this intense urge of wanting to question the quality of their own lives since they were so "religious" and "God-fearing" people than I and other not-so-religious but wealthy people .
Albeit, I didn't openly exercised my reservations at the time regarding faith, I began to engage in activities and attitudes that was to serve the purpose of implicitly conveying my deep displeasure with the subject. For instance, I'd start being more active and helpful around the house. I'd start doing house-oriented jobs just so they could myself to my siblings and even themselves who regarded themselves "deeply religious" and regularly attended sermons and prayers.

My intentions weren't to disqualify or even suggest the disqualification of God or even the existence of God. But rather, it was merely to suggest and ( if possible, -because I was bracing for a real resistance and rejection,) to make the point that one did not necessarily need God's approval or blessing or be motivated by a fear of God to do something humanitarian or good.

Needless to say, it all turned out to be futile effort and failed to accomplish what I was Hoping for, which was to do some convincing about my point to others. So instead, I abandoned my naivete and opted for a completely different tactic: simply to ignore all and everything they had to say about the subject in question, all the while appearing receptive and understanding about points they wished to make to me. Simply put, suck all in through one ear and flush 'em out through the other.

This tactic essentially done them in. it wasn't after quite a while that they've realized that all of their efforts had been an utter fiasco and had next to nothing to change my attitude and views regarding faith. Ever since then, which was quite recent, about 2-3 years ago, I haven't any major pressures or patronizing and/or lectures about religion other than the occasional " just try it out and see how it feels" comments during Friday prayers.

During and after that experience, especially after religiously-motivated ( political really) terrorism and conflicts got into the open,I began to seriously question the potential risks posed by faiths to our humanity.

Introduction

Growing up as an adolescent watching and playing sports is all Idid. So, now watching tv and knowing what steroids is, I ask myself why do people do it? I know it is gpoing to help them excel, but is it worth? I became interested in steroid when I had seen my friend dad and asked how he got that big? He replied that his dad take steroids and that was how i became interested. I thought, "hey if he is that big, the pros must use steroids to". Also watching movies and of players taking steroids and how it affects your body. I mean would you take them knowing the effects it brings to your body?
Before the search, I knew of steroids. I knew that it had some bad effects, but also some attractive elements or effects such as giving you extraordinary energy to do unhuman things. Steroids can make lift weights that you normally couldn't lift. For instance, steroids give you the ability to have endurance in athletic events. This gives that person a better chance of not tiring out, as to a person who gets tired as the events go on. Essentially, I would like to know in my search what can be done to keep adolescent athletes off steroids?

introduction

One day as i was i sitting down bored at my grandmothers where there is no cable and nothing to do but watch tv. I flicked threw the few channels that she did have available and stopped at cops.On this show there was a lot of teenagers and male adults committing crimes that are not necessary for them to be doing! Its really sad how many young teenagers is filling up the jail cell at such a young age. Thats why now days everybody is talking down about us.Saying we is not going do nothing with are life but end up in jail.So i am interested in this topic just to figure out why they do the things they do to end up in the courtroom and jails facing time.
