@Ken U Belevitt yeah, i was raised catholic, left as a teenager over abortion (and lgbt+ rights but mostly abortion), and now am a unitarian universalist
didn't finish this thought. where i was going with it is that even after leaving the church, i occasionally attended mass for a while as a social thing. i'd go at christmas, and went a couple times with my aunt and uncle the summer i lived with them, because it was good family time. also, i got to uu in part via universalism, the belief i alluded to earlier that everyone goes to heaven.
you find yourself letting go of any existing hang ups when you get older. I think it was a younger me that never would have believed I'd go back to college at 36
Update on the Louvre Robbery: there are four more being arrested today, unfortunately there's no trace of the jewels being found since October 19th according to BBC News.
You know, there was a question from one of my fb pages I follow that asked, if time travel were possible what event would you visit in history and change. My response was that I'd stop or make sure Hitler were never born. And then I began thinking about it. And thought....how would that change ACME? Would we still be Anerican and international? Would we still have The united nations and NATO?
