Subject: RE: What price the truth!!
So, how do you explain the fact that I've never been a churchgoer, was raised as an atheist, don't belong to any particular religion, and still believe that Jesus really existed (as a physical human being, I mean, with a whole lot of wonderful spiritual teachings to give)?

You gonna blame the church for that, Tunesmith? Ha. I laugh! I've regarded churches with grave suspicion for most of my life, and as a small child I walked out of Sunday school class on the 2nd or 3rd session, vowing to never come back, because it was all a bunch of fairy tales as far as I was concerned. You don't hold the monopoly on rationalism and objectivity, my friend, you're just a man who's jumped onto a particular bandwagon, and wants everyone else to jump on too. You oughta go into politics and satisfy that zeal to convert others to your own way of thinking.
