Naw, that's just nerdy, and nerdy is fundamentally good. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Maybe this stems from my former fundy-Chistian background, but I see myself as mostly a bad person! I'm not sure if that's true or not though. I may elaborate later. We're going on vacation to Cape Cod pretty soon, so I'll be out for a week.

I try my best to be a good person. Wether or not I am isn't up to me to judge. Its more up to my various aquaintances wether friends or family or girlfriend or other people in my life.

i couldn't say if i was a good person or a bad person. you'd have to ask someone who knows me.

I am a boring person. I'm not sure if that is good or bad.

Most people i know in real life say i'm a good person. More so than others. Most people on-line tell me that i'm a sociopath. The latter are actually right, i *am* a diagnosed sociopath, to some degree at least. And as most sociopaths, i am good at blending in.

I care about the abstract, human rights and so on. But i don't care about 'people' in specific. And you should experience some of the thoughts i have. Stuff that anybody, christian *or* atheist would consider to come straight from hell.

but don't worry....i don't bite.

Ohh! Aren't you so cool and non-conformist. Maybe one day you'll grow to be like the people you most admire. Maybe one day you'll just grow up.

don't give him such a hard time, it has nothing to do with maturity really. or at least i assume because it has nothing to do with that on my side. *i* too feel more connected with and more compassion for the criminals than their victims. i know rationally that this is 'wrong', but i feel it nonetheless.

and i too laugh at times when i see the news, i too laughed at sept.11, not because of some anti-american mentality or anything like that, things like that just amuse me.

i realize that most people consider that to be fucked-up, and it probably is. but it's the way i am, and i can't change that.

on the other hand, getting all emotional about people dying halfway across the world who you don't even know seems pretty immature to me. but that's just me.

I personally belive that I am a basically good person, and it is that belief that really inspires me to not go to church. The thing I hated was being yelled at for being a sinner, when I personally had really done nothing too terribly wrong.

I know that some fundies would say that makes me a bad person, and if you have that opinion, I guess there is very little I can do to change it....

But I love my parents, I love my girlfriend, I am honest, I don't hurt people for fun, I am a good friend, I believe in God, although I worship in my own way. I guess all these things help to make me a good person, but then again, how do I know? I don't know if I can just say I am a good person, b/c truthfully, can we determine that for ourselves?

I admit, I have my faults, I am only human.....heh.....and those faults are fun sometimes....But when I do mess up bad enough that it is generally unnacepted, I feel bad for it.

Oh I'm so conflicted.....

Okay, good question.

Am I a good person or a bad person?

Supposing the correctness of popular notion concerning morality, I am not extraordinarily good.
