As far as religious influence, one of my personal goals is to work toward becoming a better Catholic (going to mass, etc) so I have no qualms about religion.
Glad to hear it, Dap. If you find yourself in Throggs Neck, stop by Saint Benedict's .
What a coincidence, I used to go to Saint Benedict's until about the age of 12 before I moved to another part of the Bronx. It is a beautiful church.
