We should post here every-now-and-then ;) Awesome thread!
I agree with two of the points made by Brandt above "1) I think patriotism is a product of a primitive human herd
-4) I'm sure the world would be a better/safer place if there where no religion". So they can count as two of mine. I partially agree with a third of his "3) I think religion is for people who needs answers, but are to stupid or lazy to search for them themself." I do think people seek answers and a sense of security in religion. I don't think this necessarily means they are stupid and lazy, but it is easier than being agnostic or athiest! This can be my third.

You have to relate to kids as humans. Never talk down to them or be phony. I love kids and they love me because they know I'm sincere. Kids stare, it's something they do...it's not to be impolite. We all did that as kids.
Well, I respect your opinion even if I don't agree with it, Sandra. Kids aren't for everyone.

Yeah, i know i stared, i probably stared a lot. I probably freaked out a few people like me, haha. I don't talk down to them or anything, i just don't talk to them. Like, at all. It's really embarassing though, whenever a kid talks to me a freak out and don't know what to do or say, so i just smile and walk away or something. I'm still working on it though (: I just hope i grow out of it, because i really want a kid someday in the future.
Yep, we all did. LOL
Keep working on it, you'll get there. Kids are our future and there are so many good ones out there.
You'll grow out of it. I did.

Aaron{{REBLAST}} wrote: "What is the Pagan faith all about, Dawn?"Believe it or not, that question is one of the hardest to answer as each spiritual path is personal and created by the one who is seeking. I believe in deity (actually, more than one) and I believe in personal responsibility. I seek to find the divine in me and in nature around me.
