Or in church either. Or in my life. Or, for that matter, not even in the rust on the underside of my Dodge.
But I do envy people their faith. It must be nice to be able to blame some other personality for you problems. "It's not my fault, Goddidit."
But me, I have to take the blame for my mistakes. Chris works in personally responsible ways.
After much sole searching (I realized I stepped in something) it occurred to me that either: IF there is an after life, this life doesn't matter. OR there is NO afterlife, and so this life will NOT be judged. Either way, we have to live within a society of others. We have to live together. In short, like in EVERY religion in the world, Live by the Golden Rule.
And so I entered "Athiest" to balance all of the "Born Againness" that would be following. It would have been easier to stand mute. But I thought somebody ought to treat others "In a Christian Manner".
