Beliefs

Sorry about not posting for so long, it’s just that I like being able to just relax of weekends, vacations, snow days, and just whenever I get time to myself.

Anyway, as I said in the previous post, I am going to tell you more about me being agnostic, and also just my whole belief system. This seemed a particularly good time to do it, as we are now studying world cultures in Social Studies and Language Arts, and today we even put down our belief systems down on paper and shared them with the class. This is what I put down (there were supposed to be 20, but I haven’t gotten that many and our teacher hasn’t graded them yet so I should be all right).

  1. Luck Bank: This means that I believe that there is a theoretical luck bank somewhere and every time you get lucky your balance suffers. I feel that since I believe my luck to be very bad, I must have used up most of my luck early in life.
  2. Life’s unfair.
  3. Irresponsible until needed: This means that I believe that I can be irresponsible until I really need to be responsible, such as my room’s cleanliness. I don’t clean it until it really needs to be cleaned, then I go into a cleaning frenzy at about 11 p.m.
  4. Existentialism philosophy is scary but true.
  5. Bigger vocab means less hassle: This means that I believe that you cannot be hassled, teased, or bullied verbally if your vocab is big. You just dance verbal circles around them.
  6. Use it up/wear it out/make it do/or do without.
  7. Innocent until proven guilty. (why would I want that? *whistles*)
  8. Computers are life: This is literally true at this point on the timeline.
  9. A picture’s worth a thousand words, but a song’s worth ten thousand pictures.
  10. My karma ran over my dogma.
  11. Everything in moderation. Including moderation.
  12. Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he’ll feed his village forever.
  13. Dictionaries are worthless if the definitions only lead you to looking up other words: This came from when I looked up dogma. The definition was something like “A corpus of doctrines set forth by a religion.” Real helpful.
  14. It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye, then it’s hilarious: This was originally “loses a weiner,” but without the picture, it’s a bit strange, and besides, eye works just as well.

Well, that’s my belief list. Like it?
