Yes, isn’t this an interesting thread. During my teenage years, which is often when you question and try many things, religion included, I went to a few different churches, but didn’t feel at home anywhere. I forgot all about the spiritual side of life until my own children were born, then spent some time at the local church, my children went to Sunday school, but still I found it hard to believe in an actual God, a supreme being, and the busyness of life with four small children took over.
I’ve read with interest the description of humanism, which is, I’m sure, the caring lifestyle that most people aspire to. It doesn’t require the existence of a God.
I think BlueBelle puts it well, that the routes are achievable but the place seems unrealistic without the Leap of Faith. That Leap eludes me. I wish it didn’t.
