Why are you here? Don't you have anything better to do than criticize a religion you (according to your profile) havn't been a part of?
Good question, I think I'll bless you with an answer (and I don't care if you think it's valid).
I am here cuz I like to be here.
I am here because of the people on this board, a fine group of people of different backgrounds, ages, religions or no, politics, sexual orientations, marital status, race (though we have discuss whether there is such a thing ), etc...(I may have missed a catagory).
I am here because there are like minded people here who know the turth about the so-called "truth".
I am here because of the support and love that is shown time and time again on this board.
I am here because of the smart people who keep me updated (yeah the stupid newlight) though most times I really don't give a whoot.
I am here because it's a relaxing place to be to waste a few minutes when I'm not being a wife of a husband who is on disability, mother of four kids, or an overnight grocery stocker.
I am here because no one can tell me not to be, I'm not in fear of being found out by the elders and marked or shunned.
That's why I am here and have been for quite a while. Sorry you can't guilt me into leaving here.
