Yeah, been a convert for-- gosh-- 17 years. I grew up Southern Baptist and Pentecostal/ non denominational, though. So I sometime take things with a huge grain of salt and form my own conclusions; also know more quotes verbatim and where to find other things than most cradle Catholics I know. Though I tend to recite the King James version I heard so much as a kid.

And I've been a working musician pretty much all of that time, so I've seen more "behind the scenes" hypocritical behavior than most-- another thing that makes one a little cynical and jaded at times. But the only time I feel God at all these days is through music, so I'm thinking it would be a Bad Thing to give that up.
