On religiousness

I'm a "live & let live" sort of person.
That's how I go about my life, most of the time.
When it comes to religion, I'm all for whatever you want to believe in. After all, it's been proven that prayer & belief in something are good for your health - mental as well as physical. Religion offers hope. People can always use a little hope.

What I don'tike are religions that encourage intrusion into other people's lives. Ones that try to "convert" you to their cause. Recently, one such group came to my door. I tried very graciously to tell them I wasn't interested, I took their pamphlet & sent them on their merry way. To my horror, they returned! Fortunately for me, my husband answered the door. Being not quite as gracious as me, he told them we were athiests. They have yet to return.

My town has many churches with signs outside of them that say "all are welcome".
There's not one on my lawn!!
