Are you Religious?
So heres the deal....
I happenstance fell upon this religion which is called Bokonism. I love it. To me this one sentence summarizes all I know about belief systems
"The foundation of Bokononism is that the religion, including its texts, is formed entirely of lies; however, if you believe and adhere to these lies, you will live a happy life."
Its really a cool concept and something I thought only I knew about until I stumbled upon this.
Apparently my idea was not mine...In fact somebody else even gave it a name!

Great now you've just given me another book to put on my list of things to read. :P
Man...yet another reminder to myself about reading Kurt Vonnegut's works!
Haha. cool concept - one that I've thought about myself quite a bit. In fact, I find myself thinking along these lines everytime I go to a temple/church. It explains a lot of things better than most religions can, and I still havent heard a good argument against it!
So, what's it going to take to get you to write again? :-)
