Can someone please enlighten me?

What other activities stimulate the "masculine" side of women?

How about thinking? You know, left brain activity? (no spanking please or I'll take it back).

I wish someone would give me a little notice before such lunacy crosses my screen so I can strap in before hand.

Women that work out [provided they take care not to overheat, get dehydrated, or fall or otherwise cause trauma to the womb] and eat hearty diets while pregnant have healthier children and recover from the pregnancy faster as well. Some studies have indicated that labor is even shortened.

Are you, Amos, trying to say that excercise will increase testerone in women and make their daughters butch? <groans>

What was it that finally led you to become an athiest? Was it something very defining, or just a gradual transformation?

No, apparently it's thinking that makes us butch! Now we know what happened to Janet Reno! Before she started thinking she looked like Salma Hayek!

Gee, like most people, when I change my mind about something it's because I have received additional information that invalidates my previous stance, not because I have a uterus. Although maybe all this thinking is withering it away. Cheaper than getting my tubes tied!

My story is in the "Atheists Testimony" thread in the Secular Lifestyle & Support Forum.

Short version: After 3 degrees (BA, MDiv, DMin), 12 years as a minister and 3 years as a Bible professor, I engaged in an all-out intensive study for a period of about a year studying all the difficult questions which I had accumulated.

My desire for a consistent worldview, dogmatic rationalism, and obsessive compulsive disorder meant that I couldn't give up the search. I identified about 12 specific problem areas with Christianity, any one of which would be a "silver bullet" to my faith. I found that all 12 came out against Christianity and in favor of naturalism. I reluctantly abandoned my faith, quit the ministry, quit my professorship, and went back to school.

I have been prayed for, cried over, yelled at, guilted, threatened, cajoled, reasoned with, pitied, shamed, mocked and bombarded with emails, books, articles and tapes by my all-fundamentalist family and friends, all to no avail. I would rather be a Christian so I could please them, but my greater desire is to seek truth.

You are an honest man. To deny your faith after what you have put into it takes a lot of courage.

Sorry, edited to remove the word "not" where it definatly did not belong.

"Butch" is not really the term I would use but in animal science masculine females produce only females or effeminate males and effeminate females produce masculine males and never or seldom females. This test was performed on cockroaches at some US University.

I just put the female body builder who fails to ovulate because of her rigorous excersize on a slippery slope and the science above confirms this theory.

Quick test Amos, before we give you any credibility...

Q: In the human reproductive process, which component determines the gender of a child? The sperm, or the ovum?

You have five minutes.
