I think that God would be insulted by my religious service and adherence to the things in his book, The Bible by God, Ed. Bigotted Old White Men. The best way that I can serve God, if he does indeed exist, is to be kind to the people around me. There is nothing higher than loving creation no matter what your religion is (or isn't).

I'm glad you nor anyone else was hurt, Erasmus. Be well, my friend.
As far as the religion thing goes, it's a non-entity in my life. I don't give it much thought at all. I don't live my life concerning myself with what religious beliefs I do or don't believe in. I don't really take part in it either way. I'm not an atheist, but I'm not a theist either. It just doesn't matter one way or the other.
I have been thinking about this religion thing more and more. Perhaps there is an eternal being out there that created this puzzle ya know? Maybe the answer isn't that we have to follow the creed of any one faith but to seek the ultimate maker of everything? Perhaps in distancing one's self from religion one can truly seek out the answer. Or some such garbeldy goop. All I know is that I feel a lot better about life and myself not living in fear of a vengeful and jealous God that seeks ultimate obedience and self sacrifice. It was hard at first but now it just makes more sense. I don't believe in the God that most christians do. I just can't see myself bowing down to some entity that condemns you from the moment you're born. I guess it's possible that something is out there but I don't think anyone has the answer and since there are so many religions everyone became complacent that the answer was there and stopped looking.
Hey hey, fellow Gaymers! What's going on in here? I've been off for a few weeks due to S.A.D. (stupid Vancouver weather), but I think I'm good for another run now. Just under one month until classes end, and then I can work full time at the pools! I can't wait...:p

We need no women! (Except Jo)
For we are the Gaymers! And assorted friends thereof.
haha, I know. And even though I'm straight, he's still a pretty good looking guy.
Is it weird that I say that? I had a conversation with a friend about that. I said that a guy was good-looking and he called me homo. Seriously, cant a guy call another guy good looking if he is, without being gay? It's not like I'm saying "OMG, I TOTALLY WANT TO POUND THAT @$$!!!"
I see no problem with straight guys complimenting a guy's appearance. Women admire people of the same gender all the time, after all, or at least most of the women I know.
Agreed. Honestly, I think you appreciate feminine beauty more when you're gay. You can look at all the attributes that make a girl beautiful (including her personality and her fashion sense) without having a nagging urge to focus your gaze at certain areas. Also, you can *gasp* listen to what she says without a nagging voice in the back of your head whispering naughty things :D.
I'm sorry to hear about the car accident, Erasmus. I'm lucky to never have been in one, but my sister and my mom were hit on the way to church in the rain. The car still technically works but...is the wind really supposed to whistle through the frame like that? My sister was so scared, though she wasn't hurt, and my mom mostly got by except getting some glass in her hands. I'm glad that you and all your friends are alright.
About the God debate...I've been a Catholic all my life, though admittedly not a great one, and it seems to be easier for me to accept being gay and Catholic because I'm already that marvel of marvels, a liberal Catholic. I sort of see this as an extension of my way of dealing with that conflict, which is to try and follow what I believe to be the underlying message of the religion as opposed to the surrounding junk. I would try to follow the principle of rejecting deeds that do harm to others and embracing those that help others.
Speaking of that sort of attitude, Mikey, where do you find these things? Hot guy of the week should most definitely become a new tradition. It's the smile and the rough-and-tumbleness, I think. Awesome job

The difference is women don't usually define themselves by their sexuality, whereas it's central to most guys' self-image. That's why women normally aren't threatened by lesbians and are more likely to, say, kiss another girl.

I disagree because I can look at a girl and appreciate her feminine beauty without being lustful. (Even though lust happens a good deal of the time. Meh.)

I can appreciate a girl as well, of course. Just minus the lust. Anyway, most of the reason I'm posting is just because I find it creepy that no-one's posted today AT ALL, and I've decided to remedy this situation.
So yeah, I am in Texas now! I am going be at Shotokan this friday and Saturday. I will not be attending 2HG in Austin Anyway, yeah, i am reevaluating that picture of my lovely finger. When I get a chance, i am going to change it.

Nice pics and all Mikey, but I must confess I'm a bit more of a chaser myself. They don't ALL have to be lean and clean-shaven.

What do you mean chaser O_o?
Someone who pursues a certain type of person. Chubby chaser = slim person who only goes after overweight people. It's the same for those who 'chase' hairier guys.

Since we've gotten fairly serious and dare I say it - grim - lately, I decided to distract you all with man-flesh.
This week's entry: Sean Faris. Formerly of Life As We Know It and Reunion and the truly odious Yours, Mine & Ours. Luckily, he's pretty darn hot.
Remember, I'm always taking submissions. Know a hot celebrity? I'm sure we'd all love to get in on that.
