Why do I continue to post these links? Because I agree with Bill Maher that there are no great religions. All religions are stupid and dangerous. All should be criticized. But there is another thing of interest esp in this video about the pastors year without god. He discovered that it didnt really make any difference in his daily life. He always was a caring person, and he has remained a caring person. For me, way back when I was 14, at first there was a marvelous difference -- just not going to church and not going to confession, which I esp hated, felt so liberating. For him, there was a loss involved -- the set of neat explanations, the theological theory of everything, was gone. Later it was just life as usual. And now if I became a Unitarian, say (thinking of the least offense Christian denomination), that would likewise not make any real difference. Id miss god if hes ever had been presented to me as a being with whom one can have a meaningful conversation, and not with me on my knees either, or prostrating myself like Job before might makes right -- but the way best friends can talk.
