God gave me a sex drive and biological urges.

And then made somebody write a book of rules saying that i must not listen to my biological urges and instinct, and must instead feel guilt if the sex drive God gave me causes me to have thoughts of lust to women....who by the way also were given sex drives and who are also required by the book of rules to pretend they don't, and must feel ashamed if they do..... Oh, if the present that God gave me is too strong to completely ignore, I must slave myself in some kind of weird partnership agreement to one women...who after the agreement is made will suddenly will decide that her biological urges are not so strong afterall.....


Thanks God. And a special thanks for causing my korean girlfriend to start going to church again.... In my next life I'm gonna worship satan.

The Good Lord gave me a lot of things (many of which I did not and would not ask for), but he did give me a piece of advice:

Theism is faith in the unexplainable. Atheism is faith that the unexplainable is explainable. Agnosticism is standing with your sausage in your mittens at a brothel and not knowing which way the door ought to swing.

Of the three, I choose Agnosticism.

Personally, I don't think God gives you things. I find it more comforting (e.g., that God does not hate me) to believe that God made the cards, and they are all lovely cards, but they are dealt at random.

So enjoy your fine things in life, chumps, but don't thank Jesus. It might not hurt, though, to throw the Big Man some props, 'cause, when the game's over, your scores will be tallied most judiciously.

Anyhow, what's the deal with expats constantly babbling about religion? It's bad enough that the nonreligious are obsessed with religion, but must the religious also obsess about it?

Seriously. GAWD. wtf. Lawdy. Ham.

Nothing hopefully.

I would find it terribly unsettling to talk to and receive things from imaginary people.

god left me out this time around... gave talents to others in my family.. I figure I must of been a king or some rich merchant in my past life, so he just let me cruise in this life with no special talents and will hook me up in the next life

God gave me a great sense of humour and an outrageously positive attitude. God tempered those gifts with a healthy dose of naivete, which has bitten me on the butt a few times!

Well I'm pretty good at drinking, smoking and making a mess.

Life. The chance to experience it. I am so very thankful. I was at abortions doorstep, being an adoptee and all.

Then He gave my biological mother the moral courage to endure the stares and questions and humiliations to offer me the chance at life.

Then I was blessed even more by my loving family, the great people who decided to adopt me. They were wonderful parents and educated, intelligent, sensible, and arts-minded people. I got to grow up with amazing experiences in America in a land of prosperity and opportunity in one of the most amazing cities in America, Ann Arbor. Yet I was just outside the city limits so I got to be raised on a farm and thus have exposure to two ways of life. My parents were wealthy yet everything we owned was very modest and I was always concious of the 'cheapness' of our things, again two-experiences. My parents were both private pilots and I got to go flying every weekend. As a result of living on the farm and my parents hobbies I got to spend much of my free time in the company of older people and it made me comfortable to be in the company of those who are significantly older than me. Also they were far more coarse than my more refined parents and so I got to see a different approach towards things. The experiences my parents provided me are due so many thanks. As I have touched on before, many things in my experience had a dualistic nature, be it culture, economic status, rural/urban, intellectualism/emotionalism, etc. Thanks for this ability to experience both sides.

Although considered 'gifted' intellectually I ended up going from school to school and thus got to learn adaptation and how to make new friends at a young age. I was popular in elementary and middle school. I have to say thanks for that, it encouraged a belief in myself. In High School I was blessed with being unpopular and having no friends, so I could learn some humility, maturity, and spend some time alone with myself in reading and educating myself.

After two lonely years in H.S. I was fortunate enough to be accepted into a group of friends who quickly became wonderfully close-nit, influential set. We were a diverse group of people and also in this group were many Koreans and so I learned hangul and got my first exposure to Korean culture. I have so many thanks for my friends in High School. Thanks for all of the times in college and working at the pizza shack and all of the people I met then. It broadened my horizons, man. It allowed me to meet people from all walks of life and to experience their lives, and it constantly pushed my thinking and challenged my values. Following H.S. my Korean friends invited me to attend at a Korean Church. Despite my parents being avowed atheists I was a believer from around middle school, but I have to thank them for their atheism because it did temper my intellect and ecourage rationalism towards things. The seven years in Korean church allowed me to go through a cycle concerning Korean culture that ran the gamut from honeymoon to bitterness and anger to understanding. Thanks to this, my time here in Korea has far exceeded my expectations for the worst and has paid off on a daily basis.

Lastly, thanks for this time so far in Korea. From the blessing of having an entire row to myself in coach when the rest of the flight was booked, to having the school provide me with a modern apartment, to the thrilling heroics of our schools dramatic Soccer Championship victory, to the view outside my patio, to getting to see a walk-off homer at the baseball game I went to at Jamsil, to having old friends in America, now over here, go out of their way to visit and welcome me here. Many thanks for that.

So yes those are the gifts God gave me.
