wished hard, but I didn't pray. I had developed a certain distrust of
organized religion growing up, but I felt I had the capacity to be a
spiritual person, and to hold some fervent beliefs. Quite simply, I believed
I had a responsiblity to be a good person, and that meant fair, honest,
hardworking, and honorable. If I did that, if I was good to my family, true
to my friends, if I gave back to my community or to some cause, if I wasn't
a liar, a cheat, or a thief, then I believed that should be enough. At the
end of the day, if there was indeed some Body or presence standing there to
judge me, I hoped I would be judged on whether I had lived a true life, not
on whther I believed in a certain book, or whether I'd been baptized. If
there was indeed a God at the end of my days, I hoped he didn't say, "But
you were never a Christian, so you're going the other way from heaven." If
so, I was going to reply, "You know what? You're right. Fine."
