It's really strange that I am the most religious one, I'm jew-ish (dammit used the ish joke two posts in a row)... Actually, I don't know about Akuma.

I'm actually fairly religious.  I can't stand most other Christians, especially in the South, but I know a lot about the Bible and am pretty attached to Christianity, although I rarely if ever go to church.  I'm really into collegiate research on Christianity and the Bible.

It helped that I was more or less agnostic for awhile.  I regularly end up siding with secular progressive people on social issues because I disagree with most of what the Republican party stands for, except some economic issues.  Most of my friends are atheist or agnostic, and I generally prefer those kind of people to religious people.  They are just easier to get along with generally and don't have their heads up their ass.  Not to mention they usually have better taste in art, my other big passion.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
