My dear, were you the rule rather than the exception, the world would be a far better place, and religion would be wholly irrelevant as a moral force, and would be entirely a celebration of living. *That* would be (and always has been, on the rare occasion I have encountered it) a type of religion with which I have no quarrel at all. The fact that I can count on one hand the people I have encountered of which that can be said, however, is where my difficulty lies.

As I see it, you would be essentially the same wise and loving soul no matter the particular creed you happened to espouse. The Pat Robertsons of the world would likewise be the same foul, power-mongering, hate-spewing toads regardless of the creed they claimed as justification.

Christianity, indeed any faith, sticks in my craw only when and to the extent that its followers and use literalism and dogma as an excuse to, at best, meddle in the lives of others, and at worst, deem it a righteous act to kill them. Based on what I know of you, I consider you to be of another species entirely....

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
