My family is so all over the chart when it comes to religion. I'm a baptized mormon and a baptized catholic. Both religions have some moral effects on me, but that's about it. I'm personally against abortion, but I respect a woman's right to choose to abort her child, it's her body, her temple, and her's to control. Not mine. How I feel about it shouldn't affect what she decides to do.

The aspects I've gained from being influenced by the LDS church is from what they call the "word of wisdom" or some bullshit like that, which basically says what you can and cannot eat/drink. I do follow it, more for just allowing myself to give my best physically in activities such as sports or working out in the gym. I sparingly drink alcohol, I eat meat, but only what my body needs, and I avoid sugars. The one thing I could do better is cutting the caffeine back out, but after my head injury, the caffeine stimulates my mind.

And finally, I believe there is a "higher power" but that it is involved in everything around us. I believe in karma, I may come off as an ass sometimes here in the forums, but really, I'm quite a laid back guy. I believe it is my duty in life to experience as much as I can about the walks of life, and to constantly keep changing my environment. I guess you can say I "re-invent" myself on a regular basis. My tastes are eclectic and can change without any given notice.

I also strive to learn as much as I can about anything, and everything. I try to not burry myself deep with material possessions, I think we should travel light through life and not be weighed down with contractual obligations or anything of the like. We should be free to experience new things without having hang-ups preventing us from changing.

I really wrote a novel and learned a bit about myself. This is going to be an interesting thread.
