Getting crunk and seeking truth

Well since this is my first blog ever I get some good to be pretty casual with it, considering that I made this Blogger account a couple of weeks ago.

With that being said, I'm going to sum myself up with this blog.

My grammar is horrible so I expect my readers (if I have any) to be very frustrated with me.I don't really care about what you all think, I would love to hear your opinion but at the end of the day I am who I am... no apologies.

Okay. Now that we've got that over with.

So pretty recently I've been looking into different religions. Not in the religious sense but the spiritual sense. I love to seek truth and a level learning about different religions. I've been looking into the Baha'i faith pretty intensely, in a lot of ways it makes sense to me but I don't believe 100%. There's a lot of things about the Baha'i faith that I do not agree with. For instance, I believe in pro-choice and being that I am a bisexual woman I believe in gay marriage, the Baha'i faith does not condone any of these things. Plus, I like to drink alcohol, not all the time but I do have recreational use of it and again this is something that the faith does not endorse at all. In my opinion, if I don't agree with everything that the religious faith believes in then that religion/faith isn't for me. Why am I looking at all the things you ask? Good question... I don't know. I don't, I have no idea why I'm doing this, I've heard lots of religions call people like me a "Seeker".I guess I just have an interest about these things.

Within the last few days, well weeks, I've been looking into Buddhism. I've been reading a lot of literature by Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, and I got it to you it's been pretty cool. The whole concept of no religion and letting go has really made me think that Buddhism might be a path that I want to take in my spiritual life. I'm not really like an extremist when it comes to following a faith, but I do follow guidelines. And hey! I like peace and tranquility, I like happiness and I like the fact that I don't have to go to a shrine/church and be with people who don't see what I see spiritual wise, I can just study, read, and live my spiritual life without the condemnation of my peers. If that sounds right. lol

Plus, Buddhadasa Bhikkhu has an amazing picture of himself in the front of his books. He's just sitting there with the giant rooster in his lap (you can make all the fat cock jokes that you want from that photo)!

Check you guys later!
