Ha, can have 6!

More so I think I want to be fine with it should it come up, so I don't mentally need to prepare to go play magic the gathering or to church.

Something I didn't much think of when I was young, but I have always planned my future for me and only me. Though I had said when I was small I didn't want children people said I would change my mind when I got older, and I didn't. Same about marriage and, no part of me wants married life. I have many theories, such as I have never met anyone I remotely felt was interesting. Sometimes I think I just don't want to live around people, who will mess with my fragile balance (I've always been kind of unhappy, I imagine once I am finally alone, I can finally make a home how I want it-and I can't just let someone else ruin that). I don't feel alone in the actual sense, I don't think anyways. In a weak physical sense I guess. Some people have called me misanthropic for some of the things I have said. I remember joining a dating site and... after like a week was completely unsure why I did. I wasn't interested in meeting people, and apart from some laughs that were had when people were scared of my dolls, it was a useless endeavour. I don't know quite what to say to the whole misanthropy thing, I don't feel I have any problems, I am perfectly fine being alone. I don't like being the center of attention, as I was at church, I am used to lurking about in the shadows, only appearing when I choose. Though sometimes my mind just seems to forget religion, but that's probably the whole Asperger's thing. It jumps and it will focus on something and really only on that, my mind is always racing. Today I created a whole story, just by making a joke about a boat with a swimming pool... I didn't know where to put this, my rambling thoughts... Just something I felt the need to share.

well that is true, does it make me a weaker person for not having faith through all that?

I donno, if God really wanted me to be faithful, not sure why he'd make my life go as it is, which makes me often doubt his existence something to ponder I guess (for me)

do you have to be married to go to the Celestial Kingdom?

Does anyone know, is it written somewhere? What do you do while you are there?

night owl, wish church was like at 11:30 lol

oh and how, a lot of religions seem afraid almost, and threaten you to join, the LDS church seems confident in itself, least that's the vibes I get when I see the leaders (and right down to the members and missionaries) talk about it.

There is misguided religion everywhere... mind you I have not heard of a Mormon Holy War, I think its the only church that seems to pride itself on its kindness and the fact people haven't been slaughtered in the name of their religion

yeah, besides work I really don't do all that much, and with the laptop I can write anywhere. I don't have things like family or regular church schedule, at work all I do is think up idea's for my stories and have them play out in my head

Basically its a thing that goes on in November in that you write a book (50 000 words) in that month. Last year I completed it, a story about a woman who became a knight and saved a prince, married him and the two went on other adventures. This year I am a tad torn, one story a more comedic and silly fantasy sort of story based on my dolls and another I call the "Mormons in Space" story (basically the future and what the LDS church is like then, and two elder's encounter with some dangerous aliens) It has a happy ending. Anyone heard of this/taken part in this before?

yes but people often focus on the negative minority no matter how small, some people anyways. I don't assume people who disagree with gay marriage and such are those Westbro Baptist Church (sp?) types, I do know some people, atheists mainly, do think they are, but like any grouping of people there are some who are well versed and such and some who are not.

my day was well, found a great ensemble for one of my dolls I ought to show off. yes if you disagree with religion where does that leave you? I do think religion is in a sort of decline. I'll use my family as an example (my dad's side as there are far less of them) my grandparents are very devout Catholic's, their kids went to church but weren't devout themselves (stopping when they moved out), and none of the kids were raised in any real religious homes (apart from the communion for the grandparents- as I was told when I was explained what was going to go down-I flat out said I didn't believe in what they were telling me but I was promised money so went along with it). I talk to a lot of people and its like that, I don't know anyone who goes to any church (and yet my city has so many... I often wonder where these people live who go there). Nor have I ever known anyone who did. Perhaps its where I live? I donno, Canada and the US are very different when it comes to religion.

well that's what they told me, doesn't matter what you call information my mind holds, really

statistics are made in my mind from what people I have encountered have told me (in recent years, I was never around people with vastly different beliefs then me when I was younger) its a flawed system, yes.

No, but statistically it is the most common so, by the math I have an edge (but once again math has failed me)

I always disagreed with the whole God given rights, because Canada and the US (for example) has added rights (women, natives, black people the right to vote, end of slavery, etc) In the 1940s the US (and Canada) took the rights away from Japanese-Americans, simply because they were Japanese. They had nothing to do with Japan, but because they were ethnically Japanese they were thrown into camps. Rights aren't rights if you can take them away. If God did give us rights, he wouldn't let humans take them away.

Your country? Well no, simply how the US was founded, because they were being forced a doctrine on them in England But I don't pretend to understand religion in the US government, I don't live there. religion doesn't seem to have any real place in the Canadian government it seems (I assume, due to our great multiculturalism and that's a thing we seem to like)

I'd never be in an open relationship, and none of the gay people I know have been in them. And I have certainly never been told I was a bigot for opposing the concept of an open relationship. I always though the "traditional marriage" got more harm from celebrities who treat it like a joke, it was that, which made me see marriage as largely useless when I was younger.

I asked my father that as a small boy and he told me, roughly "I think you would know, something within you would know-he wouldn't need to tell you"

I agree church and state should be separate. I don't like the idea of a church being in the government, no more then a government should be in a church. A government has no right to dictate a church's doctrine, or force them who to marry. Alternatively, I don't think a church has any right to force a doctrine on a population - especially due to the diversity in this day and age (there being other religions and atheists) Many people are quick to judge and what not, and yes there is a double standard, I see it constantly. I enjoy having conversations about my beliefs and others beliefs, and while I am completely against trying to push my beliefs on others, I am not against simple conversation (problem is, most people don't know how to have a friendly conversation and it breaks down into insults and "you're wrong") and I don't think a government can take away faith from someone. If you were so quick to loose it, you never had it.

well I think that more comes from the extremes things take. Where some are simply against it, and that's that, there are others who assault and wish death on gays and they being the most vocal are the ones people pay most attention to. A few bad apples ruin the batch - but that's just an example

oh I had/have a rampant paranoia too, though usually of things of a more... supernatural standing (ghosts, aliens, that thing from my dreams)... I leave the tv on, grounds my brain in reality.
