As a very liked character said in his last minutes of life... "I was the arrogant one..." I still think that there's more to atheism than just holding a grudge against organized religion, though. To be honest, I didn't truly settle into my own atheism until recently, when I stopped to really think about it. Questioning one's beliefs is an important part of maturing as a person, in my eyes. Whenever I looked at other ways of life, I came back to atheism because it felt "right" to me. I understand how you feel with having religion shoved down your throat, though. I'm not trying to victimize myself, but I'm a homosexual and I've gotten a lot of "You're immoral!" crap over it. You learn to get used to it, really. The USA still has its fair share of discrimination branching from religion, as does just about any country. I feel that it's important to learn how to live in harmony with people from different religious backgrounds. There will always be disagreements at times, sure, but you learn to accept each other's differences. ![]() ...Sorry for turning this into such a sappy post. I sound like a Yu-Gi-Oh character or something. XD I'm glad this has more or less settled now. I realize that my prejudice is absolutely wrong, but I sort of can't help myself at times. I hope I didn't sound too victimized in my previous post. But it's not an exaggeration. And I want to make it clear that I really know what being an atheist implies, and I have given it some serious thought. I'm not just an atheist so I can be the most contrary to religious as possible. I just don't agree with any religion, and that's why I just picked the one remaining. By the way, you can know that I support 100% homosexuals and homosexual marriage, and I'm proud of you being proud of it. |

You didn't victimize yourself; I understand very well that being in a minority - especially one that conflicts with "traditional" values - can be difficult at times. That, and coming to terms with yourself and others from different backgrounds can also be hard. I'm glad that everything's settled down now, though. *thumbs up* 7. I love Northern Europe, especially Denmark and Iceland. I hope to visit both countries in the future. 8. I have a slight fear of dogs. I think part of this had to do with me being tackled by a huge dog when I was three years old; the dog meant no harm and was just trying to play, but it still scarred my little brain. XD 9. Marzipan is my favorite kind of candy. |

1) I have no idea what I want to study when I leave school. Which is a bit of a problem, since I leave school at the end of this year. 2) I have genuine Lepidopteraphobia. As in, I have a genuine irrational fear of butterflies. I freak out at any photo or realistic picture of them. 3) I bit my nails for 15 years of my life, and then I stopped. Just like that. |

Well, it didn't start recently, I've liked Asian things ever since I was little and was *obsessed* with Sailor Moon kekeke :]Umm more things because I'm bored and I don't feel like going to bed just yet... 7. I hate bugs in general. Not just bees, but ALL bugs. I have a huge fear of them and I do not think they are cute in any way. Seriously, whenever I see a bug, I freak the hell out. 8. I *hate* eating beans, peas, or anything with a soft, mushy texture like that. It's the most disgusting texture of all. If it's like, split pea soup, then I don't mind too much. But anything else is barfo. 9. I'm a sucker for super cute things. Anything Sanrio or San-X is right up my alley, especially if it's Hello Kitty, Chococat, My Melody, Rilakkuma, Mamegoma, etc. 8D |

^ Meh, that's somewhat true. But I don't like it just because everyone else does, or that it's the "cool thing". I'm just interested in their culture, that's all. I don't think there's anything wrong with someone being interested in another culture and admiring them. I have a friend who's white and loves Middle Eastern and Indian things. I also have another friend who loves everything Irish. I could go on and on. You should be proud that people are interested in your culture. What if everybody hated it?? I'm Irish and used to Irish dance and it would always make me feel good that there are dancers who are African American, Asian, Hispanic, etc. To me, it means that you don't need to be a specific ethnicity to enjoy something that's outside of your culture. |

Random) I am proud owner of the worst haircut ever. I'm thinking of getting in professionally styled to suit me. Who cares) I'm horribly afraid of heights and going blind. Meh) I'm also an atheist, mainly because I'm against the idea of an afterlife and that we will all live better lives when we die. Surely, then, we should all either kill ourselves or just make our current lives go to shit. |

^ It takes a special kind of person to make atheism seem emo. 1) I'm an atheist, because religion in general just seems silly to me, and having it shoved down my throat for the last 16 years didn't help. But that's just my opinion. 2) I hate talking to people on the bus, for some reason all of the conversations seem to have strayed into discussing pokemon lately. 3) I think acting geeky is fun sometimes. |

10) I'm agnostic because I honestly don't understand why everyone's debating about if there's a God or an afterlife or not. If there is, there is, and if there's not, there's not. 11) I am a good all rounder academically, but I can't draw and can't do PE for the life of me. ...But I draw anyway. 12) I don't swear. At all.

34) I believe that when people die, their spirit lives on and the person will experience whatever afterlife they believe (or not believe). Reincarnation and ghosts are things that people can choose if they didn't like their life. This way, everyone's happy. 35) I swear a lot on the Internet, but I never swear when I'm talking, except by accident 36) If I ever die, it will be because of 2012, or stomach cancer. |

1) I am a Christian, even though I have no idea how the hell that's different from most other religions... O.o Though I do add my own beliefs to it, like the fact that if we have a strong reason to stay on earth instead of moving on to heaven or hell, we stay on earth as spirits. But, I am hardly religious at all. XP I believe just in case. If there is no God, then there isn't. If there is, then good thing I believed in him. 2) Somehow, at a birthday party/interactive murder mystery thing party in like 3rd grade, I got the nickname Onion, and it stuck. Don't be jumping to conclusions. The only reason I got the nickname was because at the party, my character's name was Annastasia, which can be shortened to Annie, which reminded my friend of a movie with a character names Aunia or something [pronounced like on-ya], which sounded like Onion. XP Confusing, eh? Plus, that friend who made it up is obsessed with food nicknames. 3) ANYTHING ABOUT INJURING, CUTTING, BRUISING, POKING, OR ANYTHING DEALING WITH WRISTS BOTHERS ME REEEEALLY BAD. Seriously, it was EXTREMELY difficult for me to even type that. XP Yet, I watch bloody medical shows almost constantly and can stare at a beating heart without having any problems at all. In fact, human hearts kinda look like blood-covered uncooked chickens... O.o But that's kinda off topic.... |

I would like to go fishing, but the largest body of water in these parts is Laurel Lake, a man-made small lake which is populated by small carp...which are an important food source for the blue herons which come here to rest on thier way to and from the Bay. :/ Not worth it to screw with the local ecosystem. 6.)
