Hi all,

Thank you to otseng for providing this forum and thank you all for being a part of civil discussions about religion. My name is sue, how do you do? :)

I was raised Roman Catholic and my father required me to attend church as long as I was a part of his household. When I moved out at the age of 19 I stopped going to chuch, and I let go of whatever tenuous religious beliefs I had at that point.

Joined the US Air Force at the age of 22.

Married at 23.

Divorced at 25.

Have been reading about buddhism for the last 4 years in an attempt to erase some of the mental fallout from my conflict-oriented family and the military.

Now at the age of 34 I'm involved in a software project and there have been a series of strange coincidences that have got me thinking a lot about deistic religions.

This seems like a good place to learn more.
