Hi Doug!

Yes, great screen name. Reminds me of college astronomy class, ooh and we even had an observatory! I hope you'll find time to visit back.

Boy, do I hear ya about religion and churches - and I never even WENT to any!


In fact, about 4 months ago I started going to one (what possessed me, I may never know,) and --- - it isn't evil! I don't run screaming in the opposite direction!
In fact, it's a wonderful place full of warm, welcoming people, consistently taking a stand for social justice and speaking out for the oppressed. I always would have thought a church would be the last place to find something like that.
