A Born Again Christian will be the odd man out in an argument/discussions on abortion or number of topics so the Born Again Christian is the REAL rebel

Just out of curiosity, what town/city and state do you live in?

I've been a lot of places and offhand the only place I can think of where a born again would be considered a rebel is the Bay Area in California (like San Francisco). Oh, and Venice and some other parts of Los Angeles, plus Hillcrest in San Diego. And some minority neighborhoods that tend to be primarily Catholic, IF you're the kind to pass out Chick tracts (at least the ones that say Catholics are evil).

I suspect New York City and plenty of places in Utah would be, however.

I see rebellion as different from being an individual even when individuality goes against the grain, though I suppose if you put enough attitude into it then it can count (though I'd only say it was once it became confrontational--and by that I mean intending to confront society as opposed to others getting offended and confronting you).

I used to be quite the rebel (as opposed to individual who disturbed others simply for being different) when I was 17 to I guess 23. Not so much anymore. But painting hearts and rainbows on the sides of police precinct buildings does sound like fun.

I live in the South. I am not an odd man out in a Christian setting, obviously. However, I am not your typical Born Again Christian. I am more likely to be with a New Age group, a Yoga group or a Natural Foods group which is, virtually, like San Francisco

I think a few people misunderstood what I meant by rebelling against society, I wasnt talking about violence or anarchy, I simply meant what are ways you don't conform to the the way society expects you to:act, dress, think etc. Lol I don't think it is a bad thing.

Nah aquaguy, I got cha Like wearing flip flops to Church or jeans to an event of all evening wear. Spiking your hair, paint a flower on your cheek and asking the prim library lady to show you where the guns and amno section is.
I confess I was much younger but now am nonconforming in a more sedate manner.Like bathing my large dogs at the car wash (hand held not drive through) then taking them to the dairy queen for ice cream

Farting and burping unapologetically in public is a form of rebellion. XD

I think a good sense of humor is a rebellion because things will only be funny if they are true. However, if they are true, you will get people who get mad at you because you touched a nerve. Every joke is a risk

Rebellion means different things to different people. To me it's challenging the established order through individualism. It's not something I take lightly. But we're all different.

Laws bother me.
I drive through red lights when there are no cars.
I don't listen to signs (no right turn) pfft.

I feel it's my duty to tell people when they are breaking moral laws, even if it's in public.

If my community does it, then I don't do it. If it was invented in the last 30 years then it' usually crap so I don't buy into it. Except an iphone LOL
I refuse plastic.
I do not Vaccinate any person or pet.
I would not chop my cats balls off.

I stretch my ears
Have a tattoo on the back of my neck... oh I'm not a bogan.... but the only Mother at Kinder who looks kind of the odd one out.

I dunno, Ive always rebelled, since 15 years old.... especially with my dress... pink/blue hair, shaved, peircings. People assume you do it for attention... I did it because that's who I wanted to be/look... it felt like me.... I didn't want to dress like a shopping mall person.

Now I'm the same but more sophisticated.

I wear thongs (flipflops) everywhere....

Farting & burping unapologetically in public kinda falls under that statement

Yes Juniperb . It does, albeit in the grossest way...if it's how one chooses to express their individuality, then rock on!

As an Aquarian-colored Pisces, I can find many ways, and one in particular that I cant mention here, lol!

But my best known is, being a woman of quite big bustedness, and living in south Texas, I refuse to wear momoos, just to cover myself, I want to be cool and comfortably so summer will find me in shorts and tiny tank tops (yea even at a very young 50!)

Well a big peeve of mine, my entire life is for men go gawk at the busts, and I have been known and gotten into scary situations when they pass by and make some stupid "man sound" and gawk.

Just yesterday coming out of a convenience store, with yoga pants on and a tank top, I got snided with some disrespectful noise and looks, so I turned around and went off on the dude as he kept going into the store. Some poor lady, (of African American descent who would probably have agreed with me) just looked at me in shock!

I have been rebelling against the gawker-noisers since I was a teenager and dont intend to stop yet!

One day my very beautiful daughter, then 14 and I were in the grocers, he lept looking at her also large endowment, complete with his own women in tow, finally at the checkout I went off on him so bad the entire checkout lines came to a stop...hush..

I let everybody know she was only FOURTEEN and that he should probably pay more attention to HIS woman!!!

oooo, me bad sometimes!

O, and I dont want to sound like a terrible troll.

There are respectful ways to admire.

Once 3 guys, going into the same conveneince store, 2 gawked, one smiled and said "hi"

The nice one got a smile back and a greeting too, the others got nothing...from me.
