Religious Question/Opinion

[TLyttle]

Ordained minister? Interesting...

My grandfather was a Presbyterian minister, my father an atheist. Growing up, I heard the two of them go at it every Sunday in granddad's den. Through osmosis rather than actually paying attention, I learned a LOT about religion; once out on my own, I went to churches, synagogues, temples etc, listening some more.

It took awhile, but I eventually came to my own conclusions, and have tried to stay within my own boundaries as far as behaviour is concerned. The fights between Christians and Moslems, pro-life and pro-choice, hawks and doves, and all the other fights based on religion, I just stay out of them because I (by birth) am a bastard and welcome in few churches or temples, I will never be pregnant, have never faced war, and live my life with a social conscience rather than financial priorities.

With all this background, I always look forward to the JWs and SDAs, and I never send them away; I always make sure that they go back to their leader with more questions than answers!
