About Me

I am a Christian, an American, a Californian and a Republican.In that order.All of them serve to define me.None of them serve to bind me.

My Interests

"If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself."- Saint Augustine"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."- Martin Luther King, Jr."We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive."- C.S. Lewis"The purpose of an open mind is to close it, on particular subjects. If you never do — you've simply abdicated the responsibility to think".- Willian F. Buckley. Jr."That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprize. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."- Abraham Lincoln"Poverty is uncomfortable; but nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim."- James A. Garfield"The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer."- Theodore Roosevelt"No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."- Calvin Coolidge"My country owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope."- Herbert Hoover"If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom."- Dwight D. Eisenhower"If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together."- Richard M. Nixon"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."- Gerald Ford"Republicans believe every day is 4th of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15."- Ronald Wilson Reagan"When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive."- George W. Bush

True Christian
You are humble, gracious, kind and extremely Christ-like. You believe in the bible as your law, but read it in its original language. Perhaps you're not a scholar, but you're not an armature either. You normally don't feel church is acceptable for your form of worship, and if anyone believes different from you, you might try to learn something from them.
You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.
