I do not enjoy being vilified solely because of my visage or a poorly chosen user name that I once for a period of time used many years ago. My skin is brown and I have a mustache, but I am neither "Digital Devil" nor the Devil.
Contrary to certain gossip and possible lies that might have been told about me, sometimes by certain of my own family and many times by people from my hometown of San Luis Obispo, I am not evil, but I have never made claims of being perfect. I believe that most people who make claims of actually being perfect are at the very least imperfectly honest, at the very least to themselves.
I believe that the telling of lies can at times be a serious sin, sometimes depending on the kind of lie that might be told and perhaps also on how adamantly the liar adheres to his or her lie or lies. At the very least, certain of the lies that might have been told about me are possibly grossly exaggerated truths.
As an aside, I tend to believe in God more than I do in family but also in family more than I do in religion. My past religion was Roman Catholicism, but I am presently no longer a Roman Catholic, tending to perceive the bent of that particular religion as possibly being too white supremacist as well as too Italian centered.
I still harbor certain Christian and possibly even Roman Catholic tendencies, but do not call myself either. Nor am I a Jew or a Muslim. I simply call myself a "Theist"; I believe in God and in the Ten Commandments and to a certain degree in Jesus Christ. But I dislike authority, including the authority of a priest, pontiff, rabbi, or minister breathing down my neck and trying to define my personal nuances of belief for me.
