I admit to being a bit intimidated....not really into fighting. Or even arguing on a personal level. But I was putting out feelers regarding a book I picked up in a used bookstore and someone on another social networking sight PMd me in response to an inquiry and recommended I talk to some fundamentalist christians about it since they may be more familiar with the book. I will post more on that on another thread...just explaining what got me here. 
I am not a christian, but I didn't see a rule against that. If I missed it I apologize and will see myself out. Don't worry though, I'm not here looking for a fight.
Now as far as my intro....*takes a deep breath*
I am not a christian. I am an agnostic - one of those wishy washy people who can't be an honest atheist or religious person - I must sit on the fence and refuse to choose sides. I was raised catholic - I always say my mama is more catholic than the pope. I think that is especially true with the current pope. When I was 12 my dad got custody of me. He was a christian of the protestant variety. He made us go to mass for awhile due to issues with my mom and court, but then after about a year he let us both decide we weren't interested in mass. Then we made some rounds of some churches in the small town we lived in.
Much hilarity ensued. We went to one where they spoke in tongues. At first I thought people were just being rude and talking while the preacher prayed, till I figured out what was happening. It made us all very uncomfortable. The next one was a normal baptist church and the next night the preacher visited us with two deacons. My dad was polite enough to pull the dog-hair infused blanket off the couch and tell them to ignore the staring dogs, cause they were sitting on the dog bed! They never came back. Then we went to a church of a friend of mine. Three sundays in a nice lady asked me to pray with her. I had no idea what she was praying about. But then she told me to go tell the preacher I prayed with her - in front of the church. Confused, I did. He announced me saved and scheduled me for baptism that night. My dad was surprised and questioned me after church, and nixed that when he found out what happened. After that he just kinda gave up and we turned into little heathens lol.
I am forty years old but I feel 25. I am happily unmarried, but am not opposed to the idea of being married in the future should I meet a man I respect and love enough to make that kind of commitment too. But it isn't something I am looking for. I live with my best friend since 7th grade and my part mini pincher/part chihuahua.
I work in customer service at a call center, and have worked customer service my whole life. I love customer service. No, seriously, I do. I love my job - two days off is my max before I get restless and want to go back to work. Honest. No one ever believes me when I tell them how much I love my job, but it's true!
Politically I am a fiscal and foreign relations conservative, social libertarian. I am a Trumper through and through and welcome political discussion/debate as long as it remains civil.
Hobbies - my biggest one is reading. I love reading. I have a ton of amazing books, and always have one or two going. Right now I am reading a Susan Warner story called The Hills of Shatemuc and a book by Vox Day and Dominic Saltarelli called "On the Existence of Gods". Both are very good. I also write stories for strictly self-entertainment. Love taking my dog to the dogpark, spend a lot of time avoiding my family, and at work during overnight shifts I play Minecraft. I periodically will play Hearthstone till I get too frustrated and start raging at the game so hard I scare my dog.
Music I enjoy and listen to a wide variety, from classical to heavy metal.
Not a big tv watcher. For the longest time I didn't even have one, but I have one now and enjoy watching cable news shows since I am super into politics this election cycle.
Can't think of anything else! So I will just end it here.
