Who am I?

            Before I begin to really blog my thoughts, I would like to explain a few things about myself that will help you to understand me a little more clearly in the future. I belong to the LDS church, and so does my mother, but my father is an atheist. This has given me a new perspective on the world in general. My father has taught me to think hard and clearly about topics, and form my own conclusions.
             If you are a cold-cut, by-the-book Mormon (or any other religion for that matter) who believes that everything said in the Bible and other works happened exactly and precisely how it was written, I commend you for your belief. I think that everyone should have their own opinions and beliefs, and that they are just as valid as mine, even if I don't understand it. I like comments that agree with me, but I love comments that disagree with me. What that does not mean, however, is that I want rude or degrading comments that insult me or my opinion directly on this blog. Courteously disagreeing with me and presenting your evidence is the proper way to get your opinion across (plus you won't get deleted).
             I would like to take a few sentences to explain my methods of blogging. I will post a Master title that will tell what the next group of posts will be about (ex: Politics). Then, each post will include an Inferior title that is part of my Master title (ex: The Party System). Under the Inferior title will be my thoughts on whatever the title is. A master title can take from one week to three to complete (or so I have planned) and will be appropriate.
            If you want to be selective and only choose posts that aren't boring looking or just not your thing, I would support you in that endeavor. I know I write like a philosophy major that's still in high school, but I hope my comments will not be too boring.
            There is one last thing I would like to address in this post. If you feel threatened or insulted by anything that I write about in my blog, please comment on me and inform me of this. I promise that I will never purposely try to insult anyone, but everyone is entitled to make mistakes and I would love to be able to recognize and correct them for that post and all my future work. I would also ask that you not be childish and get upset over every single little thing I put on this blog that disagrees with what you think. That I why I am doing this, to learn and to share.
            I am very excited to be able to learn and grow, and I hope that this blog gets you thinking. I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts and opinions Now that I have gotten over the very boring stuff, I will introduce you to my new master topic, Politics.

  1. I think it is very cool that your dad has taught you to be careful about creating your opinions and thinking about them first. That's pretty cool and not something that a lot of people your age (I'm Mr. T's intern and a senior) understand or utilize.
