Montana Redhead (now with letters) Posted Aug 8, 2003
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?

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' Posted Aug 11, 2003
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 Posted Aug 17, 2003
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

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?

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