I'm sorry, but I just can't buy this stuff. I felt myself leaving in my 20s and am now 60. I try to keep an open mind, but it is closing more and more on organized religion. I can't love a God who would be this arbitrary. Or for that matter would kill little kids because people didn't pray enough, or because of all the other horrible things the likes of huckabee and the others are saying, and I don't want to "commune" with those that accept this either. I guess I'll stay home and think about things by myself.
