I'm not a religious person. I'm also not very spiritual.
Having said that, I don't know what form of classification exists to determine how religious or spiritual you are.
I just know I haven't recently worn roman sandals and socks, hung out on a commune, quoted Buddha, or visited a church aside from the standard weddings and funerals.
My mother is more of a believer. She gave me a Bible yesterday (no, she wasn't the cab driver from my earlier post).
It was touching. I just don't know how to read a Bible. Do you open it anywhere and rip in? Start at the very beginning? Does it matter? Or does just holding it make you a little more invincible? Yes, I think I'll just put it in my backpack. Knowing it's there if I need it.
For now I'll continue to tap into 'faith' via Charlie Brown. I have loved 'Peanuts' since I was a little boy. Still do. Its creator, and one of my virtual mentors, Charles M. Schulz, was religious and much of his famous cartoon strip made 'right and wrong' lessons accessible to millions who wouldn't ever read a Bible.

you should definitely check out the revelations bit at the end! everything else is pretty boring but that packs a punch. when a reading it as a child i imagined all the seals that were being broken as seals like those that barked, clapped and juggled balls at seaworld. they break quite a few there. blubber everwhere.
