Why is someone forcing you to believe something? I find that hard to
believe. : )
People believe what they need to believe, but at the root of almost
every belief is the need to belong, to share, to find common ground
with your fellow man. Obviously in the realm of religion you and Ryan
don't seem to have much in common, but on an up note you probably both
enjoy Lego's.
