Thanks Mirek03. Quick reply. Have a nice day at school.

I'm afraid I'm not a very good Buddhist. Too many ghosts of my past are still bothering me. I envy you. It's difficult for me not to have opinions about a religion like Christianity. It was quite a struggle to get rid of it. And somehow something always stays behind.
Because of my past I know quite a lot about Christianity which makes it very difficult to respect for me. Most Christians know almost next to nothing about their faith so I couldn't and wouldn't blame them personally.
My own family or what is left of it (grandfather, mother, brother, sister in law) is still part of it and they are good and very nice people. So I can and do make a distinction between the believers and their religion. I do respect them, but respecting their faith is just too much for me. I can't do it. I know too much about it. Too much inside information.
