My Thoughts on Religion...
Well, I was brought up in a Methodist church for a good 16 to 17 years and finally I couldn't take it any more. The final straw was the sermon on how gays are evil.
Spiritually, I guess, I'm an atheist... though I'm not quite sure. I would love to get into a deep religion conversation with someone whom I respect, but I've yet to find a person who I think of as a mentor who disagrees with me. When I did go to church, I liked to play the devil's advocate. I'd ask questions such as "If someone does me wrong or doesn't worship me, I wouldn't ban them to an eternal hell if I had that power. Doesn't that make me less self-righteous than God?" I never quite got an answer.
But, please don't e-mail me and try to change my mind... like I said, I need to have a conversation with someone that I respect and chances are, I don't even know you.
