I went to chruch and youth group religiously (*snicker*) but I only had to be honest with myself once, ONCE, to realize that I didn't believe any of that crap. I'm ashamed to admit that it took a great friend to ask me "Do you really believe in all this stuff?" which when I answered in the affirmative he followed up with "Really?" Then, with the most trace amount of bravery, I admitted to myself and to him simultaneously that I didn't believe in it. Not to be hip, not to be cool, but to be honest.

And I can't tell you how alive the world became to me after that!
