I'm glad you have been. It's pretty much precisely where I am spiritually myself, and it somehow gives me that everything-is-big-and-connected feeling to know that you grok it that way, too.

This is worth repeating. It's become my exact view on my family. It has to be.

Dig the ad campaign.

This about sums it up for me:

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion." ~ Abraham Lincoln

I post it a lot. It's on my Facebook page.


CNN just did a story about Jim Jones and the Guyana mass suicide and that tragic bit o' history is enough for me wanting never to be involved with an organized religion ever again. The story creeped me out as a kid and it creeps me out now as a big kid. I remember watching the movie Guyana Tragedy as a kid and then going to church later on that week. I remember thinking 'how is this different from Jonestown?' I just can't put myself in a place where I'm supposed to speak and sit and stand just like everyone else and feel good about it. I like thinking for myself.
