I'm not Christian of any stripe, so I'm sure they'd think I'm Hellbound already
During the later half of my 20s, and the first half of my 30s, I professed to be an athiest, but somewhere in there I realized I *do* believe in a spiritual power, I just happen to think It is something so vast that limiting It to a gender-specific noun or one particular entity who plays favorites with a given group of people is just absurd. When I chose to anthropomorphize It, I tend to lean toward the pagan "Lord and Lady", but that's what works for me. Somebody's Buddhist? Cool. Christian? Whatever. Pastafarian? All rightey! As long as y'all don't ring my doorbell at OMG in the morning on my day off, I don't give a rat's ass. (Killing people in the name of religion?! Gets you reincarnated as a black chicken and sacrificed in a voodoo rite...for your next couple of lifetimes, clucker.) I have plenty of religious tolerance, but *not* a whole lot of patience with assholes.
