Everyone has something that makes them different from most!  Are you a vampire?  An acrobat?  A redhead?  Or do you have a whole LIST of things that make you special?  Come on, and give us something to celebrate!

Me, I'm different from most in that I have no religion.  Not atheist, not pagan, not any descendant of Christianity, not even agnostic.  I have a complete lack of religion!

What's your peculiarity?

  • I'm member number 2!!  Woo Hoo!
    But seriously folks, things that make me peculiar.....I'm a witch, I have 8 kids (some people think that's peculiar-where I'm from it's about average), I'm trying to go off-grid and be self-sufficient, I talk to animals?  Does it count that I'm funny looking?  I guess that's about it.  Not so peculiar after all.

    Holy cow!!!  Where are you from?  Here in the big city, you get looked at funny if you have more than 2.  That's awesome!  More love to spread around!

    I'm from the midwest where we had a lot of big farm families but more specifically I'm from a big Irish Catholic family so all of my relatives have at least five kids.

  • Well, I have no real religion to speak of, more a set of beliefs.  Also, I'm a lefty!!!  Woo-hoo!  I work in a pet store while working on a getting a modeling career up and running, along with being the mom of one spectacular little boy.
      And most importantly, I'm happy with my life, which is hard for a lot of people to say.

  • Here comes the deservedness, Im a recently converted Catholic, I breast and bottle feed my girls, im a big girl, full time student, was a teen mother, divorced once remarried, I dont believe in spanking, hate guns, pro life, anti gay marriage pro civil union, addicted to reading, drink AT LEAST one pot of coffee a day, I smoke and wont stop just cause someone else doesn't like it, if I want to slowly kill myself I will. Im a red head, and sadly only one of my girls got that trait, I am a very different person, I try to always be respectful of other people and there choices and decisions, I have a gay brother but believe it's wrong but I LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF MY HEART, and I hate abortion but one of my best friends had one and I LOVE HER DEARLY.

    I'm thinking that pro-choice statement in your message is a mistake.

  • I am sans religion as well. I am a silly parent and not afraid to show it! I'm not afraid to get down on my kids level and reexperience childhood through their eyes. I'm constantly learning from them as they are from me. I want to build a house from recycled, 'green' materials (if possible all from Michigan, only cause I think we don't turn to our neighbors enough!) I'm sure there's much more...
