I Like Random Quizzes...

A Tom Cruise animation was linked at the Television Without Pity boards. It's all about joining the Church of Scientology, and is very funny. Anyway, they have a "quiz" to see if you're ready to join Scientology, and I am:



Hee. That made me laugh.

It's a beautiful day in Toronto. The sun is shining brightly, and it is not too hot. :)

I had a nice night out yesterday. Long walk, good company (Hi David, if you're reading :)), tasty coffee, it was very pleasant. We went to the first non-denominational cemetary in the city. Sadly, we got there not long before they were going to close. Who knew cemetaries close? Anyway, we need to go back to find the famous tombstones. I was thinking that I don't find cemetaries creepy at all. I did when I was a kid but somehow, death doesn't scare me as much as it used to. There is something oddly peaceful about it all. Mind you, it wouldn't have been exactly cool to be locked in there at night since that sounds like the beginning of a horror movie but still... LOL I love the history you find in cemetaries too, and I like reading tombstones. One of them said "She was a lot of fun." I think that's a very cool thing to have there for eternity.

I Think I Should Start My Own Cult...

It really seems to work for 20th century oddballs like Ayn Rand and L. Ron Hubbard. Seriously though, reading about all these people with what seem like outrageous beliefs drive me absolutely bonkers. Now, I realize that not everyone can think like me, nor would it be very interesting if they all did. Although it might make me queen of them all. Mwahahaha! To get back to the point (LOL), I guess I have a few very strong beliefs such as in the importance of caring for each other, which staunch Objectivism opposes, and the importance of scientific knowledge when it comes to mental health issues, which Scientology seems to disregard totally. I'm at a loss when I come to be confronted with systems of belief I just cannot accept. Where is the line between disagreement and intolerance? How do we define these things as a society? I think I need to pick up philosophy books because I can't seem to come up with an answer with my already-established knowledge base.

Some hard thinking for a Sunday evening...
