    Ha! Yes! Success!

    Finally the battle between good and evil has been settled!

    I am God! I am the one! Worship me, bow down to me, and lick my genitalia... people of all ages!

    (You may now begin the nail clipping licking and sacrifice)

    I don't see what difference it makes what religion a person is.

    I personally don't practice any religion, but I am not against those who do, either.

    Hmmm..... that's a question that would literally take days of conversing non stop for me to explain to someone. I guess I could try to summarize a bit of what I believe, or hold to be true in my life.

    I'd like to believe that all religions (for the most part) hold some truth, as they all basically branch off one another much like a tree. Plus I don't like to fully believe that many people are being completely deceived and brainwashed to that degree. That's what I have in common with the average religious person though...that false hope per say. Most believe something because they really want what it is they believe in to be true for comforts sake.... aka to explain the unknown, because as we all know people often fear the unknown more than they fear the known. That's basically what a false hope is, a less false hope, or simply a hope in my mind would be for example the hope that a friend or brother you've known for some time and has been there for you in the past will be there for you in the future, unlike a god or gods that one believes will do the same, despite not having those experiences in the past (maybe they've convinced themselves that what they've experienced is directly due to god(s), however I feel that's more their mind telling themselves that rather than it actually taking place.)

    So, I form my beliefs based on mainly what I've experienced in life, what I've taken from various religions, philosophies and ways of life and largely from the thoughts of those whom I've had long conversations with. (keeping an open mind and talking to others about what they believe and their views on life is one of the loves of my life). My beliefs aren't constantly "changing", rather I'd consider them to be constantly evolving with each passing day, as I learn more and experience other ways of thinking and looking at things.

    I don't really consider myself to be Atheist yet simultaneously I wouldn't say I'm Agnostic. I really believe in a notion of "infinite possibility" so in my mind virtually anything is possible, it's just that I view some things as much more probable than others. I love to use metaphors and symbolism from many different religions, and I especially relate to most if not all Rastafarian metaphors. (Mainly the concept of Babylon being a representation of materialism and the need to stay away from it at all costs.)

    It really bothers me when people feel one needs to follow a set doctrine to be spiritual and moral though. I think it's bullshit when people label those who aren't members of any specific religion as one who simply believes whatever will benefit them most, because if you actually look at it that way, most "religious" people blissfully believe what they do largely due to that train of thought.

    oh, no no no!!! no you don't want to do that! been there, done that hell. you really don't want to go there. :( catholics are incredibly good at making you do what they want you to do simply because they're really good at making you feel guilty for doing anything else. kiss ever feeling good about having sex goodbye... throw all hope of having healthy ideas about family out the window... and just realize that if you buy into catholicism, the only way you'll find some peace is living in a convent, feeling guilty about your lesbian actions, and being jealous of the priests for getting to fuck the young ones instead of old wrinkled up hags.
