religion... I haven't quite reached that level of bitterness yet, I guess. I've found that most well-constructed religions do have room for freethinking, if you can be convincing and interesting enough...and manage to live in a time where you won't get torn about by men in black robes if you say anything contrary. Hard to manage.
In any case, I generally treat religions as a form of fandom--infinitely interesting, but totally fictional. Keeps me from taking them too seriously.
The VMAT2 thing is quite interesting; I hadn't heard of it before. I love learning things from you.
