I worry a little about people that try to make others follow them in their beliefs, it smacks of an inability to accept others as they are, and judgements, suggesting you are not ok as you are, and also elitism saying that their way is the right way and yours isnt...its a huge world out there and where you are born determines predominantly what religion you choose.. cultural influences, parental directives etc... i think if its good for you do it, you obviously need that direction to help you obtain balance and feel ok about yourself, but that doesnt apply to everyone.. go in peace and leave others to find their own... we all have our paths to tred, and our footprints to make... and to feel loved and respected for who we are...
