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. -Liz Friedman > > _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
