Tell me if this is true or false.

Whenever I tell people that I'm agnostic they always seem to first ask me questions about why and if I hang around long enough they'll eventually ask me to go to church or try to evangelize me. They've all been Christians since I don't know anyone that is any other religion This hasn't happened to me just once but probably about five or so times. So, I came up with an interesting question last night while driving home from work. Would Christians try to convert me if I were Buddhist even though they don't believe in a god as well? I'm thinking they wouldn't because Buddhists have already have something to believe in. Isn't being an agnostic/atheist a belief as well? It is after all, the belief in the non-existence of (or saying that we don't know if there is) God. It's like atheists are free agents and religions are teams trying to recruit them. I'll take my time and pick one if I'm ever compelled to. Until then, leave me alone.

I rant on religion too much. Only ten more hours of CIS homework to go!

Is it possible I've gotten rid of my ego without realizing it? Someone must have used one water and two colorless to get rid of it. Muahahaha. Anyway, I dunno, something about me feels different but I'm still me. I feel more fun and outgoing. Damn so tired. I wonder if Eggo's are related to ego. Self-help and self-improvement books are basically books on how to rid yourself of your ego do a certain degree IMO. I share with you, my readers, one of my most prized internet musical discoveries. 8track I'm actually about to go to sleep at 3:30 for once!

Two thoughts related to religion.

I'll start blogging my thoughts since I've always wanted somewhere to keep my random thoughts that I have stashed somewhere. I guess the internet is as good as anything although it could go down. I'll try to speak how I really think instead of trying to make it cool and hip. Maybe I'll share this with people maybe I won't, but for now I'll just pour my mind into this blog. Maybe it'll even help my essay writing ability. Hmmmm, I'll try to use big fancy words to help that objective. I wish there was another word for blogging instead of blog though... Cool it autosaves! No more Facebook notes being deleted by accident. Anyway, onto my first thought I have on religion. I'll probably have a lot of my posts on religion simply because it is such a big part of who I am and has dictated my life a lot. I'll try to be as unbiased as possible but that might be a learning process. I always see people that go on mission trips and from my understanding these...

RIDE THIS WAVE

///GROWING PAINS       Still getting over Allie a bit but it's mainly from thinking of how beautiful she is. We had a strong strong chemistry but some of our interests didn't line up. Main thing was music for me. She's also so young and I forget that sometimes. God, how pathetic am I to express myself in such a way. I'm so grateful she is a good listener. She doesn't just throw anyone off to the wayside or make them feel uncomfortable. More than her beauty, her ability to listen was just incredibly sexy.  It's unfortunate I found this out while I was confessing things to her. Man, I did some fucked up things while I was fucked up. A large chunk of my feelings are gone towards her but I still feel a tug here and there. I'm surprised at how quickly I was able to shake it off.  Erin took me months and months. Is this because I know what it feels like and am better prepared to let go or is it because Allie's listening helped out so much. [man, i need to ...
