What Religion Should I Be?

What is God like?
You don't really concern yourself with the question of God
There is no God
God is the Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
There is only one true God
There is one supreme being manifested in many gods and goddesses
God is everywhere
Figuring out more about God (and if there even is a God) is part of your spiritual journey

What is the purpose of life?
Your life's purpose is whatever you make it out to be
To have faith in God and to be forgiven for your sins
To obey God and live your life as ethically as possible
Your purpose in life is to avoid suffering and reach enlightenment
To gain escape ignorance and illusion
Bringing peace and justice to the world
Finding inner peace and harmony
To submit your will to God to go to heaven after you die
What happens after you die?
No one knows for sure.
Nothing, you're dead
You cease to exist.
Reincarnation until you reach enlightenment
You go to heaven or hell
You don't focus on that much. You just focus on living the best life you can right now.

Which of the following practices do you find the most spiritual?
Meditation
You don't really buy into the whole spirituality thing
Prayer
Cultivating detachment
Building community
Celebrating religious holidays and customs

You Should Be An Atheist
So it's not really a religion. But that's the whole point. You don't buy into the whole God thing... or you just don't care. You may feel very alone in a world full of religious people. But just remember, atheism has a long and rich intellectual history.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
