syriansephardi: at one point i almost got kicked out of my house…but my parents still think i do not have the maturity to make my own decisions isnt that kind of hypocritical? and as much as my parents may love me and only want the best (which i am not arguing with) there is a certain point where you need to let go and let your child make their own decisions…if not 17 when? 18? 19? where does it start? i beleive at the point where a child says i dont care anymore this is my life and i can decide how i want to live it is the point where the parents need to take a step back and watch from the sidelines whether for good or bad (some things are only learned from experience)

ames: like i said i happen to beleive in judiasm very very strongly the reason i am not religious is not because i think it is wrong but because i do not have an intrest in it…when i say good person i am talking about what most people would call a good person…getting a good job and not bothering other people…such as by murdering robbing or anything like that…just living my life and not harming other people (and i know that muslims think you go to heaven for killing people so dont use that as a comeback)

Jothar: the answer to you is pretty similar to the one for ames…a good person is just someone who lives thier life not bothering anyone else and not doing anything like murder or stealing….i guess it is pretty much the sheva mitzvos bnei noach

and dont worry that didnt come acrss as bad in any way it actually made a lot of sense
