What he said

“Lord, remember me now as I enter into your Kingdom, for I was a member in good standing of a church that said some very nice things about you.”

The article was written by Gordon Atkinson (whose alter-ego Real Live Preacher may be better-known to some of you), and it about sums up a good deal of what I've been thinking about concerning my religion. Actually, for a Baptist priest, he certainly seems to echo a heck of a lot of what's going on in my head lately.

There's something very reassuring about him. It's nice to know that someone else out there also doesn't have all the answers, someone who's spent a lot more time than I have looking for them.

You have an extraneous double quote at the end of the link URL, sweetheart.

Shall fix the html. Thanks for the heads-up.

I wish more people would admit they don't have all the answers. To anything, not just religion. No one has all the answers.

When I was in journalism school, one of the sample interviews we listened to was with a Catholic Bishop. We were listening for the interview technique, of course -- the interviewer was asking the questions his five-year-old son would ask about God. In particular, I remember when the interviewer asked "why do bad things happen to good people?", the Bishop said "I don't know."
