I was thinking that religion is going about it wrong. The this presence of God or at least religion doubts us. What if we're told, we believe in you. You're good. You're not the natural enemy of God. God made everything and God is everywhere so you're part of God and God is part of you. If you stumble that's ok. You don't need to plead for forgiveness and make up excuses and repent. You're good so therefore you ARE the good excuse. I believe your are a real as God. You teach a person to fish by first helping them believe in themselves. Discouragement is a tool of the devil in told. Yeah, so does that make religion a tool of the devil? I don't know that it does but they're doing it wrong. I'm just a secular Transhumanist and I believe in you religion. I just don't think you truly believe in yourselves and that's why. I'm not saying to do anything out of the ordinary. Just be nice to yourselves. It's ok to be abstinent. Just don't make someone feel shame for being addicted /having urges. If man shall not live in bread alone, they can't live in paper alone either. That's why Jesus said, ok, I had to clear some things up because of the lost people, but the only thing I want you to do is love others as you love thyself and the God head. That means, you are kind to yourself so you can be kind to others. Be kind to others so you can feel good about being kind to yourself. And be kind to the God head because they need love too. It's not just about an attitude of gratitude. This idea that God wants glory only creates glory hounds down here. If he truly wanted glory that is a very for help and a dwindling energy but what is going on here in this realm is not always love including in the USA. There is much despair. I think that if we all did this we don't just make it worth our time here on earth, but we make it with God's time and all his heavenly hosts' time too by creating a nurturing experience.

What gave me this idea besides my "rebellious nature?" The song "A Lonely Voice" by October Project.

I was greatly influenced by music. Loreena McKennitte, Sheila Chandra, Tara Maclean, October Project, Enya, Corrs, Sarah McLachlan and many more. My journey already has begun in my heart and in my mind. Now my soul needs to begin that journey. How odd and sad that my body is doing better than what I've come to think of as a soul. Though, it simply could be a new part of me waiting to be born through experience, travel and culture. It's not that I want to be inclusive or progressive. That's politics. I want to simply connect with people. I want to meet them. I have a limited, vulnerable life that could be snuffed out at any time and I want to journey to see new things, and see things I've never heard of or felt or tasted. I want to love things I'd never have a chance to love any other way. I probably won't live forever. Transhumanism might not happen in my lifetime. But I want for time to stand still when I'm not.

I just got a Nikon Coolpix S6300 for my birthday. I want to photograph more than nature, especially since I can't get out much without money from a job paying for gas. And with winter coming up, I need to focus on macro or snow photography, when it's  not snowing since that'd ruin my camera.

Just wanna say hi to my watchers and those who I watch, and hopefully I can raise a few buckaroos so I can include photography as a second income.

Too bad people aren't generally commissioned to take photos, other than portrait or wedding. This camera isn't quite professional so I can't be doing that.

Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions for making sales on Deviant Art? Thanks!

I might get a $300 iHS Olympus Tough 820. olympusamerica.com/cpg_section… and it's gotten good reviews so far. For now, I want to hold off on a DSLR. The one I want to start off with is about $700 though I could get a PEN for $500 or so. Still, for my needs for now, I need something tough. I would like to be more active here but I paid for a flickr account for a whole year. Still, if I upload at the same time, it should work. I've got cable and 802.11n so it should be fast either way or both ways at the same time. The iHS camera, TG-820 should be enough. It's not a PEN but it's pretty good from what I've been reading. I'd like to get more active and eventually get a Nikon DSLR or a Canon. I tend to like Nikon though. I'll end up doing more than just nature photography. I'm going to photograph events and around the towns/cities in this area as well as nature photos. I'll try to be creative as it'll be fun and perhaps even sell some prints along with being satisfying. I thought of you guys and hopefully I'll have time to follow you and whatnot again. I will be returning to school so I'll see how busy I get. Hi everyone!

I'm baaaaack! Long story but I'll be photographing again. Perhaps I'll write some better poems. :) I've got an Olympus Stylus Tough 3000 camera now, plus an iPod touch and an LG Optimus V with 3.2MP built in camera. Of course the Olympus is a bit better for art, but my iPod managed to take one photo better than my Olympus due to washout by the sun. I've gotten some decent photos with it so far, and plan on taking more. I'll try to get on Deviant Art a bit more often.

Am wondering what policies on nude art are...I used to look good need to get in shape. My mom is nuts, and so are my neighbors. I've pretty much been poisoned and jail food is noxious too. Nothing decent to eat around here and mormons are really really weird when you say no. This is why. They. Are. Creepy. I wish they'd dry up and go away.

I'd rather not to the nude art...but man am out of shape anyway...anyone have some food I can borrow? :(

I hate utah. A bunch of pervs, jealous haters and asshats that are religious fanatics.
