Pickup shonuff, I think it's fair to say that you come across as intelligent, well balanced and considerate.
I actually enjoy reading your posts as you've always got something "real" to say.
Most of us here don't need or seek "pats on the back", as we are fairly well rounded and confident in how we see the world. Sometimes this is construed as "arrogance".
The fact that you doubted yourself enough to join a religious forum to try to discover how and why the other half think, to me, shows more compassion and humility than any religious person can muster.
You're not going to become a better person by being crazy just to blend in them and mix better.
It really is sad about your relationship with your brother.
If keeping good with your brother is important to you, which we feel it is, all you can do now is ramp up your diplomatic skills and start faking sincerity around him.
I do it all the time! It's practical!
Also, after reading freuds: "the psychopathology of everyday life" when I was 18 (as a desperate attempt to try to "work out" my violent father), has made all the difference in my life.
I no longer put much weight on what people say, to me it's infinitely more important to analyse "why" they say it.
Good luck man...
