blustockingAnd when I say "your", I don't mean "you"...I mean that guy..over there..yeah, him.
I forgot to mention that the other day, when I went to the LACCD board meeting (for Greenpeace, and as a LAVC student) that I had to speak. This is the third time I think...I'm sure they're getting tired of me. I didn't know I was going to have to speak, but that's okay. I did alright. (And the bright orange shirt matches wonderfully with the blue hair...because you know, it's all about color-coordinating when you're saving the world. ;) Anyway, it was a success! Look at the first item that says Victory for March 6th. XD
Now, next week, we get to work on them for 25% solar for all new buildings.
You should have seen them. It was astounding, a real feeling of coming together. We complimented the board and they complimented us. All of them were in favor, even the ones who had previously been skeptical or opposed. It was great to all be on the same page for a greater good, if only for a little while. Now let's hope they stay on that same page.
Oh, and it was at WLAC too. Don't you go there Nej? It's a really pretty campus, reminds me a little of KU with the hilltops and greenery. Perhaps I will move closer to work and go there instead of Valley...

We're like GIR!
Date: 2002-03-14 07:08 pm (UTC)I know. I like it when people have the presence of mind to preface their religious beliefs with, "This is my personal belief system." You're not preachy at all, and I admire that.
I recently saw a car on the road with the bumper sticker "America's last hope are God and the Bible". It made me so pissed off. I literally changed lanes just so I didn't have to stare at it. My roommate has a bumper sticker that says "Witches, Not Just for Burning" on her car. I don't think people should, or should NEED to, advertise their religious beliefs. If someone asks, I'll tell them, or if it's in my journal and I need to write about it, okay. But I don't NEED people to know what I believe in that area. It's personal. If more people felt like this, on all sides, then maybe we wouldn't have some of the problems we have. Just a theory though. None of this applies to you though because your comment was relevant, thoughtful, and honest.

Date: 2002-03-15 06:00 am (UTC)I'm not preachy, but I don't keep my beliefs to myself. My goal isn't to convert anybody :p but boy howdy do I like talking about this stuff. Generally, that keeps when I talk about it in context...like you said...when it's relevant. No random "blu, do you know jesus christ? do you want him to be his personal lord and savior?"
however, mormons won't come to my house anymore, because I keep them here for HOURS.
That bumper sticker pisses me off as well. I'm of the opinion that you should educate yourself enough to actually READ the bible...and that the most logical conclusion is that it's written by PEOPLE...not by god. I HATE the diefication of the bible...like it's the 4th member of the trinity or something.
my bumper sticker says:
"there is no sin greater than ignorance"

Date: 2002-03-15 04:56 pm (UTC)I need to read more of the Bible as I do find it fascinating, and yeah, it's deification irks me as well. Must be nice to pick out a passage, take it out of context, and twist it to fit your personal philosophy. Much like the anti-gay Phelps crew does back home. Grrrrr.
I don't really have anything else to say other than, you're one cool kat, cats. ;)

That...and paul was a fucking nutbar. Lots of theologians think he was gay, himself.
you're one cool critter, yourself ^_^
