Who knew that Richard Nixon and I had something in common, besides the nickname "Tricky Dick"?

What's weird is I was raised Baptist, but I really don't agree with a lot of the dogma they put on you. I'm not a big fan of dogma in any form, though.

I actually do sympathize with the ULC's point of view: your religion is your business, and try to do what's right.

That's it. Simple, right?
