One of the things I look forward to each week is Don Hall’s semi-regular blog posts titled “I believe.” In these posts, Don rages against society and our stupid ways. He rants against tourism, money-grubbing politicians, oil companies, theatre companies, civility, and even himself. It’s a refreshingly honest way of looking at the world, and I wish more people were like Don in their expressions!

People tend to hide behind niceness and civility, so you never truly know what someone believes until the shit hits the fan. They’ll waver and sit on that fence and dodge the questions and give fuzzy answers until they turn blue. So it’s nice when someone flat out says “I believe…”
I think we all believe certain things, from beliefs about religion to secularism, music to movies, politics to entertainment. We all have beliefs — things that can’t be proven by facts, things that are merely opinions. But in this great country, we have the right to our own opinions and we have the right to the freedom of speech.

Inspired by Don’s blogs, I created a website for people to express their beliefs in a public forum. So please, take two minutes out of your life and share your beliefs with the world.

The rules:

1) You have up to fifty words to express your beliefs.

Okay, just one rule. You can remain anonymous if you wish, or you can include your first name or your screen name or your nickname or however you wish to identify yourself.

Share your beliefs with the world: www.yourbeliefs.org

And for those so inclined, please Stumble! YourBeliefs.org or share it with the social media site of your choice. Tell your friends and get them to visit. I truly believe this site can offer a valuable insight into the contrasts and similarities in our beliefs as a society.

Thanks.
