like some of the posters above, one of my main concerns with christianity is its need to condemn all the non-conformers. if you do not beleive in god, you are going to hell; if you believe in any other god, you are going to hell; if you believe in more than one god, you are going to hell; if you (fill in the appropriate content here), you are going to hell. that just sounds more like a threatening full of hatred to me. there are religions in the world that are much more lenient and mild, buddhism for example. anyone can become a buddha if she/he achieves enlightenment and realization through self-cultivation and pratice in everyday life. i do believe there is some super power up there; what it exactly is i do not know. but please, to quote tecoyah, \"allow me be who i am\", believe in what i believe, explore what i know not, and please \"stop damning me to hell\".
