Oh wow, this is still around? I guess I’ll just elaborate on my first post, than.

Generally, I could care less about what somebody believes in…I’m more concerned with how their faith helps them in every day life. For example: Church bake sale to help a local cancer victim = Good. WBC picketing funerals = Bad.

To me, religion is largely a form of self expression (like any kind of art). So, I tend to treat somebody who’s saying “Ban gay marriage, ban stem cell research, ban abortion” the same way I treat somebody who’s explaining to me why “Death Magnetic” is a good album.

If I were religious…I’d probably be Taoist. I’m very interested in the philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism, and when I read Taoist text (like the Tao Te Ching) it really seems to hit home with me.
