haha, RIP50, i took plenty of Bible history courses back in the day, haha, even took a course at HS, haha. i think it is cool that you can express your newfound beliefs while disregarding the morons who trash it. . . never thought of you being a big Christian though. where does it say in the Bible that masturbation is wrong? pull me out a passage and i will let you go on THAT one. . . but nowhere in the Book have I found anything that says masturbation is a sin or is wrong. like i said, proove it with words from the text.
i, myself, have taken an OPPOSITE turn on my faith. ever since my experience here at governor's school, i have become an agnostic, whereas i used to be a christian. i guess you could call me a "semi-atheist". if you asked me if i believed in God, i would say "i don't know". i DO agree wih a lot of things that Jesus said, but i also agree with a lot of the practices of anton lavey and wiccanism. i guess you could say that at this point in my life i am "searching" for my beliefs. i question everything. i can follow nothing blindly. reading a bunch of ayn rand's books has also introduced me to my ego, my individualism i never fully capitalized on, and that only furthers my questioning of where i fit in the grand scheme of things. rand's philosophy of objectivism stresses atheism, but i don't totally agree with that. i think people should believe in something, even if it is nihilism, shamanism, etc. ("and i still believe in nothing. . ." hahaha). i'm glad you've found yours, man.
