I realized I hadn't blogged in almost a month, and that I wasn't finished with this 30 days of truth (which is more like 4 months in my house) so I'm gonna get back at it.
Religion: I was raised liberal catholic. At the ripe age of 19 I realized it didn't resonate with me and I left the church. I explored other christian religions and then in my early 20s realized that they didn't either. So I left religion behind for good. Once I was no longer searching for a 'church' I realized what I was searching for was a connection to something deeper, something more meaningful: I was searching for a connection to the divine. I haven't completely found it, but I have more spiritual connectedness now than I did when I belonged to a religion.
Now, as far as what YOU think about religion? I don't care. I won't bother you if you don't bother me. i don't think you need to think like I think, nor do I want to think like you. I don't need your disgust, or your anger, or your pity, or your prayers that I'll start believing like you. Fair enough?
Politics: I'm liberal. Socially, fiscally and with my curse words. I lobby for children, the disabled, the poor, the under-served and the unrepresented. I believe in taxes and social services and YES I wish we had nationalized health care. I believe we need more corporate responsibility and less money spent on war. I'm a LIBERAL - not just democrat.

A liberal? I love you even more, now. You my kind of people!
