Religion

My father told me "I really haven't spent much time worrying about that." And that was the last discussion we had. And that's how I like to lead my life.

We came from a melding of southerners (don't know their religion) and fairly puritan New Englanders.

My mother liked going to services (Episcopalian), especially the "holy days" - more a social thing. I sort of liked the pomp and circumstance but was also creeped out by the old men that anointed themselves in charge.

I really don't care how others feel as long as they don't impinge on my basic human rights. But most religions seem to want to be controlling - sometimes to the point of killing those that don't agree with their current high priests' edicts.
