Personally, I was raised in some warped, cultish version of Christianity - they showed us a series of movies in Sunday school where all who werent "saved" got left behind to be dramatically hunted down and beheaded by all the "evil", Satan-worshipping folk who were still on Earth, so i had an extremely poor opinion of religion ANYWAY...

But when i was a little older and wiser, i decided to do some research and to make an informed decision for myself regarding religion. I came to the conclusion that EVERYONE was full of crap, and that I didn't need the threat of eternal damnation to keep me in line. It took me awhile, but nowadays I can say that I'm a good person, and I remain so for my own reasons.

I sometimes think back and wish for the comfort I felt when i was younger and i trusted blindly in religion, that feeling that I was part of something that lasted forever...that feeling of absolutely knowing that a God existed was wonderful...

The truth (what i believe to be true, anyway) is lonely, my friends. We are what we make of ourselves, here and now, and it sucks to know that this is all we've got. But I take that as license to go make the most of everything, because life is short, people...

But I'll tell you, i enjoy my life.

The thought of someone else raising my son, some other man being his role model, that REALLY rubs me the wrong way.
