I AGREE TOTALLY!

That's hilarious. Did you ever get tempted to answer a question in a way that would just totally confuse the kid? Except then you'd get the parents after you. Ugh.

Oh, I think I'm the singer in the grocery store. Except I sing on key, and I'll sometimes sing songs NOT playing, in an effort to drown them out. So I guess not really?

The spiders usually don't get in here, but at my other place there was a large crack under the door and they would sometimes sneak under. My Mom has a No Kill policy, so she harmlessly picks them up. And then she yells at me for getting skittish when they're that size.

Edit: Oh no, I should get to bed! It's 1 in the morning where I am. Hehe... Okay, I'll pick this up tomorrow then.

@ Fairy: Yeah I remember that episode. It always bugged me when he was trying to explain reading to his female guide, and calling it fundamental...

Reading... is... fun?

She says.

No, FUNDAMENTAL

He says, in a miffed tone.
He should have implied it was both.

And I'm agnostic with a healthy respect for atheists.

yeah, I agree exactly with that Biggles. I try to respect everyone's beliefs, although sometimes it can be hard! I know a few atheists, and I know theists too.

I think fun and fundamental is a natural way to put it. I never watched it more than once because my sister always changed the channel after the first time.

Okay, now I'm really getting to bed.

I don't really care what religion someone is unless a) they're hurting someone else with it (be it physically or emotionally) or b) I'm dating them. And that's not like a "I don't date religious people cause they stupid!" or something. It's just that in order to be with someone in the long term with that sort of closeness, we need to be on the same page, and I can't relate to religious people in that department. Luckily for me, my soul mate is only loosely agnostic (in a "well you can't know that there isn't something" way). and ugh, there's no way for me to explain that that doesn't make me sound intolerant... I'm fine with religious people, I swear! :lol:

Ugh, so how 'bout that blogging.

It's the same way with me. I am irked by two forms of religious application: By using it as an excuse not to have to think for yourself, or as a means to impose your will on others.

Precisely. As long as someone isn't doing any of that, they can be religious all day long. :lol:

Indeed. Actually, I'm quite an admire of religious scholars. And I... may have had a bit of a thing for men of the cloth. In the past. Maybe.

Flink is agnostic. But as far as her family's concerned she's atheist which means she secretly worships Satan, is actually pagan, and has hawt orgies when she comes home late from work. -cackle-

To be honest, the only thing Flink doesn't like about the religion her family follows is they think it's perfectly fine to teach her nephews, oldest is 5 youngest are both 3 that she's going to Hell (Flink) because she doesn't believe in God.

The one time she felt the worst about them doing this was when the oldest was crying wondering why he had to split up with Flink because since he was going to Heaven and she wasn't. But Flink couldn't say, "You can go with me." She had to say she'd send him postcards. >.>

LOL! Flink! Wouldn't the make-believe fire and brimstone destroy the postcards before they got them? :P

:rofl: This is exactly why I hate religion. I'm agnostic too, simply because I don't see the damn point in arguing one point or the other. People typically look at agnosticism as people who're just playing it safe in case "Judgment Day" comes, but for me it's more of a "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND SIT DOWN!" kind of thing. I don't see the point in arguing the existence of a deity, or the lack thereof. People are going to do what the hell they're going to do, and there's no stopping them. End of story.

Lol, Biggles. :rofl: I could see you dating a priest. I bet you have fantasies about being pressed up against the cold stained glass with the organ playing mournfully in the background. ;)

I know, I don't believe in hell or a judgment day, and yet, wanting to be a future scientist, there isn't really proof one way or the other. Besides, technically just believing there MIGHT be a god/gods/deity wouldn't save you from damnation anyways. And I don't think I could date someone who was religious either. At the very least they would have to be only barely religious, or at least very tolerant of my beliefs too.

I had to write a paper for Religions class on what my beliefs are. It was interesting, but my teacher made sure there was a lot of room for those of us who aren't religious.

I just remembered I started a dream diary type blog because I have CRAZY dreams. I was going to do it with my sister but she flaked out. There's no reason why I couldn't start it up again though... Although I think I have to change the name, since it has her name in the address too.

Men in the cloth do look sexy. Or rather, some of them do. <.<

My mom is semi-Wiccan, but at the time I was going to church and was religious, she was moreso. Also, I was a kid. So they'd start saying shit like "ALL PAGANS AND WICCANS ARE GOING TO HELL" and I got really upset. :/ They drill that fear into you so you feel obligated to convert people because you don't want them to go to hell. I remember trying to convince my mom and friends of mine to go to church and be religious because I didn't want them to go to hell. Ugh.

As for men of the cloth... I always thought that white collar they have was a brushed metal clip. Don't ask me why. I didn't go to a church with priests, so I really only saw the occasional one on TV, and the lighting always made it look gray and metal. Finding out it was just a white strip was disappointing. I really wanted to stick a magnet on their neck.

You could stick a magnet like a cow on them! I have one. It'd be highly amusing.

Yeah, I don't think I ever believed in hell. My church didn't really stress it. Plus, I was Roman Catholic so we have purgatory and I think that was also said too. If there IS a hell, I think it would be becuase of your actions, not your religious beliefs.

This. I've never been able to swallow the idea that peacemakers like the Dali Lama are bound for a pit of fire, where as people like Hitler*, who had a working relationship with Christianity, get a pass.



* I hate bring Hitler into this. He's overused as an example. And I can't stand the
"OMG Hitler iz pure evil" approach. He's human. He's the worst of humanity, but more complex than just evil.


@ Facade: well, now I do. And that is now my Yahoo status, to boot.

And do you know WHY they never caught that maniac it was because the HOFF was that maniac.

What maniac?

THE Maniac. You know, the one. That did that THING.

It was chaos! -has no idea what's going on- XD

Where am I? D:

I have an overwhelming sense that someone stole my ketchup! :gonk:

:stare: Biggles! It was you, wasn't it? :evil:

-hides the ketchup- What's this catch.... up? Are we chasing someone? o.O

... :ninja:

Flink. Give me the red stuff. NOW!

Don't make me press this button. You know what will happen when I press this button?

TEN THOUSAND KITTENS WILL BURST INTO FLAME. :evil:

I just bought ketchup yesterday! Maybe it magically teleported to my house?

Facade's post is funny because Flink's signature is currently displaying Robin Wilson in Mrs. Doubtfire when his chest caught on fire... I have nothing else worth while to add to this conversation.

Cherry. Really?

You can't even go over to Flink and steal the ketchup for me? :(

-steals Fairy's ketchup- :ninja:

Oh Mrs Doubtfire and her sweater kittens. Always getting into shenanigans.
