OK and this is in no way to tick anyone off about your religious beliefs, but is believing in god really a virtue??? The merriam webster dictonary defines virtue as 1 a : conformity to a standard of right : MORALITY b : a particular moral excellence. While I understand that your belief in a god is something you believe strongly in and something you cherish, is it really a "standard of right"? I do not believe in any specific religion or god, but does that make me or anyone else who doesn't a worse person or does it make you a more righteous person? As I said before, this isn't a slam on anyone. People have a right to believe what they want, but it's just something to think about

As for my virtues: I'm caring, compassionate, trustworthy, funny, intelligent, well rounded, very in touch with the problems of the world, I spend nearly every second of my day trying to better the world or at least thinking about the problems and how we all can fix them.
