Initiation
To whom it may concern:
I am a first year student at the University of Western Ontario. I am in a
combined studies program and I am feeling very ostracized in my surroundings.
Many of the people who know me know me well enough to agree that I am the
Anti-Christ or Satan and any other sacrireligious pet name they have dreant up
for me.
I was born into a family of Hindu's and at an early age I was very much into my
religion but as time progessed and as things happened I found myself very
removed from any and all religions and God. Currently I am finding that
religion, any religion, has a tendancy to irritate me or maybe it is the way I
percieve religion and its followers to be. That is why I am writing to you.
After I saw your discussion group I thought I should get involved. I mean,
after all, I was a very Hindu at one time in my life and looking back I find
that those days were among the most peaceful for me. Maybe I am trying to
recapture a lost innocence or maybe a lost peace, I'm not sure. But I do know
that I would like to educate myself in the ways of the Hindu religion and its
people.
I am very much interested in your group and I would like to be initiated into
it as an active member. Mind you, I don't know very much about anything but I
am one of those people who has an opinion on everything. If my being without
God and religion in my life poses a problem or threat to the group I would
fully understand in not being acceppted into it.
I thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
Peace
AB
