I wasn't raised with religion, so i was born thinking and now i call myself an atheist. I allways thought, that a believer could never be really persuaded, but i had "faith" in human intelligence and reason. But somehow i gradually gave up hope... and than I read your article about your excuses and your parable. Thank you. especially your parable made me cry. the last part is so full with freedom and relieve... Thank you again for showing me that not only reason, but also heart can change something so blind as faith in a god. Saskia Dear Rechelle,

Last week at the zoo, unbeknownst to me (is that a word?) a yellow caterpillar crawled up my pant leg. I felt a sting and thinking it was an aunt, I squished it - guts all over my leg and pants. My skin is still trying to work out all the little barbs it left in my leg. It still itches like crazy. I found out that it is poisonous for small animals to eat them. For me, it was like rubbing fiberglass insulation all over my leg. I would rather have watched it bloom into a butterfly.......and I think it would have too. I have always wanted to do that.

We used to have tons of these on a fennel plant back in NC. If you gently touched them they would put "horns" up from their head. Scared me to death the first time one did that!
