					<description><![CDATA[[...] I was called into the ministry at the ripe old age of fourteen at summer camp at Oral Roberts University&#8212;as were fully one-third of the other boys at camp that night. Needless to say, for most who went up to the altar that night, it didn&#8217;t take. Ten years later, as I was finishing seminary, I figured out I had chosen poorly.

					<description><![CDATA[OK, so you were never molested.  But I do know a little bit about your genetic stock, so I&#039;m not sure I&#039;ll let you completely off the hook with the &quot;I was not abused bit.&quot;  Some might consider cold mac n cheese, grandparents with Turets and parents allowing their children to hang around people who only wear the color purple to be abusive.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[1.  I was raised middle of the road Methodist.  No mention was made of SATAN or Revelations.  But neither did they really want things to change.  A small group of people ran the place, or thought that that they did.  Sleepy little church.  Suspicious of outsiders.  
I used to hide in the graveyard so I didn&#039;t have to attend boring service and Sunday School.

It was where I, at age 10. came to doubt Christianity.

2.  My parents decided to take us to a Presbyterian church.  But my father didn&#039;t like it becuase it was too liberal.  He couldn&#039;t understand why anyone would support a black radical like Angela Davis.

3.  My parents decided that then we must go to a very liberal Methodist church.  But my Mom didn&#039;t like the fact that lesbians were so open about themselves as to sit next to each other and hold hands.  The minister has just gotten divorced because he&#039;s closeted gay.  Not closeted anymore.  

And part of it it too was that my sister Melissa got into a bad way with a boy who attended church there.  She was hypersexual and smoked pot because of him.  And Dad and Mom decided we needed to leave.

4.  So then it was time to go back to Jesus.  Mom and Dad decided that we needed a taste of the old time religion.  So, enter the praise and worship (non-denominational) read:  Baptist church.  Southern Baptist with new money.  Suddenly I&#039;m hearing about Satan.  Suddenly I&#039;m understanding Jonathan Edwards.

We leave because it&#039;s all about making money.  Beware the edifice complex.  It&#039;s not about Jesus Christ--it&#039;s about $70 million dollar buildings.

5.  So I go to Unitarian Universalist Church of Birmingham.  Small church.  Insular.  Snooty.  Have to prove that you&#039;re worthy before they&#039;re accept you.  Took me two years before they took me seriously.  

6.  Join cult known as FUUSE/C*UUYAN.  See that they have no sense of irony.  Object strongly to AO/AR programming.  Object to incompetent way program is run.  Leave.

7.  Move to Atlanta.  Join UUCA.  Enjoy self immensely.  Healthy environment.  Good social group.]]></description>
