I'll do my best, but it's really a lot of common sense stuff. Mainly living life in moderation, but I tried to live my life like Buddha did. I've been very poor, and i've been moderately wealthy, and now i'm pretty much in the middle. But I also live mentally and behaviorally moderate, as well.


That does seem kind of common sense. What do you believe about the after life?

And one tiny request - could you quote me when you post? I keep missing your posts because I didn't see you sneak in like a ninja. smile

I'm posting from my phone, and deleting things takes forever. Please quote me individually.

While I say i'm a Buddhist, i'm not one officially, i'm more just more aligned to their beliefs. As far as an afterlife goes, i've seen spirits, so I know something happens to our energies, but i'm not sure what.

i'm agnostic or whatever it's called. not atheist, i'm pretty sure i'm not that. i just can't remember what the difference is
i might be atheist
i'm a see-it-to-believe-it person, so god and faith don't sit well with me

and for drinking, in family settings, to moderation, it's legal

And hello. Jewish people (I'm sorry what's the proper name of the religeon? I'm sure it's not jewishism...) have some neat traditions.

At the risk of being rude, I just have to interject, here...
So, uh... You want to lead a religious discussion?


What's with the emphasis on the You?

I don't want to lead anything. I just like to ask questions and learn. If that's admitting my ignorance and looking a bit silly for a moment - I'm good with that. I'm good with just talking too though if that's what other people wanna do.

Somebody already educated me on the fact that it's Judaism, but if you see something else I said that was off, feel free to educate me. I'm listening.

Lol, I don't get head-banging, pass-out drunk. I can still think. But, I tend to dance...and sing...xD. I also never drink and drive, never ever.


As long as you're being responsible. smile And that is kind of funny.

I think agnostic is when you believe in some higher power, but it's kind of vague, and Atheist is when you don't believe there is a higher power.

And if you're a see-it-to-believe-it type that makes sense that faith wouldn't sit so well with you.

I can do that smile

And okay. That makes sense. You know I'm not quite sure about all the logistics of the afterlife, but I'm pretty sure we go somewhere. Some of us. I also strongly believe some people stick around and don't go anywhere.

No, it's not when I just say it because I've been singing for 14 years and dancing for 9. So, when I'm drunk...and I sing and dance...it's...very different than how I usually do xD

I feel a sudden desire to see you get drunk, but that sounds really freaking funny. I have an aunt that only dances and sings well when she's drunk. No idea what's up with that. XD

xD Lol, my mom is really funny when she's drunk. She says the weirdest things. And the funniest things. My sister needed her shirt ironed and she asked our mom and my mom's like "Do it yourself, I'm drunk." and it was really funny xD

XD. I love how this thread keeps getting off topic like this. Last time, we were talking about the couch that we apparently have. And now we're on drunken funnies. LOL...

No I was actually going to mention that we seem to be the only two still lurking about in here at the moment, and I am beginning to wonder if my personality grates on people.... Or if it's the fact that there are some things that I'm honestly ignorant about...but that's what questions are for right.

I don't know what do you think? I think something a certain somebody said might just be bugging me a bit. I guess I just don't know if it should be bugging me or not.

Oh sorry. It was in here a couple posts back. Somebody inferred that I should not be leading a religious discussion when I'm using words like jewishism. I'm not trying to lead anything, I'm just trying to meet some people and cure my ignorance by asking questions...But anyways, when people kind of poof, I can't help but wonder if it's my ignorance or my personality that's grating on them, or if it's nothing to do with me at all.

No,it's not you. Some people are naturally sour and rude and miserable, so don't pay attention to it. People make mistakes and it's ok. Questions are ok, too.

Speaking of questions, what exactly is Pagan?

Okay. I was always the awkward duck as a kid and I guess I'm more insecure about it than I realized. Thanks for being so encouraging. smile

Now about your question. Pagan is an umbrella term that covers many paths and basically mean not Christian or Jewish or Muslim. There's a more specific term for what I am, but I'm not a fan of long labels. *shrug* Just simply saying Pagan works for me. As to what I believe, in case you were going to ask that - I'm polytheistic and worship many Gods and Goddesses, mostly Greek, but a few important ones aren't Greek at all.

Since I'm trying to become active (or at least a little bit more active) on this guild, I decided to post in here, too... And the thread subject seems to apply to me anyway. One more pagan here. I'm a Finnish recon. :3
