...is actually a good thing, understanding that many disagree. And if this is where you are (with nothing but your 'peace of mind), my hat is off to you.

It is a liberating experience. It is liberating to know that you can choose your own beliefs even if it means standing in the cold. Most people would prefer the warmth and protection of a crowd but like to look at those crazy loners 'howling at the moon'....
