Hi Don. I too was a Lutheran church-going agnostic. When I was told I was not going to receive salvation because I was not willing to convert my Jewish friends, and I found I could not question the dogma of the church, I became a Unitarian. A non-religious Jewish friend of mine laughed when I told him I had become a Unitarian, and said, "that is just a half-way house to kick the religion habit." I am now an ex-Unitarian. I have great respect for the religious views of others, but I do not want to be told what I should or should not belive. I believe religious intolerance is the root of most of the world's troubles. This is not religion, however, but a desire to gain personal power and control over other people.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
