I feel kinda the same way right now. I'm 2 months out of a 6 year relationship and I'm doing a little dating, pining after someone, and just generally having a good time. It's nice to be free of all that relationship crap right now. My friends have helped keep me sane through the breakup.

Do what you gotta do to keep yourself happy. Marriage is not the end-all be-all of existence. There's much more to life. But granted, I'm a bit younger than you, so what do I know? :-)

You clearly do not study history. The only reason the Christians don't appear to be the extremists, is that they are us and our governments. What do you think the inquisition was? Have you heard of North and South American Slavery, or the attempted genocide of the Native Americans? Much of this was justified by the Christians because the victims were ungodly beasts. Hell, we still live in a world controlled by this belief system. Lookup "manifest destiny", and see if there is no Christian relation. Dude, wake up. The Islamic radicals don't think they are radical either. They think that they are fighting a just fight. You've got to climb out of the fishbowl every once in a while. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM just as much as they are. ...and to the parent. Yeah right. Our people NEVER cross the "violence" line. Turn your TV off and you Brain on. Please.
