Personally, I feel like baxdog, at least the part about the Church of Me being the only church. But you know what? It's MY OPINION. And being an opinion, it's no more right than anyone else's, and I think it's fantastic that other people find value in organized religion; I can see where for many people it brings meaning to their lives. The only thing I don't groove on is people trying to get me to see their faith the way they do. Isn't gonna happen. So, you can be a Christian, or a Deist, or an Atheist, but please don't tell me that I'm one of those things. Because I'm not. I'm just me. I don't have an empty chasm in my life that's aching to be filled with your faith or non-faith or kinda-faith.
