whatever, religion is close enough. personally though semantics are a hobby and have nothing to do with the feeling i get when i'm getting the feeling, if you feel me. i'll argue petty definitions all damn night long because its fun but that indefinable x which you purport to have founded this tribe is something that becomes irrelevant as soon as you try to name it.
religion or whatever, in this sense, is kind of like rock music or techno music or whatever. you can talk about it all day in a record store, but the only time rock music is true rock music is at a rock concert, where it is much too loud to talk about rock music. imagine if technolgy wasnt technology unless you were too busy being technical to talk about being technical. perhaps i digress, but whatever. for me, it is living my life in a way that gives priority to those moments where i feel creatively enabled by technology, and in so doing every day lived in accordance with that becomes a litany of individual meaningless rituals of unassailiable purity. at least, thats my excuse for sleeping late and wasting time on the computer. what's yours?
