Unfortunately, Greg, your reply seems like a long run-on sentence, and I’m having a hard time figuring out what your specific point is.
I guess a reason why I am different from a lot of people is that I grew up a christian (cradle catholic, in fact), but the years of hypocrisy (not of membership, but the difference between what is taught and what occurs in nature) drove me to believe that religion itself is merely a human construct.
Please elaborate on your point.
