What kind of situation makes you feel less human that you really are?
None; I am either incapable of feeling non-human / semi-human, or incapable of being able to realise the differences between the varying degrees of human-ness, due to 'human' being the only physical and mental state I have -ever- experienced, or know that I have experienced.
I don't have anything to measure it against.

Try to find something that can only result as a consequence of it, or try to figure out what such a thing would lead to and look for evidence for those things.
These are hard to use in such a way to strictly prove the existence of something, but it can often lead to it being 'as good as proven' or 'as good as disproven' (a negligible margin of error).

If he ignores this line of conversation entirely, I would start discussing the Bible with him, since it is a favourite subject of mine : )

In some instances it is, but in most it isn't.

'Worse' is a relative term... You are both at fault, him more so than you (if he did indeed cheat for the entire 10 year relationship), but you are still bad.
The lesser of two evils is still an evil, if you are angry at him for cheating on you, then you cheating on him just makes you guilty of the exact same lie that got you angry to begin with.

Personally it's the fact that many of the ones around where I live could kill me far too easily ; )
I don't really mind them too much though, the dangerous ones live in places I don't go very often (if at all), and all the ones that I really come into contact with just sit still in their webs far out of reach, thus not bothering me.

No, I don't take drugs (I don't even drink), and I never plan on that changing.
It doesn't take a genius to see how the negatives outweigh the positives so completely for most drugs...
Growing up watching people suffer, have their careers ruined, relationships shattered, lives taken, etc by drugs, it's really quite simply to just not be at all interested in taking part...

Whatever you do, don't 'not eat' as it is very unhealthy. All you need to do to loose weight is eat healthy foods (don't gain weight) and exercise (burn off body fat).

Answer to:
Why is bisexual frowned upon? Either/OR You to choose!
It isn't really frowned upon where I'm from; sexuality takes a back seat to actual behaviour and friendliness.
However, I would say that in instances when it is frowned upon, it is because they consider it partially homosexual, which is what they are actually frowning upon.

You can get false negatives quite easily with a urine test, but you are significantly more likely to get an accurate result from a blood test (blood tests aren't that bad anyway, so you don't really have anything to loose).

Answer to:
A developmental psychology professor of mine once said that divorce has such horrible consequences on children that parents should stay together and just live seperate lives. (Assuming their is no abuse) Do you agree?
It's difficult to say really... It's not in doubt that divorces can cause a lot of harm to children, but many would argue that effectively lying to the child is more harmful...
It's tough for me to agree with the later group, since I know several people who nearly tried to kill themselves as children because they believed their parents had divorced because of them, and frankly...

GOD the father, GOD the son, GOD the spirit. How many GODS are there?

When you hear your own voice it is either going through most of your head or bouncing off nearby surfaces before it reaches your ears, AND when a voice is recorded the microphone might distort / otherwise poorly record the sounds, giving you an inaccurate voice.

Due to the cavalier manner in which some of our politicians use the words "patriotic" and "family values", have these words and what they represent lost their true meaning? They have been used as weapons against the opposition more than anything else.
I don't think that they have lost their meaning at all, it's just that the politicians are using the words incorrectly or in situations where the words possess far more energy and power than the politicians actions actually deserve.
For example, it's patriotic to have the flag of your country flying over your house, but the word possess far more energy and power than is...

If you only eat a small breakfast and a salad for dinner for weeks, would it weaken your body's natural defenses and make you easier to get sick?
If that small breakfast and salad provided you with all the necessary nutrients, vitamins, proteins, etc then no... But small breakfasts and salads usually 'don't' provide you with those things...
Basically, if you are malnourished then yes, your bodies natural defences will be weakened. However you don't need to eat a great deal to be well nourished, you just need to eat...

"In winter the distance between the Sun & the Earth is maximum." Is the statement correct? Explain brifely.

Other than that though, they are completely allowed to write whatever they want about anyone, and not show them to you if they...

Could the Universe be conscious? If that is so where does that leave us and the animals?I f we consider our species to be conscious and self-aware does that mean....
No, the Universe couldn't be conscious - it is mostly nothingness, with a few pockets of randomness mixed in between ; )
If it 'were' conscious, it would leave us as conscious beings within a conscious Universe - the situation would be no different than it currently is, since if that were the case then we have existed up until this point as conscious beings within a conscious...

Which body or organisation keeps a regular watch on the universe for avoiding asteroid risks to earth?
I believe NASA has a department for keeping an eye on asteroids in our solar system, but there is little anyone can do to actually avoid them hitting Earth once they are on their way over to do so...

Answer to:
Doesn't it just prove that there is a God because of all the people asking questions and are curious about God even though they may or may not believe in him?
lol : D
No, it doesn't.
It proves only that there exists such a concept as 'God', and that some people are interested in asking questions about it.
To say that the mere act of asking a question proves the subjects existence is to say that literally EVERYTHING exists, which it patently doesn't.
I can ask questions about me standing on the other side of the room to...
