		<description>In response to your blog comment to me...

Ah, I see what you mean :) I understand, sometimes I feel like I want more ritual in my spiritual life, or someone to talk about these things without having to categorize everything. 

Anyway, I hope you didn&#039;t mind me posting your stuff. I just think it&#039;s great! :)

ps- thanks for saying hello</description>

		<description>As you can see from the comic, I have mixed feelings about religion, which is frustrating.  I can understand why people are turned off by it (I&#039;ve gone through a bitter atheist phase myself, in some ways I&#039;m still stuck there), but at the same time I&#039;ve seen some positive stuff come out of it.  I&#039;ve also seem some horrible, ugly stuff come out of it.

I took a &quot;What Religion Are You?&quot; quiz a while back, and it said I was a Secular Humanist.  Sounds interesting.  I&#039;m sure there will be some things I like and some things I don&#039;t.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not a big fan of religion. That&#039;s pretty much all I have to say.</description>

		<description>Raised a Luthern, I was told (to quote Sarah Silverman) that &quot;Jesus is Magic&quot; but all the comics and movies I read and watch are Hollywood hooey and to understand the difference.
Well...that understanding never formed since hooey is hooey is hooey.

Who needs religion when modern society has things like this:

http://www.americanhumanist.org/index.html

that do all the &quot;work&quot; of religion ideals, with none of the magic or ritual killing to get people to believe what you do.</description>

		<description>I have to say that I concur with this completely. I kinda church hop now. I was raised Catholic, attended a Presbyterian church in college and now occasionally attend a Methodist church. The best part of religion I think is the fellowship and inspiration to do better.</description>

		<description>If the heat is making you angry, then I hope you don&#039;t plan on moving to Arizona or the jungles of South America.</description>

		<description>To Vince - I&#039;ve never had a candy bar talk to me.  Vanilla flavored cookies, that&#039;s a different story.

To Jon - Thanks again for your homespun wisdom.</description>

		<description>Y&#039;know, there&#039;s a limit to things that people will give up....looks like you&#039;ve discovered yours.  B&#039;sides, with giving up caffeine, meat, and aspertame-laden drinks, you have enough to watch out for.</description>
