Ah man... a lot to think about, huh? Admittedly, I do have a really hard time getting past the whole HP thing. Having been raised in a very strict religious home, I am also battling with my own thoughts on religion and I can tell you, "let go and let god" does not fly well with me at all right now. It doesn't mean I demean others for doing so and it doesn't mean I can't try other means of support
I will definitely keep reading the boards. As many different stories and personalities as there are here, they are all very much the same. I thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
