I've had horror movies thrown at me and I just don't want to do any because violence isn't really good for society.

I did not want to reject religion as nonsense because life seemed to have no ultimate purpose without it, and most of the good people I knew were Christians.

Looking back, I wince at the careless way I tossed out my opinions.

I decided to take God and organized religion seriously, and to reject the secular life which in my teens had looked attractive because it allowed me to act in any way that I wanted.

Judaism is much more communal, and partly as a consequence of my religious switch, I am increasingly more suspicous of my previous view that what people do in the privacy of their own home is their business alone.

In my right-wing politics of the time, I held that unemployment was usually the fault of the unemployed.
