Friends! I'll give you friends! - Becky Slater

About Me


I love to travel! So far I've been to many parts of Mexico, Canada, the East Coast a few times, Peru, England, Ireland, Scotland, Monaco, Italy, France, Spain, Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, The Czech Republic, and Croatia. I hope to make it to Alaska, Asia, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand some day but I think my next priority is to get back to Mexico. I really need my Mexican fix. I love the small towns with their humble yet beautiful attractions - like a town that is only known for its furniture making or a town that is best known for its sweaters. No joke! I love that stuff! If you want to take me along for another trip you may have in mind that's cool too. Let's go!
I believe in chastity. I very much enjoy talking about religion. I am a devout Catholic Christian and I love talking about my faith with other Catholics, Protestants and pretty much anyone who is willing to discuss the "taboo" subject that is religion. They say you should never discuss religion or politics but I whole-heartedly disagree. I am not looking to start trouble or win debates. I simply want mother Church to be seen in the light that she deserves. I want people to know the real truth about the religion they hate - whether they hate Catholicism, Christianity, or organized religion in general. I think people sometimes hate merely because they want to blame someone else for what their conscience tells them. That's enough out of me. May God bless you all.
