My parents never mentioned God, yet we drew straws to decide who would accompany my Grandmother to the Presbyterian Church on Sunday mornings....At my Grandmother's insistence, I was even baptized (an insurance policy, I suppose)......My natural instinct?...... I never thought about God, Heaven, Hell ....well....any of that hocus-pocus.... Now, of course, I resent any imposition made by "believers".....and am quite content without any considerations of dogma, faith, and hereafters of eternal rewards or punishments. It is almost incomprehensible to me that almost everyone is of another accordance altogether....The "believers" that know me are always saying "but....you ARE a very "spiritual" person......in that patronizing manner that is so annoying to those of us who just simply "do not believe"......Yet, we must indulge them, nonetheless for we still sit in the back seats of their buses to Heaven.......
