Nah, not atheism-- I believe there's someone/thing out there, just I don't agree with the Catholic Church or any other church/religion that I know of. They believe that God/Allah/Whatever is illogical and petty, for one thing-- but, looking around at how the universe operates, I don't think an illogical, petty, selfish being could make up a universe that is almost totally logical, you know? Besides, if God sees the 'Big Picture' and mainly cares about that, then why would s/he be just as petty and silly as your nosy neighbor across the way? Hmm? Besides that, I have other reasons why I believe in some sort of god; not for superstitious reasons-- quantum physics. :) But religion-wise, the youth group isn't so bad-- the guy who teaches most of the time (he's the father of the boy who asked me what an ISP is, incidentally) was agnostic/atheistic for a while there, so he's a little bit more relaxed about everything. *But* his thing is, he truly believes what he's teaching, so... But at this point my main gripe against the youth group is just the fact that my parents are *forcing* me to socialize (I hate being forced to do anything); especially with kids (granted, they're about my age, but that's about all we have in common) who have no clue about anything that I find even vaguely interesting and who are interested in the most inane things. *sigh* Oh, well, enough ranting. -- Vikki Roemer Homepage: http://www.2khiway.net/users/vroemer Registered Linux user #2880021 http://counter.li.org/ "Just because you're not paranoid, that doesn't mean they're not out to get you."
