Could be. I don't hate gays. I'm open to other religions. I don't see
that any religion is "the true" religion. I am attracted to many aspects
of buddhism. I don't believe I'm condemned to hell for not being
a fundamentalist Christian. I am against George W. Bush and his
fundy "rapturist" belief that God is on the side of the U.S. against
all evil-doers.
What does that make me?
