1. Were you raised in a particular religious faith?
No. My parents were not religious in amy way. My grandparents, aunts and uncles were however…
2. Do you still practice that faith? Why or why not?
Remember that speech that Ferris Buehler gives about ism’s? Well, lets just say that that stuck with me. I’m not a big fan of religion. Recently, though, a friend of mine has me rethinking that…
3. What do you think happens after death?
I dont know… Thats why they call it death.
4. What is your favorite religious ritual (participating in or just observing)?
Weddings are cool. At least there, everyone is happy.
5. Do you believe people are basically good?
Yes, I think that people are basically good. I think that there are alot of ways that people can lose sight of themselves, and become not so good.
I have this personal philosophy that I apply to my firends, basically it says to leave people alone, dont try to tell them what to be or how to act, because that’s just your perception. maybe they aren’t ready to hear that, or maybe they genuinely have not developed to the point that they recognize that they might need to change some things.
I think that in order to really help your friends, you are first there to listen to them, and provide advice only when asked. And if you are going to criticise, then be constructive.
So, generally I think people are good, and mostly they are sort of right where they need to be. Time and personal development will take care of the rest.
This of course is wholly separate from my ideas about stupidity - which is rampant in our society.
