Hi Maya
That's an ace introductory thread - a great way to enter the forum....reading that made me smile throughout (there really are some funny b**t***s on this forum).
By being immune from the whole religious experiece during childhood, you proved from an early age that you were made from the right stuff, . I was completely into Islam when was a kid, so I have experienced that elusive thing that you've missed out on. From what I remember, I spent more time being afraid of Allah and what he had in store for me than gaining any comfort from the fact that there was someone bigger out there looking after all of us, making sure that our loved ones had a comfortable retirement when they died....so I guess, from my experience at least, you've done well never to have gone there.
Reading this thread has given me the idea to trawl through a many of these introductory threads as possble. I guess that'll be the best way for me to get to know people on here and to hear some of their stories...
Before I go, an update on my son: he has cried very little over the last few days and the operation has not dampened his spirit or affected his smile. My parents say that they cannot remember anyone taking circumcision so much in their stride before...so, try not to worry too much when it comes to the turn of your grandkids.
