i think that it really blows my mind sometimes how ready people are to change or ignore their beliefs or "religious" ideas so they can date or fit in. If it is that readily thrown to the side how much of a belief was it anyway? It's like there is nothing real or firm in peoples hearts...no foundation of belief. People want to believe there is "no absolute truth" and everyone decides what works for them...but that statement is one of absolute truth in and of itself. I mean I am all about having an open mind and experiencing new things. But there are certain things in life i won't waiver on because of what I believe and the convictions it has placed in me. As far as I see things i won't date someone if we have a big difference in our beliefs. I don't believe in dating just to not be alone. I know that probably sounds pretty anal or laughable to most of you reading this. But it is how i feel and i do not fault you for feeling the contrary or for feeling anyway for that matter. I just wish i could understand how one minute people can be super-sold on a belief and the next minute giving it up for sex or attention or just not to be alone. I guess it's part of what makes the world spin. And that is the conclusion of this rant
