Re-inspired to Write
I know I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus. I am back, and ready to write more frequently. I just stumbled upon a blog, Unreasonable Faith, and have enjoyed scratching the surface of it. The person writing it has a very similar background as mine, and it is a refreshing blog that has well thought out writings. It’s like reading a copy of ‘Skeptic’ that is solely focused on questioning all that religion has taught him.
One of my favorite posts on the site is about interpretting what a Christian is saying and what an acceptable and unacceptable response is. I have said, and heard, every single one of these phrases. One of my favorites is asking people for prayer requests. Even when I was knee deep in my church going ways, I always viewed this as a strange ritual that I always felt served as the ‘church tabloid’. I always hated coming up with a prayer request and would usually come up with some mundane request.
I look forward to exploring the path of leaving religion and the church behind. It’s a path I’ll always be on, and one that still has it’s rocky times (the guilt is something that still creeps up frequently).
I will question, point out things that drive me crazy about the world I left behind, and will explore the real emotion that I and others have about leaving behind something that was such a big part of life at one time.
I hope you will join me for the ride and will interact with I and others who visit.
