I'm getting good at typing one handed. Takes me forever, though. You have no idea how long this is taking.Does anyone else here belong to any religion? Any at all

I once was a Catholic...

Religion has come up a lot, lately.

[shockinglycool]

Guess so. Guess some people like to talk about it in times of stress, or something.

[ys_cant_die]

They do.

Turning to religion... like a last resort... outlet... explanation... wish...

[shockinglycool]

Sounds bad when you put it like that.

[ys_cant_die]

...is there another way to put it?

I've prayed so many times I'm sure I have the bible memorized.

And I'm still cursed.

[shockinglycool]

...

I'm sorry for that.

[ys_cant_die]

No, you're not. Nobody is sorry for what they don't understand.

[shockinglycool]

Why not?

[ys_cant_die]

Because then it's pity. Selfish, so you can think you've made a change.

Pity is unnecessary.

[shockinglycool]

I don't feel pity for you. I don't think I've changed a thing for you.

I feel sorry, because you say you're cursed, and something you thought would help didn't.

[ys_cant_die]

...that's an interesting way to look on it.

You don't need to apologize, though. Whether you believe or not, everything continues.

[shockinglycool]

I agree with that, at least. I guess it's just a matter of, if it doesn't matter if you believe or not... it might be nicer to believe.

[ys_cant_die]

What do you believe in?

Why do you believe?

[shockinglycool]

I believe - in a lot, actually. But basically... what I was taught. Grew up in a Buddhist temple.

And I believe it because I want to. Because it comforts me. Because it makes life easier. I don't think for a second it's the same for everyone... I can only apply it to myself.

[ys_cant_die]

Buddhist...

Oh, okay, I see.

[shockinglycool]

You know it?
