Being Baptized under the United Church was probably one of the ten
times I attended Church.   The other times where when I was going to
Sunday school and my folks wanted to dump me because they wanted a
Sunday afternoon together to get it on without the kid!

I am an Atheist.  But I respect faith because I know too many people
of faith to be like that asshole Atheist Christopher Hitchens, who I
found repugnant because he had a hate on for good people who have
faith and use it to raise their children and get through times that
anyone knows when people need strength.   There are more good people
of faith than there are not.
