I grew up as a Catholic and the rituals are just repugnant to me. Ugh. Also, here in Italy, they tend to be REALLY over the top and pompous. I can't stand them.
I've never had much to do with protestants, but they look like ignorant moneygrabbers most of the time.
Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs... It would be nice to listen to them, as long as they have something new to say.

I'm interested in it, but I'm a European to the bones. It doesn't fit my nature. I'm certainly not an ascetic being.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
