I meant to take that religion quiz, but haven't felt "up to it"... maybe tomorrow. Watch me come out to be something totally not what I expect. I'm guessing I'll be some mix of UU, Buddhist, maybe pagan but I doubt it. Don't know enough about pagan stuff to really say, though.

HA!I think that desperation often forces people into religion. But I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. It's something to hold on to. It provides a community (sometimes), or at least a sense of common ground. I do have a bit of a hard time dealing with stuff like god will protect me, god would never hand us more than we can take, and stuff like that. But I don't want to offend anyone here, so maybe I should leave it at that!
