Good for you, George. If that's something that makes you happier, I think that's great.

As for me, I grew up in a Baptist church. Looking back, it was a rotten experience, and I think it's a horrible thing to do to a kid: filling them with guilt and fear before they're old enough to know what the hell is going on. And abandoning religion was the best, most liberating experience of my life.

I still haven't decided if I believe there is any higher power. There's something wonderfully ironic about the idea that this is all just random chance, and people still try to find proof of a grand designer. If there's some omnipotent force out there that put this all together, I bet it's far different than the human concept of "God." And, if it does exist, it's obviously got a pretty twisted sense of humor.
