My Interests

Jesus: I don't want to talk about his divinity, I'd rather talk about his humanity. You know, how he spent his time here on earth. Listen, I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do - by what we deny ourselves, what we resist and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus and Mohammed

Music:

Here's the thing about music, I can listen to just about anything, it really depends on my mood.

Television:

The Office, Arrested Development, Scrubs, Futurama, The Colbert Report

Books:

The Bible; "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving; "What About Hilter?" by Robert Brimlow

Heroes:

My mom: She's an amazing woman, if I can be like her when I grow up, I will be blessed//My husband: Because he shows me that unconditional love exists in human form//My brother: He teaches me how to think critically more than any class ever could, and he challenges me//My sister: Because she is strong, she's dealt with a lot in her life and she still has joy//
