Cylon/dor/Angela:
Check out this book. It's a counterargument to Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life, but it really got me thinking about religion and the search for an answer. The author is an ex pastor turned athiest, but he still goes to church because he enjoys the pagentry and community. Really interesting stuff. You owe it to yourself to read this, because it really makes you think.

Angela: the whole "accept Jesus as your personal savior" thing is explained really well in that book. It's actually the evangelical Christians that use that all the time, not all Christians. There's also a fascinating history of how the modern concept of the devil came about.
