Buddhist / Taoist / Eastern somethingorother
Agnostic -  I couldn't possibly know
Atheist - I believe in no gods

I could explain beliefs to you but then you would only end up understanding less.

As an utterly confused teenager still in the process of developing what hopefully will be a somewhat consistent worldview at some point in the future, I don't know what I REALLY believe in. But I must admit that I find this whole science thing very appealing.

Just remember, good science isn't about belief... its about the best current ideas based on evidence.  :)

Well, I think I will, just in case the lightning elementals decide to attack me.

If you are Orthodox then you have to get someone else to do it for you on the Sabbath.  Not sure how many gentiles know the ritual though.

I believe Felix's beliefs are so original and outlandish, they will truly boggle my mind to the point I shall doubt everything I have ever thought I had known.

Also, I'm probably at least 7 years older than Lenin McCarthy and I still feel that way.
