For myself, to guard against their becoming muslim, either through coercion or lacking the true courage of their own faith to resist.

Well you do have a point given so few Christians consider the Ten Commandments still stand. This nation really opened up the flood gates to lawlessness, when she cowered over the public posting of the Ten. It does appear the walls have been breached and the flood of lies are swallowing US up. I just keep remembering the lesson of Gideon.

To: Just mythoughts

I was baptized and early raised Lutheran (MS).

Studied Catholicism at 12 with my mom so she could sing in their choir. Text was “Father Smith Instructs Jackson”, which I still have.

Looked at Buddhism in Vietnam.

Sang myself in the Episcopal Church as a paid baritone. Very rich musical tradition therein.

Finally spent a bit more than a year (full Torah cycle) in a small synagogue and cut my teeth in Judaism, which I would these days claim for my religious outlook. Though not of a Jewish mother born, and not really being a joiner, I nonetheless do take Torah very seriously...in combination with mathematics - which I also believe Holy - and the scientific method, which these days, so rankly abused by charlatans, still stands sturdy.

Not sure really why I detail all this, but to say and to satisfy myself as to how interesting this part of my life has been, praise God.
