UPDATE, 7/26/03: Got a response right away, and, as with most of the others, it's from a secular Jew wanting to know why I converted. (Apparently, none of the Christian-born agnostics or atheists care.) As mentioned before, I don't feel obligated to give a reason for my faith if the respondent's only real interest is in trying to pick me up, so I used the handy "block" button to prevent his contacting me again. Here's what he wrote:

I find you beautiful. Your face. Your mind. You know so much about the music of my generation. So should I join the religion that is resposnsible for so much murder, persecution, and is led by pedifiles and insipid evangelists? Please tell what makes a beautiful woman betray her people and culture?
