It saved my life in a way, it made emotionless person to some degree, especially after my wife passed. That was my breaking point, i left Everything, i quit grad school, and enlisted to go fight.I didn't care if i made it back home at that point in my life. I spent a lot of time thinking in the desert, its funny some days i miss it.

"I am a Christian.
I believe in God, and in Jesus Christ his son.
And I believe the Bible is the word of God, and I fully trust what it says."
"Be kind and helpful toward others, and don't necessarily expect to get anything in return. Yes, there are a lot of people who will do for other only when it benefits them, or who are all about survival-of-the-fittest. But just because there are people like that in the world today, that doesn't mean that I have to be one of them, I can be a better man than that."
"Never trust a stranger. Always approach a situation with caution, and be careful not to reveal to much information about yourself, until you know who you're dealing with."
"When in a bar: NEVER leave your drink unattended, nor take your eye off your drink, that way no-one can slip something into it.
NEVER let your guard down while in a bar, always keep an eye on the others in there, as well as your surroundings, but don't be obvious about it.
And, be careful how you speak others in there, as people's tempers can easily flare when they've been drinking, and you DON'T want to get into a bar-fight."
"Only fight when you have to, either in self-defense, or in defense of someone you care about.
But don't go picking fights for no reason."
I have several phrases that resonate with my philosophy on life, but these three have been at the forefront of my mind as of late.
"In th… moree end, only three things matter. How much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you."
"Wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep."
"I started my life with a single absolute: that the world was mine to shape in the image of my highest values and never to be given up to a lesser standard, no matter how long or hard the struggle."
The way I see it is how much respect you treat your body with, as well as the life you were given by God. Being grateful for what you have, and not doing anything reckless to demean yourself. Hence "to live gently". I suppose it's open to interpretation though.
I believe that if god exists, he's a mass-murdering prick who has no right to judge me for swearing, lying or stealing.
I read all these smart and intelligent things and then we get to this....Man...You made me laugh I love you. I don't disagree and to avoid a religious argument i'm going to say I don't agree....Shhhh....I do though.
I believe that arts and learning make a culture great.
I believe in civic duty and engaging in political action. Only fools mock and ign… moreore politics, when their future hangs in the balance.
I believe that religion is an important social institution, though I'm nota believer myself.
I believe that a leader shouldn't send men and women to war unless they've taken pains to know what it's like.
I believe that humanity is fundamentally dangerous and untrustworthy, but also good.

I'm so sorry about your wife George. Thanks for serving our country man.
Oh my goodness, your wife died? I thought you'd just got divorced, I'm so sorry.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by "how gently you've lived?"
You live your life to the fullest!
Don't let myself be belittled, intimidated, or scared. I am one of them as they are one of me.
Then I don't care. :P

We are alive, to live the freedom resulting from our undeniable existence!

You're a hero.
It depends what you define as religion really, as to whether its an important social institution.
