I'm just curious about what would motivate your attack/investigation on religion.
That's easy: hypocrites. I've seen a lot of hypocrites, including family members like Mom, who couldn't see the hypocrisy in her actions versus so-called beliefs. And almost every priest I've ever met. And then I realized that the beliefs themselves contain hypocrisies at their root, as pointed out in the last book chapter... But that gets us into non-CP material. This last six years hasn't helped my mental outlook much, either, since beliefs and hypocrisy are at the root of those problems as well.

I suppose I can add 'curiosity' to the answer, as well. A real driving force after my experience was to understand the mind of God, to understand why I had to undergo such crap. For a while I believed the indoctrination, and a God of the nature I'd been raised with, and a motivation to understand it because of my experiences.

Per Amazon, the version you now have is 308 pages, including Index and blanks at end for printing folio purposes. I was able to shave 136 pages off the first edition to get that there! Pretty good, I must say! Very much like optimizing a program, based on my experience!

I believe you will have more difficulty reading #1, because I think I still used a lot of 'that's in the writing, and other redundancies back then. (And I notice I still don't automatically edit them out, as seen above.) But as long as you are curious, have fun!

Since our first headbutt, which was a misunderstanding on my part, I've never thought you were judgmental or non-understanding. And I don't think you have a reputation as being either of those in these forums, either.
