This is the problem with LJ, we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don’t know about you.

Are you religious / spiritual?
I can’t remember if I have ever read anything regarding your personal beliefs, philosophy, ideas…
I have always been curious 🙂

I am for all intents and purposes agnostic, though it is a bit more complex than just that a I don’t necesarily think there is anything at all. I don’t deny the possiblity, but in the same way that I don’t deny the possiblity of mental powers or spririts. I think in this world, nay, this universe there are things greater than our understanding can possibly comprehend and I don’t put a lot of time or effort into trying to believe or disbelieve.

What I am, though, is anti-religious. I think that religion is almost a crutch to many people and they have a hard time taking their lives into their own hands because the rely too heavilly on something that may or may not be true or helpful. I think religion also uses faith as a scapegoat somtimes, explaining that bad things happen because people angred their gods, or because it’s part of a plan. I belive more in chaos, but I’m also not a chaotic.

Lets face it, I just wander around this world experiencing it free of tethers (or at least as much as I can).

What really pisses me off the most though, is when people either attempt to force religion on you through propoganda or guilt (by not believing in our god, you will be punished for eternity), or people who ask you if you believe in something by implying that it existence is undeniable in the first place (do you believe in God?). Thank you for asking your question in a neutral manner.

Hmm, that was longer than expected. Rant over, I guess.

We met in the dorms, actually, in Bruce Hall. My best friends was interested in her immediately, and she him. In fact, the first time I was officially introduced to her, we were playing Magic, and she walked up and started flirting with him. He cordially introduced her to everyone else at the table and she said directly to my face that she didn’t “give a fuck who” I was. Anyway, that was in like ’94 I guess. A little while later, she started going out with my best friend and the three of us became very comfortable together. The whole rocky introduction was past tense by then.

She dated him for a year (I’m pretty sure on that, I don’t think it was two… I think it was almost a year exactly), and during that time, I could hardly get a date and I was consistenlty more and more depressed. Just before they broke up, I started dating this girl that was probably certifiable. My relationship with Heather after she broke up with my friend got really blurry and our first kiss was kind of spontaneous. I was walking through the “Red Room” and she was studying, sad and depressed, so I surprised her with a kiss full on the lips to cheer her up. She said it was unexpected and wanted another try at it. Things were kind of calm for a while, then the girl I was dating pretty much faded out of the picture.

Later I realized that I really was in love with Heather and things really took off from there. We dated for a year or better, had a two year engagement and in ’98 we got married.

That wasnt long at all! Heh, usually when someone asks me anything remotely near the same topic they are there for at least several pitchers!
I have never been one to sum views on spirituality easily.

I agree with you about anti-religion. Seeing the “control” it had over my mother was enough for me to question what was going on. And I personally believe that beliefs/faith is and can be completely seperate of one another. I learn lessons, for example: I love to read and study Zen and Taoism and Buddhism…and take things that will make me stronger from it. But I just cannot turn myself over to “something” (hard to explain). I have always been a deeply stubborn gal when it comes to that. A religious anarchist if you will…

IMO,(for example) it is “religion” that is about to make the disastrous and heart-gutting decision to change our constitution’s cites on marriage.

Thank you for replying to my question 🙂

Aaron was in the front, beatmixing the Mortal Kombat soundtrack on my car’s cd player. You, Mike, and Heather were in the back, and Heather kept showing off her Garfield panties. We wound up on Beltline for close to an hour before finding the way back to 35. I remember the weirdest things.
