Great post. Honesty begets honesty I suppose, and that's the greatest thing anyone can give over an internet forum like this... Thanks for adding some more perspective on the issue. It's getting hard to really comment on it (I'm just finding I have less and less time!! After Christmas it should clear up) but your post really made me feel better. Made me feel better about myself, and in a way, better about the relationship I have with my friends. I make an effort to be non-judgemental with them for a lot of things, but if asked I'm not afraid to give my 2¢, and people tend to agree with me anyway. One of my friends has just given up on drink over the weekend. He wanted a heavier wallet, and I said sure, but when my dad quit drinking when he was in his early 30s, he said that it meant no more hangovers, so he felt much better, and he lost a lot of weight. My friend felt a bit more assured about his decision after that. As far as my relationship with God... Well, I'm still not really the super-pious person I used to be when I was a little kid. My mind just loves to question. I like religion in an intellectual sense, most religious tomes are great philosophical documents and provide a good window with which to view a culture. Yet, just the other day, I was flipping through a poem-of-the-day sort of book and came across Psalm 23 ("The Lord is my shepard, I shall not want") I almost cried while I read it, and I'm not entirely sure why. It's moments like those that just make me think there must be something... |
