Aww man.

I was hoping we'd have some Amish people here.

Oh well.

I live about 20 minutes away from the capital of the Amish in Lancaster, PA. I respect that lifestyle. Plus they don't have to pay taxes. Good for them.... I do not however respect when people try to pass a buggy without caution and almost crash into me head-on.

Yup, that's gotta count for something!
I was born that way, but I studied it myself and know it's the truth.

I go to school about 30 minutes from them! I respect them, but clearly most others don't... The Meninites in Lanaster are nicer anyway... do you live 20 minutes away east, north, or west?

I was born into a Presbyterian family but we rarely went to church.

I was recently baptized and confirmed Catholic

And there are meninites here in kirksville too. They're interesting people but i've never struck a conversation with them.

Baptized Catholic.
By choice: Agnostic.

I'm about 20-30 minutes southeast from Lancaster.

ZebraRampage · 09-07-2004, 11:48 AM

I live about 40-50 minutes southeast of Lancaster. I've only had to pass a few buggies, yet I haven't had the troubles you've had Germy.

Oh and about my religion.

At birth, I was Catholic. By choice I'm Agnostic.

A very liberal Seventh Day Adventist.

Crono · 09-07-2004, 02:15 PM

Baptized as Roman Catholic. I'm kind of agnostic at the moment.

ulala06 · 09-07-2004, 04:49 PM

yeah, religion causes too many prejudices, in my opinion anyways

Anyway, I'm not sure why I said any of that. *shrug*

Excellent explanation of why many non-religious people still love Christmas, like myself (in a traditional sense). As the song says, its the most wonderful time of the year.

Raised: Methodist, which is basically Christianity for lazy people. Our weddings are rediculously short. The first time I went to a Catholic wedding I was both confused (Why is everyone getting up? Should I get up? They're eating a cracker. Do I get a cracker? I'm hungry too, you know. Wine? They get WINE? CATHOLICISM ROCKS!!!) and bored to tears because it lasted... um... three days I think.

By Choice: Monotheist. I believe there are many paths to one God.

I have a question about Catholisism.

Does it not say in the bible that to talk to god for him to forgive you, you need no middle man? So where the hell did the confession booth thing come from? Why do you need to tell someone else to tell god to ask for forgiveness?

So to sum it all up....Why is there a middle man, when it states you need none for god to forgive you?
