Cheri, Although this was specifically directed to Julie, I feel I must
weigh in.

I was born and raised Roman Catholic. At 17, I became an atheist. At 21, I
started studying oriental philosophies, Buddhism in particular. At 50,
while practicing Insight Meditation for 19 hours a day, with no breaks, at
a Cambodian Buddhist temple in Long Beach, CA, on the tenth day I underwent
an experience that was physical, mental and emotional, and cannot be
described, but only experienced. That was 26 years ago.

Thanks be to G-d, I am still a happy atheist. To quote the Bard, "It's a
whole lot EASIER to be an athiest [sic] than it is to be a religious person
of any kind." I take joy in Hanukkah and Christmas and am disgusted by
those whose aspiration is to blow themselves up in the hope of murdering
some innocent infidel.
