Well, thanks for being honest, Dave (and shani). (Where have you been, anyway?!) I was not "taken in," I chose completely to become an evangelical Christian, and I have walked away from it, just as freely. I apologize for my condescending tone, but take it as a condescension towards myself during that stage of my life, because I do feel that I am in a better place than I was back then. Yep, my view of life is definitely less than positive, and I prefer it that way... otherwise I would have never left the fold in the first place, because life sure was sunnier over there.

Good to hear this as well. I just dislike hearing that it was somehow "God's will" that a brother ran over his baby sister, accidentally. There is no reason for it. I just want to hear a Christian say that, for once... so it's refreshing to hear your viewpoint.
