When you put them together, you realize that there is no problem.

Looking back through the mists of time, I recall some distinctly religious experiences in my teens--when I was only fourteen years old to be precise. These experiences opened my mind to the idea of a Creator and that caring for other living things was a Christian duty.

In the same year, I became a vegetarian, which--for family and friends--was even more vexing.
