THIS. I love you so fucking hard. Because I think you've summed up like everything I've ever thought about religion this past year: "I am a believer in the Holy Trinity who likes Buddha." Though, to be truthful, I'm so disillusioned with organized religion that I've been trying to convince myself that I don't believe in God, and, um, it's not working. Hah. So... we'll see where that goes?

Anyway. Rock on. You're awesome.

Not necessarily that I'm especially into Buddha, just the whole dropping-Christian-as-a-label-but-still-liking-God-and-Jesus bit. /clarification

I LOVE YOU BACK. And let me tell you from experience, I've been at the I'm-so-fed-up-with-religion-that-I-don't-want-to-believe-in-God-anymore point, and it really sucked. Separating humanity's interpretation of God from who I believe He really is was the best thing that ever happened to me.

And dude, follow the Dalai Lama on twitter. It's kind of awesome and even if you're not into Buddhism, there's some great stuff to be found.
