Guedi, my cousin who you've never met has made some assumptions about what kind of food you like to eat. Would you like me to post his thoughts? After all, he did it FOR YOU. He's not just posting food HE likes because he's unbelievably self-absorbed. No. This is stuff he thinks you--for no particular reason--would like.

He's just trying to be nice.

Only if he's discovered a new white creamy condiment I can smear on something.

[guedita]

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

Not really. I was raised Catholic and actually wanted to be a nun for a while, but when I began questioning some of the Church's stances on things...I completely lost interest. In terms of spiritualism, there are times when I moved by something or I feel connected to some type of greater power, but I don't actively pursue this state of being through meditation or anything like that.

I haven't discovered one per se...

... I'm pretty sure we can whip something up.

How many people outside of your immediate family that you talk to on any kind of regular basis remember what you were like as a young girl?

[Double A]

What made you want to be a nun? What exactly made you loose interest in your church?

Probably only my best friend, because we went to Catechism once a week together starting when we were 7 (We didn't become good friends til highschool). Some of my friends I played soccer with starting at age 10, but I don't talk with them that regularly.

Because the Wherein We Post Private Messages For Public Commentary thread got modded, a little offering entitled "thanks"

I'll buy you a beer if we cross paths at the show, thanks for calling me out.

See that, lurkers? That's the way to bend over and open your asshole for me with dignity. Good work, douchebag.

What made you want to be a nun? What exactly made you loose interest in your church?

I loved reading, so I enjoyed reading the bible... I got to be Mary in the xmas pagent, I was the smartest in my catechism class, I thought Jesus was awesome, I was a big fan of Mother Teresa...it just seemed like something I really wanted to do. Probably the fact that no boys had crushes on me had something to do with it, too. I was 9, though. Once I got older and became more critical and inquisitive I would challenge the things we were being taught and would be punished or told I was wrong. I think I had a big problem with reconciliation--theoretically you could just sin your entire life, feel remorse, and be forgiven and enter heaven? I hated that idea and would vocalize that the Church should change the rule. And I would say that some sins didn't really seem like such terrible sins we should even feel sorry for. And then I'd be sent to detention. I mean I also just became interested in other things, like trying to become "cool." And boys (not that they started liking me back)

I still like Jesus (the character from the Gospels) and Mother Teresa.

That almost reads like a romance novel about goatse.

Ha... I was trying to be nice, but I see we don't play that way around here... typical.
Fuck you, and fuck your message board... I'll see you at the show. Quote that Monk.

Sorry Guetida... for the interruption.

[Monklish]

How the fuck can you like Mother Teresa? Mother Teresa is a complete asshole. I'm not even kidding. Mother Teresa got off on watching people die.

[Double A]

I sometimes feel Jesus is just a character.

I ask this because I don't know, but what do you believe happens when you die?

[guedita]

Guedita: liquor of choice?

Whiskey, preferably Jack Daniels. I also really like Maker's Mark with apple juice.

would you date a fat man with with a keen taste for fedoras?

I think she got off more on seeing people in the most absolutely destitute conditions possible. I certainly don't like her as much now as I did when I was a kid, because I'm more informed. I guess my point is I don't hate all things associated with the Church.

[Monklish]

I can't find the exact quote, but there's some line from Mother Teresa in which she says that she feels closest to God when she's with a person in the last moments of their life. Which sounds all cute and shit at first, but then you realize that she's saying she sees God in dying people.

[ballroomdancer22]

sounds like a plot to a suspenseful murder mystery, starring denzel washington as the lead detective on the case

Jesus is a character. There may have been a historical Jesus that lived around the time of Pilate's reign and who was crucified for a crime, but I certainly don't mix that historical Jesus with the textual character Jesus who shows up solely in the narrative form of the Gospels.

What happens when you die? People who loved or knew you dispose of your body in some sort of ritual way, and then they memorialize their experiences with you in a way that helps them grieve and reflect upon their own mortality.

Yeah, she seriously thought people were closest to God when they were suffering the most--so that makes sense. She also just spent all of her charity money on more convents/missionaries and not directly on improving poverty in India.

This I believe... Nice answer, And very true.

[ballroomdancer22]

Guedita: Favorite pizza topping?

[Double A]

Guedita.... do you believe in life after death? What happens to your self after your body has had enough?

[ballroomdancer22]
