Montana Redhead (now with letters)

Well, hell, I'm always up for a good debate...

Political: Independent, although I do have a few things I won't budge on, which generally makes me vote democrat.

Religious: hmmm...I'd have to say Jedi. (I know, but it's about as close as I can get in a word)

Philosophical: again, I'm not really all one thing or another. I tend to be a bit of a skeptic, although Spinoza appeals to me.

You're not telling me that you've never had to describe your religion in few words before?

Montana Redhead (now with letters)

When asked once by a born-again evangelical Christian if *I* was a Christian, I replied, "not in any way you would understand." I tend not to discuss it with people unless we're involved in a long theological discussion.

Phryne- 'Best Suppurating Actress'

Up for this, just lurking at' moment tho.
Politics etc.: Socialist, pretty far left AFAIK; liberal, tho neither wet nor fluffy nor 'politically-correct apologist' (also make no assumptions about what I think of governments or land etc.); non-specific Pagan, tho likewise not fluffy.

McKay The Disorganised

As I've been posting to debates I'd better say something.


Religion : Christian - (struggling with forgiveness)

Political leanings: I can quote Whiskey here -
Was slightly to the right of Attila the Hun (not my description) - rapidly heading left as age creeps up on me.
(I have been promised by both a trade Union activist and a Woman's Libber that come the revolution I can be first against the wall.)

Personal Philosophy - Cynic

Blatherskite the Mugwump - Bandwidth Bandit

Welcome Montana, Mandragora, and McKay (say that sentence three times fast). Sorry for the delay, but my internet access has been spotty lately, to say the least.

McKay: Right of Attila the Hun, heading left as time goes by... that describes any point of the political compass. Could you possibly be any more vague? smiley - winkeye

He could've said "Right of the end, heading... left of the middle".
Which is incidentally a great song by Natalie Imbruglia.
