I don't consider the Christadelphians my people. There are many decent people who are Christadelphians but also some fanatical and intolerant people. Many people really enjoy their lives in this group as they are very family oriented and keep away from drugs, alcohol(except on Sunday meetings)...

If you're brought up with the idea of God or Gods it gets into your subconscious. I think it may be a bit like having a virus you can almost eliminate but if your mental immune system is weak from stress it comes back.
