personally, i think i'm a bit too late...grew up as catholic, married a disfellowshipped jw and now hate all religions equally. is the opium of the masses - for people who can't or don't want to sort out their own lives independently and 'need' other people or structures to be secure. also, starts a lot of war, rows around the dinner table and mad people are constantly spouting on about it. anything that causes this much trouble just can't be good for you! i work with a few 'christians' who are very judgemental, let their beliefs cloud their views of others and spend all their time trying to convert me. if it's so good...how come i haven't figured that out for myself? also - don't want to be a jade goody and miraculously find god on my death bed...well hypocritical and shallow. there - that should get you lot going - i'll just sit back and enjoy the resulting discussion! x
