One thing you never actually told us Junkyard, do you believe in god?

personally though, I think you should have your relationship with god in your own way. If you don't agree with a lot of the teachings of christianity, then I would think it would be better to have the faith that's modeled after your own logic. I don't believe in god myself, but I think an omnipitant all-knowing being would be more concerned with the type of person you are, not the groups you join. after all, these groups (christianity, islam, etc) were designed as a guide to your relationship with god. Jesus never said you have to be a christian (as many people think), he said you should head his teachings. You don't need a title to learn from him.
