For your kind words and also sharing your experience. I was raised by liberal parents but in a not so liberal(southern Baptists church). When I rejected that theology I threw the baby out with the bath water and rejected not only Christianity but any and all things spiritual. After my parents died I did a lot of soul searching and after much searching I found a denomination that fulfilled my spiritual needs and affirmed my suspicions that what I had been taught about Jesus in the Baptist church didn't really jibe with what I felt had been hisis message. I wrote what I did in GD because I felt a twisted fundamentalism had not only warped the notion of Christianity in the minds of those on the right but that that misconception informed the veiws of many on the left as.well. I have been very encouraged by the response I have gotten from it, from fellow.Christians as well as those of different faiths and no faith.

God bless you and again, thanks.
