A new appreciation for religion
I had to miss a carol service in a beautiful village church last night because of a stomach bug. I find now that I've acknowledged to myself that I don't believe in a deity, I can appreciate the by-products of religion such as its architecture and music much more. Now I don't pay any attention to what the vicar says, musing instead about if I need more milk at the supermarket or if I've washed that shirt I need to wear to work the next day. I know in this respect I am only catching up with the rest of the world who have never listened to what a man of the cloth says.

Perhaps your religion is denial. But to deny conventional organized religion, and to acknowledge that you are not your creator, seems to me to leave a void.
What to do; live with the void or discover the creator experiencially, from within. A daunting task either way, I think.
very profound, thanks!
