106. Sheeit,

you think you're gonna get banned for something like this? No way. Mocked, debated, mobbed by angry_________, but banned, no. This isn't trolling, it's just an unpopular opinion re: the religion, not the rest of it.

I would trade out fundamentalist religion for the overarching religion and I think you've got a good 'un here. Why would I make that distinction? Well, because I was raised in a fundamentalist sect, got out of there as soon as possible and then went on to have more than one pretty direct brain to _______________ that I couldn't and can't explain. And only one was a NDE, so ? Anyway, I finally settled it for myself by deciding that whatever one believes, that's cool as long as they don't kick sand in my face. It's one of the small beefs I have with Bill Maher - dude, I'm okay with your atheism, just quit hitting me over the head with it.

Religion is just window dressing over something we can't wrap our minds around, whether it be God, Goddess, black holes in the Cosmos, or the seconds that seem to spread to lifetimes as ketamine floods our dying brains, whatever.

I chose Wicca. I liked how it spoke to me. I always joke that I let Jesus play in my sandbox because he's cool but his dad doesn't play well with others, so fuck him. I've met fundamentalist Wiccans and they are as amusing and horrifying as fundamentalist Christians or fundamentalist Muslims. Small minds have the fundies.
