If you had to die by torture, but you could choose the method, which would you choose?

Do you believe in any kind of higher spiritual power controlling the Universe?

Yes. I was an atheist until a couple of years ago when I ....i guess "converted"...to christianity. It's a little difficult because most of the people around me think religious people are stupid, bigots an so I'm kind of in the closet about it. I think there are "cultural christians" who follow cultural traditions more than religious principles and give everyone a bad name be being hateful. I sometimes feel conflicted about believing. Questioning "am I being stupid?". Bur for some reason, even thought I doubt most things all the time, I haven't gone back on believing. I dunno .


It easier for me to imagine a universal force of God than a personal father like God. The idea of the relation part is what i struggle with most.



I started going to a new church with some friends. It's a small congregation most people there are artists, lots are more "alternative looking" and they are generally younger. It's a breath of fresh air compared to all the the old school baptist and mega churches in the area.


"The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters". Thats my favorite thing to think about.

I want to talk to you guys.

You considered Vent? We could use some new blood anyways.

What exactly about your avatar (what appears to be a toddler dressed up as Prince) speaks to your soul? Is it the fact that you are both adorable and absolutely fabulous at the same time?

How do you use it?

Mmm. It's basically a chat room for people on TypoC. Most of the set-up stuff is described in this thread.

I feel like the expression captures how I feel most of the time. Sort dry, dark and absurd. Fun but weird.


I really think this is what my soul looks like. I imagine it more like some kind of half prince/half elf that would hobble up to the Typology central meeting grounds, similar looking to a roman senate, and give long speeches from a specially made podium to accommodate my small statue.

name one thing you love to hate and why

Janelle monae's ubiqutouness. A musician who is known better by sight than by sound. She must have some billionaire backer to still get this much piblicity with out any hits.


Also my major professors. A husband and wife team of psychopaths

That's cool. I'm kind of in the same boat.

Christianity has had it's share of bigots and loons, as well as thinkers and scientists. You're just in the latter category. In current America, being one of those "evil people with brains" and Christian at the same time might be strange, but it's not strange in the context of history. You could find giants of rational thought like Descartes, who was Christian. You could go back 1500 years and find Augustine, who was just as much a Platonist as a he was Christian. He's often called a pillar of Christianity in both Protestant and Catholic thought. As for the loons, much of current Evangelical American thought is a product of the 1800s, and the culture of "pioneers" and offshoot pastors trying to make churches of their own. Many are not even all that "traditional". Their traditions are relatively young. Even the craziest stuff that seems "old" is turn of the century (like snake handler churches didn't pop up until the early 1900s). Their rhetoric would convince people that they've laid claim to the "ancient church", but half of the time, they just learned something from their grandpa. And half of time of that, most of the message revolves around money. And even then, sometimes the message isn't even Christian. The world according to the Glen Becks of the world is Mormonism (another pioneer religion from the 1800s, but one that's taken a strong hold lately). They wear magic underwear, think Jesus was actually Michael the Archangel, some guy named Joseph Smith is the greatest prophet of all time, and... well, I think aliens are involved somewhere too. Not sure.

I enjoy spotify. It's like a combination pandora and Wikipedia. The biography and relate artist function let me explore new musical acts. Plus free access to new tunes!

I find Spotify frustrating because it typically does not have many artists I *really* enjoy. -.-
Instead it tricks you with instrumental covers!

That said, I do have to give it some credit. Seems pretty innovative. I wish they'd go beyond mainly 'pop' and actively upload other genres, though.

That sounds really interesting. Do you look a little like an adult version of your avatar? You posted a picture in one thread which was pretty, I don't know if it was you.

(Mine is What If by Emilie Autumn, I think.)
