I have an ever increasing respect for Matt Damon. To me, he seems less like an actor pretending to be a political activist and more like a political activist who happens to be an actor. He definitely has the mental capacities to back it up where other actors have just used their fame as a platform without the brains required to support their stance.

…change comes from the bottom up; always has, always will. “That goes for today, too. We can’t wait for Barack Obama to just fix things. We have to be in his ear. That’s our job as engaged citizens. –Matt Damon [Source, OpenNews.com]

Based upon this, I’d say I’m very spiritual.

A religious person is a someone who is afraid of Hell; a spiritual person has been there and back.

In fact, I’m so spiritual I keep going back for more!

From Les Jones who got it from Random Nuclear Strikes:

"Most people are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
— Abraham Lincoln

I always question whether or not these famous people really said these things, but it doesn’t matter because I really like the message.
