Reply #150: I don't think so, which can lead to some interesting permutations. [View All]

I went happily about my life without religion, never thought about it, for years. At one very low point in my life I was attracted to the music I heard from the Lutheran church across from where I lived which took me back to my childhood, so I started going to church. I found a community, but never really fit. After some years of seeking I went back to basics and converted to Judaism (reform, which by some reckoning it was never real anyway) and stayed with that for a decade, but eventually realized that it was not the Jesus thing that bothered me, or the oddities of the evolution of christianity, but the fundamental concept of 'god' I was never comfortable with.

So today, I am a converted Jewish atheist, or a convert to secular Judaism, however you want to put it.

I try not to think about it too much.
