Religion.
Continuing my 'reappearance' in AAT I want to flesh out my Religious beliefs. I was born and raised free of Religion, I never 'fell out of grace' I was never in it.  It is only within the last couple of years that I have become solid in my beliefs, or non-beliefs. I had discussion, and arguments over the varied faces of the 'Divine'. I've also come to believe that IF there is a great, guiding force that has created all of this, our actions both good, and bad, will have no bearing on he/she/it.
For the most part my Moral system is the 'Golden Rule' (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.) but flesh out a little more, things like 'Leave this world in better shape than you found it.', ' We are the Universe, trying to understand itself', 'Help those that can't help themselves'. That's the nice side. There is also the other side the 'yang' as you will. 'Never suffer a fool', 'Sometimes, force must be met on it's own terms', 'Even the greatest Patience has it's limits'.
I am Pro-choice, but it's a desicion I hope no one ever has to make. I am against the Death penalty, for the most part, there are those people that are 'irredeemable'. I believe that AIDS can be controlled, but the methods to do so are beyond what a democracy will allow. I believe with 6+ billoin people on the planet that we are grossly overtaxing the system, China has the right idea, but it could be better, and worldwide. I do not believe we have a right to 'spawn'. There are too many people that should not be parents, and the children they produce are hobbled from birth by that fact. In our system here in America it is set up so that the least economically viable have the most children, in general. If in reading this you think me a racist or a bigot, I can assure you, I am not. My beliefs value intellect, and that tends to trancend race. Race is a moot point anyway because we are all 1 race, 1 people. Skin color and heritage should be value in society somewhere below eye color, sadly we have a ways to go yet.

P.S. Panama Jack, You know I'm long winded about topics that have nothing to do about the game I'd like to know if you mind or not. Could you PM me? If I'm reaching too far out of bounds for your tastes, this is your baby, I just play here
