On religion

"When [author Harry Golden] was young, he once asked his father, 'If you don't believe in God, why do you go to synagogue so regularly?' His father answered, 'Jews go to synagogue for all sorts of reasons. My friend Garfinkle, who is Orthodox, goes to talk to God. I go to talk to Garfinkle.' (Harold Kushner When Bad Things Happen to Good People

You're totally a heretic. No, wait, you're lustful. Sorry. I forgot about the inferno.

You might want to check out ljbahai - it's a community of Baha'is and those interested in it. Lots of questions and other information is shared there. And I think there are a whole bunch of people who live in IL who are on LJBaha'i too :)

And I know there are a great number of Buddhist communities too on LJ. If you like doing your exploring online, I do!
