[edit] About my theology

[edit] Where I've been

The study of Religion is something that is very near and dear to me. I've gone through quite a path in life, from:

1. Episcopalianism
2. Non-Denominationalism
3. G12 Vision (Due to my experiences with G-12 I personally believe it to be a dangerous high-pressure group.)
4. Messianic Christianity
5. Karaite Judaism
6. Mosaic Yahwism
7. Pre-Mosaic or Primitive Yahwist

I currently attend a Quaker Meeting Hall in New Brunswick.

[edit] Two Theo-philosophical Principles

In my personal beliefs as well as any personal philosophy I adhere to I employ a simple set of but two guidelines:

1. Honesty - One must be honest with oneself about any personally held belief.
2. Consistency - One's beliefs must be consistent, and one must be consistent with one's beliefs.

As such my personal beliefs are always a work in progress, and as I learn more they change. Even as they change, I always hold to my convictions.

[edit] "Steve-isms"

Ever have a list of things you come up with on the fly that you just have to write down? This section is dedicated to them. I'll be adding onto it as I stumble upon more in life.

[edit] On dealing with other people

• "In order to be accommodated, you must be accommodating; however, always hold to your convictions."
• "Never try to be 'tolerant.' Strive to respectfully disagree. 'Tolerance' originally referred to the quantity of poison one can bear in their body before they die."
• "99% of life's problems are due to people not communicating with one another."
• "I am a firm believer of 'keep wackyness in the workplace.'"

[edit] Whacky, random, and misc.

• "That's about as fun as licking the asphalt at 60 miles an hour."
• "How can someone say, 'God didn't intend for man to masturbate'? God didn't intend for the Tyrannosaurus Rex to masturbate."
• "I don't want to be a bad sport; however, seeing that you've outsported me in this duel, it seems that overall you are the better sport, making me, by default, the worse... I just don't want to be an ass. Good match!"
• "Well, I was going to ask him first, but getting his attention is akin to successfully grappling with a well-greased lemming."
• "It wouldn't kill you to say a kind word every once and a while instead of letting us listen to you complain, complain, complain... and if it did, we wouldn't have this problem in the first place."
• "Sometimes too much is not enough."

[edit] Word Smashes

I have the odd tendency to try and say two things at once, not making up my mind until after I've spoken. The result is a rather odd hash of syllables that sort of makes sense, and I usually forget them quickly. I'll try my best to record them when they pop up, so here are some of the funnier ones:

"No farm!" == "No harm!" + "No foul!"

"Shugginer" == "Sugar" + "Sweetner"

"Whacked" == "Whacky" + "Wicked"
