Aw, c'mon guys. Don't chicken out! You can only be offended if you choose to be.
Ellen:
That's very interesting stuff and an admirable path. And now I know why you don't have a TV!
Legacy:
A lot of people have found their own truths. I'm glad you've found yours.
John:
The best part of Christianity to me seemed to always be the word of Christ himself and not the constructs of the churches. The heaven and hell mythologies are a little lost on me. In my opinion, Jesus was a pretty cool guy (with a flair for transcendentalism) and mostly told people not to be a-holes to each other. He helped others and treated those with respect that would have been otherwise disregarded and looked down on. I think it's interesting how much his philosophy had in common with Siddhartha Guatama. I can respect any teacher who achieves enlightenment and then attempts the very difficult task of sharing it with others. But that's just my take on the religion.
I am curious what religions you are talking about here. (And don't say Scientology, they'll come looking for us!! Ha.)

I do not think I am better then anyone else for them but I do believe in the faith I have. The cop out refers to wishy-washy do whatever feels good "religions".
