  • Thanks! It was like a week ago, tops so it's not like you've been out of the loop lol. Thanks again, I know for a fact that you have always been a good poster and I look forward to working with you and possibly arguing against you in some threads.
    I still do not have access to the MD, nor do I want it.

    I suspect a topic I made in General Disscussion got moved there. It was starting to get into "Mature Disscussion" territory, so I think one of the general mods moved it there. Glad to know this, so I know what happened to the thread, but I still am locked out of the MD and have no desire to return there.

    Considering the truckload of heavy stuff that's been going on in my non-fandom life right now, it is probably for the best for me not to be in the MD at this time. I've been under heavy stress, therefore, I'd probably just take it out in the mature topics and wind up screaming incoherently at everyone. (Particularly upon issues involving money). To spare you and others my impotent rage at life, it is best for me not to discuss mature political matters at this time.

    Heck, the shoutbox turned into one of these the other night, and I did get off the handle.

    I'm in a precarious position right now. I have been suffering, and when I suffer, logic tends not to be with me.

    So, no MD for me right now, yet - just a moved topic.

    Hey Hanyou. Didn't know you were a Mod over here. There are LoZers everywhere because of the downtime. I really don't feel out of place.

    Hi(.......................................................................................)
    S
    Well, I'm not very active here. I just come on every so often.
    I don't feel like I can identify myself as any demonimation right now because I haven't darkened the door of a church in almost 3 years. I do not know if I am "right" or "wrong" with it, it's just that I have some personal problems with... dogma. I kind of... read the Bible and come to my own conclusions.

    I used to be Southern Baptist, for several years, but I've decided since that I don't really want to go back to that. I have been to the local Methodist church a few times and liked them, but haven't gone because of a combination of transportation problems, my problems sleeping/insomnia/being able to get up in the morning, and my mental illness with social phobia. I'm fine with people online/in text, crowds of real, live people make me nervous.

    And, like I said, I fear heavy dogma and being judged. I mean, obviously, I enjoy Fantasy stuff (being on a Zelda board)!, I like science (and am able to reconcile it with my personal faith), and I have some liberal political views - all of which had been attacked by the sermons of preachers at various points when I was in the Baptist church. In fact, I've just come from reading an article about how Ex-president Jimmy Carter broke away from the main Southern Baptist church because his interpretation upon the equality of women in scripture conflicts with their pratices concerning women. (Frankly, in my reading of the Bible, and AS A WOMAN, I agree with the man on this).

    I told some folks in the Shoutbox the other night that I may, in fact, be on my way to becoming a "good little agnostic" but... so far, that's not happening yet. Jesus - he's still there. He's kind of like that mole on my arm, he's there and I don't want to get rid of him.

    Reading the comments people made to the aformentioned article... and seeing a lot of hate spewed toward religion in general makes me want to hold onto my faith more, actually... I honestly think that people of *every* religion think that their religion is right and that the *wisest* and *best* people find it - and that includes militant Athiests. Still, I think I'm going to need friends, or at least a good friend or something else special to "lead me back into the fold" of a human-run church. I'm just too scared to dive right back in yet.

    Thanks for callin' me cool. So nice. You seem like a cool person, yourself. (Though I can't say I agree with Libertarianism in its entirety, but we won't talk too much about that).
    Well, thank you very much. Your arguments differ from most I've come up against, so it's really interesting to see a point of view (or multiple pov's, rather) that differ from what is the usual "norm". Likewise, I appreciate the respect (and maturity!) that you show as well. It's not often I see so many people who can argue their points in a reasonable, non-bashing fashion. :)

    Hey Tim, I never think I'd see you here! Hows it going?
    Yes, well it's always good to see familiar faces in a foreign place. I wasn't aware of how many people from LoZ.com I would find. The only reason why I decided to register was because LoZ.com kept timing out. Is something wrong with the site? I had some other friends try it, and they can't get on either.
    Pretty good. I'm getting ready to ship out and it looks like my Basic Combat Training date keeps getting moved up, right now it's at July 21. At that point, there's no ZD :(

    I'm pretty excited for it though, it'll be fun for sure. How's the move?
