I think that I might have given some people here some wrong impressions in the past. So, I'd just like to clear a few things up.
1. I am a Christian.
2. This means that I believe in one God, who expresses Himself as a Trinity of people - God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. This also means that I believe all other gods/godesses/deities-of-any-description are fakes, invented by humans or by Satan to trap people and keep them away from God.
4. In addition, I believe that everyone who isn't a Christian is going to Hell.
5. Understandably, I would really rather all you people didn't go to Hell. Hence, I'm praying for you. And I'm going to keep praying for you. Even if you ask me not to.

So, there we go.

I don't mind you praying for me... but my beliefs don't agree with yours, so. :) I still fully intend on dedicating myself to Thoth, once we get the ground rules worked out, and Kuan Yin seems to have taken a liking to me. Whatever you believe, I wish you the very best to live in grace and joy.

I hope you will forgive my curiosity causing me to ask this question, I don't mean to be confrontational or anything, I'm just intrested:

What does the word grace mean to you? How would you define it?

Graceful... living in harmony with your world and surroundings. I think it's a bit hard to describe exactly what I mean by it, other than something vaguely Tao-like. It doesn't have anything to do with any particular religion or philosophy, though. You know that saying, "Living well is the best revenge"? I don't define "living well" as having lots of money, or a happy perfect nuclear family, or any of the usual benchmarks; to me, "living well" is simply that - living well, being happy and healthy by your own standards. So to me, living in grace is like living better than just "well", it's living excellently, by whatever your standards may be. :)
