I get asked entirely too often if I am jewish because I prefer to not fully spell out the name of G-d in most cases. No, I am not jewish. I do not consider myself to be any one particular "religion." My political and religious views tend to be extremely eclectic.

Below I will list just a few facts and or quotes so you can get a glimpse of the way I see it.

Preferring to not fully spell the name of G-d

A jewish tradition- The prohibition is on erasing or defacing the sacred name, therefore jews take care in where writing it. The practice only applies to the Hebrew, but has been extended into english. It has nothing to do with o's or dashes, The purpose is what the practice teaches us.

I am pro-life not because I hate liberty, but because I hate the idea of killing children."

If I should die with more than ten pounds to my name, may every man call me a liar and a thief."

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat."

"You guys are all into that born again thing, which is great. We do need to be born again, since Jesus said that to a guy named Nicodemus. But if you tell me that I have to be born again to enter the kingdom of God, I can tell you that you have to sell everything you have and give it to the poor... because Jesus said that to one guy too....... but I guess that's why God invented highlighters.. So we can highlight the part we like and ignore the rest."
