I respect religious people but I know that I could never be one.
Actually I am really infatuated by religion. I have been to a church,
synogague, and a hare krishna temple and I thought that they were all
interesting but I could not join a religion unless I truly believed,
and I can't believe in a religion. It just isn't in me.
