I visited Lisa and Kyrstin's blogs, and they both said basically the same thing. This religion is way over our heads. We all seem to get that they believe that the universe is a stage and God is the director. We get that there is a clear definition between black and white, good and evil. Other than that, though, most of it was over our heads.
I thought it was funny when Kyrstin was talking about how you act in your past life determines your next life, she said you could end up being a king or a grasshopper. That made me laugh a little. I also liked that Lisa mentioned the Shakespeare quote in her entry. I didn't really think about it, but now that she mentioned it, it really applies well to this religion. I just think that this would take a lifetime of study to truly understand, which makes me perfectly content with the religion that I believe in.

I'd say you get intimidated easily? Just because a topic is challenging or thought provoking doesn't mean you should give up or throw up your arms. Some kids said listening to it more than once kind of helped them understand it more. As an honors student, I expect you to be able to tackle a complex concept without becoming daunted so easily.
Being content in your own religion is good too. Nobody is trying to be converted here. Sometimes studying about "other" religions helps you to understand your own that much better.
