@neologist,
What, you did not know I am ordained clergy?
I was singing in church choirs at the age of 8 all the way into my early (rebellious) teens.
I on my own came back to religion and became a missionary at 18 years old and traveled across the country knocking on doors and witnessing "the word of God".... I converted my entire family to Christianity (which today I regret).
I turned many skeptical people to the gospel...
One day the Bible seemed to no longer fit with itself and I became skeptical myself.
I prefer skepticism over fervent belief now and only occasionally do I call upon any (non denominational, non sect) higher powers to do my bidding for me.
I do not believe in the Christian God but I do believe in some of the tenants of Christianity and yes "parts" of the Old testament too.
I am Jew/Christian/Muslim neutral and plan to stay that way...
