scmasse's, your comment is not applicable to me - because I was an adult convert. I didn't do so blindly. That's why I'm different. It's been 18 years now, several hard knocks in the school of life but my anchor holds in every storms of life, on the wings of a prayer. My strength is internal, God within me. Also another theological concept - cannot be elucidated further here.
It's funny you say that "It's fear, plain and simple. Fear is what drives religion...all of them."
If only people understood. Actually, we're called not to fear. Yes, being humans, we fear and talk about it but find our strength to be bold - not immediately, takes some praying. I came to Qatar without knowing a single person. No one in my company AT ALL. I've done pretty well but not on my own doing but God with me. I have failed many times in many things and will continue to fail many times but God is the only one who sustains me. Come what may, I will survive (or die and go to happy hunting ground)
No further comment cos I don't have time. Goodbye thread.
