I'm loving my new job with the Census as a Service Quality Assurance Monitor. I don't necessarily love the job itself - but when there is work, it goes by super fast. But I love the people I work with. We have so much fun. Too bad its only a temporary job until the middle of August and I'll probably never see those people again.
Some of my new friends and I were in a deep discussion about all things religion.. Mostly the LDS - Mormon religion which I am a part of.. sort of. If you can call it that. The thing is, I was baptized in the church so I am technically a member. I'm not active, meaning I don't ever go to church hardly ever. Maybe once in a blue moon and most likely because my brother will be talking in church. Or something. I'm not active because of many reasons..
I thought maybe if anyone does read this.. I could get some of your views on it. LDS members and non-members. I welcome all opinions. I was never hugely active in the church.. I guess I was the most active when I was in Young Women's when I was a teenager.. mostly because my friends were. I hardly ever went to actual class on Sundays, but I did go to the activities during the week. And I went to camp. It was fun. It really was. There was a point where I believed in all of it. I believed in it without even delving into the scriptures as much as I should have. I just believed it I think because I was a part of it and wanted to be included. If that makes sense..
SO. First discussion.. who knows if there will be any more after this..
But what is everyone's view on drinking (alcohol, coffee, and tea), drugs, tattoos, and sex before marriage? Are people going to Hell for it? What's your view?

Religion is so hard. I don't even know where to start my comments here. heh. Didn't anyone ever tell you the forbidden topics? Sex, Politics & Religion. Geeze!
(But I guess I talk about Politics all the time.. soooo )
I think a lot of the problem that religion has for me, is how its all standardized and very much has an "us vs them" mentality. Religion has CAUSED so many conflicts in the world, because everyone thinks their god is better than someone else's.
Ugh.
