Awesome.

Oh, and by the way, I also play drums at a Christian church. If you can believe it, I agree with almost everything they believe, with the two minor exceptions of the anthropomorphication of the immutable forces of nature into a silly character of obvioulsy human-based design, and the deification of a mortal man who had a simple message that is almost universally ignored by those who use his name as an excuse for their selfish actions. Just those two things. Well, also anything else that is derived from these misunderstandings.

But, really, I agree with almost everything else, except just those two things. And their derivatives.

Really. Somewhere in there is the same basic message you can get from any other source, you just have to peel away about a thousand layers of bureaucracy, entrenched social injustices, political motivations, machinations for total domination of the male gender, etc.

But there's good stuff in there. Under all that. Really.

Religion: Good and wholesome and loving and everything else, with a bit of superstition in there.

ORGANIZED Religion: The devil.

I have an interesting history with religion. I was raised a Baptist but went evangelical in my teens. I grew out of that and went New Age in my early college years. Which got me into Taoism and Buddhism. I've explored Reform Judaism. If I had to identify myself with one religion, I would consider myself an Universalist Unitarian.

I think it can be successfully argued that Univeralist Unitarian isn't actually a religion. I believe they are a bunch of people who just want something to do on Sunday mornings.

Well he used to have sex to the rhythm of the church bells, but the ice cream man drove by and it killed him.

The answer to the first three is Jewish and the answer to the last two is Islam.

I remember one time I was in a store and the salesman, who it turns out was also Jewish, called me a landsman. I'd never heard the phrase before, so it took me a few seconds to figure it out.

BTW, noone has ever called me the "K" word (that I know of).
