For the record, I was raised Christian in small town America. A couple of years ago, I saw the light (metaphorically speaking) in that most Christians, and indeed most of Christianity (in my opinion, mind) was a hypocracy, and very little of it was what Christ taught. (Historically speaking.) From there, I went soul searching.. and found my current religion. Buddhism. I did my research, and its jsut right for me. But just to make things interesting, I do believe firmly in the teachings of Fredrich Nietzche, and Niccolo Machiavelli. Makes for an interesting, if complicated system. But it works.
