DIRECTIONS: Name 10 People/Places/Things/etc. you find overrated and then tag five people.

1) Sleep.
2) Sanity.
3) J.R.R. Tolkien. I could not read the LotR books because I don't like how Tolkien writes.
4) Bill Murray. I just... don't like him... And I don't find him all that funny.
5) Religion.
6) Phones. I like AIM better, as I can talk to more than one person at one time, and do other things. *is a chronic multi-tasker*
7) PCs. Sorry, I like my Mac. Computers in general dislike me, and Macs dislike me less than PCs. ( Also, they're what I was raised using, so I know jack shit about PCs.)
8) Rap. It's not music. I'm sorry.
9) Fashion. I am not a sheep. Therefore, I can decide by myself what I want to wear, based on what I like.
10) E.T. He scares me. >.> I've never gotten through the movie. I just can't watch it.

( Some of these are really random... >.> )

In the meantime, I tag:

I am technically jewish. I'm not a practicing jew, however, and I am going to, at some point, convert to paganism. Or something along those lines.

I don't believe in a single god though, if that helps to answer your question.

But in general, I just dislike organized religion. I have no porblem with it, really, I just want it to be something that is kept strictly to the home, and churches/temples/mosques/other meeting places.

Heh. I have one friend here who describes herself as "culturally Jewish, practicing eclectic pagan." Pretty accurate description of her. I've long liked paganism, but mostly in a sense of "If I believed in a deity, I'd probably be a pagan."

See, I was raised kind of oddly. My parents' families are pure Catholic, but Mom's an atheist and Dad's agnostic. I wish they'd known about UU and raised me some kind of agnostic UU; I'd rather that than what I got, which was Catholic from the rest of my family and little or no word from my parents. I used to think I was Catholic, until I realized in middle school that I didn't believe any of that God stuff. Right now, I'm atheistic/agnostic, along the lines of "I believe that there is no such thing as God, but I also think it's impossible for humans to be sure of the nonexistance of a deity."

I like the community feelling of a church, but I dislike the bureaucratic feel of most organized religions. I've been considering going to a service or two in the Santa Fe UU church, just to see what it's like; I'll be hearing a lot about religion at St. John's, so I may or may not want another form of it to think about.

Sorry for the ramble. For being atheistic, I still have a lot of interest in religion.

You might also check out the temple there. It's actually really close to SJC, and it's really nice. I used to go there a lot when I was more jewish. ( I went to several years of hebrew school there. ) I think there's a whole lot on jewish religion at SJC, so it's a thought.

Also, your friend sounds pretty much like what I would want to be. I need to learn more about Paganism and whatnot before I can technically be called "practicing" though.
