This is the first time ever I've had questions sent to me to ask you, so lets get to em, then we'll continue with the original questions.
1st question sent to me: Does he have trouble balancing his beliefs and society on a day to day basis? Does he feel like an outsider or different?

Man YES!
It's a daily struggle, but I still feel like it's my calling. The hardest thing for me isn't so much feeling like an outsider personally, but having to explain things to my son at times.
Like, why we don't put up a Christmas tree.
Or, why he can't have pepperoni pizza like the other kids.
But I try to do what i can for his sake to not have him feel left out as much as possible. We still will do a gift exchange but let it be know why it's happening what not. He's never believed in Santa Clause or any of the other fairy tales.
And we do things like mske our own pizzas and use ingredients still in line with the laws. So he doesn't miss out on everything.
My biggest struggle has been trying to properly observe the Biblical Holy days and feasts. Like I said for the most part, I've studied alone. But recently if found a group of others in my vicinity and am trying to start coordinating ways to observe as a family, it's been difficult though.
That's why appreciate sites like this.
But whenever it gets hard, I remember two scriptures...
Matthew 7:13-14
[13]Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
[14]Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
And
John 17:13-16
[13]And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
[14]I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[15]I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
[16]They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I'm not perfect by a long shot. But I'm trying. Just want to keep moving forward and not back.

I played a lot of sports growing up. I'm an advocate for organized sports for a number of reasons. They reach discipline and teamwork. Hard work and dedication and many other life lessons. And in some cases on can be an outlet for emotional issues and be a means of structure for issues a kid may be having at home. It can also occupy time that could be spent elsewhere doing things that could be detrimental. So that's why I coach.
But I played football, baseball, basketball and I wrestled.
I was preferred walk in college, but they weren't talking scholarship until the next year so I said forget it.
You played varsity in all of those sports?
Which one were u the best at?
Lebron or Kobe?

That question was from I and I. We share a lot of similarities when it comes to our beliefs and I was wondering how you deal with not being the norm. Especially raising a child. My wife is Catholic so we spend a lot of time balancing each other and our different interpretations of the same thing(bible) leads to some late night conversations but we work through it.

What's up Dread?
Yeah i know there are a lot of similarities between Rastafarianism and the beliefs of Hebrew Israelites. It's hasn't been too rough because my wife grew up in the Baptist church. So while there has been some disagreement on traditions, the basics foundation is pretty similar. Like I always tell her, scripture has to be the final authority. Precept upon precept.
But Catholicism as a whole confuses the mess out of me. I feel for you brother lol

Marketing/ Business Administration degree.
I'm a personal banker.
I originally was a biology major. I wanted to either be a veterinarian or marine biologist. My now wife got pregnant and changed my major.
Did that for my sanity and GPA lol

Fondest memories would be pulling weeds and helping my grandpa plant his garden. It's something that carried over into becoming adult. Now that I have a house ove been trying to get my own garden together.
Worst memory would be the day my grandmother got admitted to hospice care. She had lung cancer and it spread to her blood and was travelling. She was basically dying on my parent couch. Lost the ability to speak and was going brain dead.

Favorite is hard to choose.
Everyone rhat participates regularly brings something to the table and makes it worth posting here. Makes my days go a lot faster.
I'm gonna have to say @Kandy tho because of her activity and willingness to host games, which is one of the best things about this site.
Least favorite is @Sebastian.
He knows why...
