<p>^ jw…but are you like an atheist/agnostic??!</p>
<p>@east, you are welcome. I love sharing this world with people who are safe and as good as you!</p>
<p>@ilove, can you help me understand why you like Anderson. He seems insecure as he stumbles in his speech to find the right words. I want to appreciate him, but I must be missing something about him.</p>
<p>He’s a Vanderbilt who decided that instead of becoming the male Paris Hilton, to become a journalist. He skipped his senior prom to go to Africa, and actually got malaria. You should Youtube his experience in New Orleans during Katrina. Amazing.</p>
<p>@east- I am Wiccan, but I believe in things from various religions. I don’t really believe in organized religion. I believe in a higher power, but I think it is beyond human understand to know what that power is. I believe that that higher power has given me the ability to know what is right and wrong for myself and I always listen to that. Some people call it “conscious” or the Holy Spirit, or whatever name you want to give it. I believe it is up to everyone to control their own life which is why I believe that, as long as you harm no body else, you should be free to do what you want. I also believe that marriage is a creation of man and government and that it isn’t spiritual. Commitment is different because that is spiritual. Make sense?</p>
<p>^ Just out of curiousity, since I’ve always wondered…</p>
<p>…aren’t you afraid of going to <em>ahem</em>? Hypothetically if it exists though…</p>
<p>Aha, now I know why you don’t want to talk with me, Romani. Darkness hates the Light. Wiccans are disciples of Satan, they are rebels against all that is from Jesus Christ. Why they choose to rebel is beyond me. Who wouldn’t want God’s love all over them 24/7?</p>
<p>^^ No. I believe that I live a good life. I don’t do things that harm others and I continually try to help people. I always put others ahead of myself. If a God wants to send me to hell because I didn’t worship him/her on Earth, then I think he/she is an egotistical thing and I would rather go to Hell than to worship someone like that in Heaven. </p>
<p>But I believe in reincarnation and a very Hindu-esque version of the afterlife. It comes from a near-death experience that turned me away from Catholicism and towards my current beliefs. I don’t believe in Satan.</p>
<p>Okay, now I gotcha, ilove. His compassionate heart is definately cool.</p>
<p>Yeah, AC is a pretty cool dude. Did you see him ***** out Sen. Landrieu about Katrina? Classic stuff.</p>
<p>Romani, Wiccans are very deceptive, as Satan is. How, then, can I trust a thing you say? Believe me, I want to trust you. But deception is the name of your game . . . as a Wiccan.</p>
<p>^^ Yeah. AC is awesome because he’s not afraid to get dirty. He also does a ton more behind the scenes than any other anchor I know of. And I’ve never heard anyone say anything negative about him. That’s rare in the media.</p>
<p>Ilove, I missed that. Katrina was a fiasco, to say the least. Heads needed to roll!</p>
<p>Me either. I love the fact that he always goes to wherever the news is happening. Whether it’s Haiti, the Gulf Coast, or even Iraq, I can always count on AC to be there.</p>
<p>@TrueLove-- Youtube “Anderson Cooper *****es out Sen. Landrieu”. Amazing and classy.</p>
<p>I am now ext. uncomfortable now that the conversation has drifted from “Do you like politics” to “Religion and It Seems like I’m trying to convert you”.</p>
<p>TrueLove: Could you tell me why exactly you like those specific figures? Personally, I find them extremely obnoxious and some of them <em>coughSPSPSPSPcough</em> are not exactly the brightest bulbs. (They may be smart but I don’t think some of them understand the separation between church and state)</p>
<p>^ Separation of church and state? Nonsense. Remember, our last president took all of his advice from God? SP knows very well that we live in a theocracy. We’re the idiots who think it’s a Republic/democracy.</p>
<p>I agree. I didn’t think my post would have people flaming other religions.</p>
<p>ilove, senators like her are why people don’t vote. It was very telling of where she was at when Anderson mentioned rats feasting off a body in the street. Her response was condescending, stating that she understands, then talks about homes being destroyed. Anderson was concerned about people dying; she, homes being destroyed. Ugh! Anderson was too easy on her!!</p>
<p>Well, Anderson is a classy dude. He won’t go Kanye West on people, although he should.</p>
<p>^ Actually, he kind of does. Just in his own, refined, AC way 
lol</p>
