Before when? Huh
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Before these forums? If it is in the God Delusion (i think it is), then yes. Smile But I like to see it here every time it pops up ^_^

Thanks for all the replies! I especially liked the first link thanks Kyu. So now I have a guilt free life to look forward to...can sleep in on Sundays, have sexual freedom, not worry about going to hell and not being part of the dellusional mass. Sure beats living your whole life in fear under strict controll by a non existing God who devoid us of freedom and lots of pleasures!

So thanks again for all the inputs

Frodo: not sure what you're meaning to ask. How did my mom persuade me into Christianity originally or what nationality/ethnic background I'm from?

What denomination of Christianity Craveman.

Guilt from an external source is never as real as the one imposed by yourself. Freedom doesn't mean irresponsibility. We're all bound by similar morals. It's your reasoning for them that has (supposedly) changed.

Well, you don't get pressured to give your money to a bunch of phony bastards....and you get to sleep late on Sunday.

Right there, those are two big advantages.

You got that right, my brother! Looking at the richness of a lot of churches today is crazy. Did you know, some require you to submit a certain percentage of your income each month?
