Yeah. I always believed there is a hint of evil in everyone and everything :/

Black Friday is just starting to become popular up here, but I avoid the malls like the plague for it. I prefer Cyber Monday ha ha ha.

My issues are with the Church as an institution. The one I attended is very judgmental and cliquish, not to mention the assistant youth group leader was convicted of being a part of a child pornography ring. He used to bring boys to a vacant lot in the north end of our town and photograph them.

Bad eggs in every area of life though I suppose?

I do. There are people who are more into faith than going to Church just for the heck of it and I've met some. Personally I think a healthy balance between the two can also be good. For instance, if you're going to Mass or a service where "love one another" is one of the key rules, you can't be coming off as a racist ignoramus on your personal time. That's the way I see it, anyway.

My thoughts are more on the religion side of things. I was raised Baptist, but the church we went to was kind of wonky as it comes to beliefs and such. Very clique-ish, but I suppose that happens anywhere. I dislike "Church", but very much am into faith... if that makes any sense.

Thats why i feel sorry for the people who believe that if they are 'bad' they will burn in hell for eternity.

As someone once said, if we're only good out of fear and hope for a reward, we sure are a sorry lot.

But Catholicism is a choice I made, and I'm happy I made it.

In all honesty, I'm very much a lapsed Catholic. I'd like to believe in a higher presence or something along those lines but I'm too much in control of my own life to believe anything other that it's myself that controls my own destiny. It's a good way to live - but I admire and respect both sides of the coin. If you are religious, I'm glad you have the comfort of a religion to help you if you should need it and I certainly won't question your beliefs. If you're athiest/agnostic then also good for you because you believe in yourself instead of an almighty deity that influences your life choices.

The only issue I have is when people fail to practice what they preach. THAT'S ANNOYING.

I never tell people they are wrong (unless they are) I only ever debate, which I'm entitled to do.

Leon, you're doing Catholicism right. After all I've seen from some American Christians, I'm glad that someone, at least someone, is doing it right.

@Tiffany, you can comment if you want. One thing about me that everyone should know is that hardly anything bothers me, so I'm not the easiest person to offend. I'd never be like "How dare you comment on this, I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!!!!"

@Alpha, what my message meant is that I just want someone who would accept me just as much as I would accept them. Even if Catholics didn't allow dating people from different backgrounds (I'm so glad they do), I'd be open to step outside my own little box. I let everybody go their own way, but I'd definitely be more preachy about my religion when lies and slander are involved.

@Loco, I'm right in the buckle of the Bible Belt. ._. It's hard to find someone who doesn't have that kind of mentality.

@Rowan, as long as you don't tell me how "wrong" I can be about my decision I don't see why I should bother you by trying to shove my beliefs down on you. You're an adult who's chosen to be an Atheist, and I'm sure you've had some time to think before making that decision.

I like people for who they are. But racism is pretty much alive these days, as much as no one would like to admit it. Has anyone seen the pics? I'm Hispanic. I'm pretty much a minority in a few areas though I'm glad it's not as bad as 50 years ago >_>

I've also met a lot of people who would treat a religious person like a dog because they're religious. It goes both ways... I prefer to just let that slide and judge people on what they do and not on what they believe.

Alpha, someone who believes I'm going to hell and that I'm a sinner an will suffer for eternity bothers me. Someone who will respect me enough to not push their beliefs on me and respect me has my respect. You would be surprised how many people I've met who treat me like a dog because I'm atheist.

Alpha - so long as that person isn't trying to push his/her beliefs (or nonbeliefs?) on me, I agree with you wholeheartedly. When the "my way is the right way" or worse, "my way is the only way" attitude comes along... I don't care if it's the most attractive person to grace the earth, that is just unacceptable.

Living in a southern state, I can see what Leon is talking about, even if it isn't quite as bad this far west.

I like people for who they are - personalities - not who/what they believe in.

Honestly I'd hope that a person's religion wouldn't influence whether you liked them or not. That's just me though.

I like you Martin. I liked you before I learned you were theist/catholic and I still like you as a person after learning that you are catholic.

I thought you should know that (Y)

This came up in the activity stream, LOVE that you are playing VIII. Its my fave

I don't want to comment on your personal stuff as its personal and I don't really know you. I'm sure you will find your special someone though.

I had problems with Ultima, got a few Game Overs from him so I hardly had time to Draw Ultima from him. I haven't even challenged Omega yet, I just went straight for Ultimecia.

Just a quick one regarding FFVIII progress - I'm on disc 3 with 100 of every rare magic. Including Ultima. I went down to the Deep Sea Research Center with a level 100 party, took on Ultima at his strongest (as I will Omega with the same result as I've never once Game Over'ed against him) and stood there drawing Ultima from him. It was rather embarrassing to be honest. But statswise I'm past endgame. It's a bit mad.

I tried signing in for TCG Online, but it was too slow for me x_x
