Subject: RE: BS: Religion question?
What a sweeping statement, Brucie! It comes from a position that non-christians and non-religious folks do not accept, because it appropriates all variations of other people's spirituality when you make the pronouncement that "God's God" (as in The-One-and-Only).

Raptor, this is a point in your life when finding new social situations and new support is helpful and necessary. But seen through the sights of any of the missionary religions, you're also a sitting duck, a mark for possible conversion for those who might want to take advantage of your vulnerability right now. As someone who doesn't practice one of the organized "industrial" religions, I keep the Baptists at arm's length down here in the Bible Belt. They are particularly pushy.

But they might back off if you tell them you're Catholic.

Good luck. I hope things are getting easier for you.
