Hey, @gonzo, I really appreciate your stopping by and interacting here. And, to be fair, I will tell you that I've not yet read the Bhagavad Gita; can you recommend a good English translation? You've made me curious by describing it as a "how to guide" for the Bible. ;)
I am honestly interested in hearing what has influenced your thinking, but only what you might voluntarily want to share. I will state clearly that I have no fear of "losing my religion," because I don't really consider it "mine" to begin with; I see it more as a gift of faith from God, and my confidence about "keeping" anything lies much more with Him than with myself.
