I am not religious and do not belong to any religious sect. I do have beliefs. My beliefs may or may not be different from your religious views, but that doesn’t make me different from you. We are all human beings. Religion does a good job at separating us into different kinds of human (e.g. Catholic, Islamic, Jewish, etc.). Underneath all of those titles we tend to forget no matter what your religious label is we, collectively, are all the same. We are made out of the same stuff.
Oh, before I forget, please comment. I'd like to know your thoughts.

lol you are too funny. I had a note about this on my FB about when I use to travel to NY for the mag and how there was this one guy on th etrain. And I believe he had to be the nicest guy ever although he dressed real gothic.
I will paraphrase my FB story. I had to sit in front of him that day. I was skeptical but I said, he hasnt done anything so far; today will not be the day that he chooses to do anything. Anyhooooo, so he was on the phone with some chick and he said to her, “you are gorgeous in your own way. You are your own God and no one can judge you. Don’t try to change for anyone because you will not be happy with yourself. Don’t you see the way I look, do I care what people think? If I did I would have changed. You are beautiful.”
Lol I thought this was my own blog for a second but ppl fail to realize that.

yea I read that note of yours and you’re right we should judge people so quickly because we are pretty much all the same

I feel you on this one. Organized religion is one of the most divisive forces in the history of the entire world. Nothing has caused more wars and strife than religion. I am not taking sides and choosing any kind of a religion over the other but this is simple historical fact. Jews, Muslims, and Christians have been at war since the beginning of time and what has come out of it?
Iv’e dabbled in Christianity because hey, that’s what most people in my part of the world study. But as I got older I became enlightened and started to use my own mind to determine my path in life. I still live a righteous life and try to love others and live in a just manner. That’s how I live and how I stay sucker free without religious intervention.
