Welcome, though I think you hopped into the lion's den covered in zebra steaks..
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I said we all did, my hobbit - but we don't put God behind it.

Thanks for the generalizations! Since we are exploring your
feelings here, how about we get your feelings on why prisons are filled with religious people? Do you "feel" that they justify breaking the law because they know that their crimes (a.k.a. "sins") will be forgiven by their sky daddy?
