LOL. No, I just believe in living peacefully. You'll never see me in the "I hate this", or "this sucks" thread. It's wasted energy.

I don't really subscribe to any religion. I believe they are all man made interpretations of the Bible. It seems to me, to be told, "You must live within this set of guidelines, or else you won't get to Heaven", well, that seems to mix fear in with faith.

As far as my avatar, yes, it is the Dalai Lama. A peaceful man, one who's work I admire. I've read several of his books, and several on Buddhism in general, and I like the fact that the Buddhist faith isn't a true religion, but a belief system in which there is no "live this way", but a simple tenet of , "Here are the tools you will need for inner peace. Find your path." You can explore what's in you, not be told which way to go.

Of course, these are just my opinions.

Sorry for rambling.
