May I play the prodigal one? will you lay feast for my return or turn me aside once more For I am in desperate need of illusions self responsibility a path too hard to take Take wafer to bitten tongue inebriation of thought by chalice wine I hunger and thirst for more than truths They leave void in belly sober my thoughts and I need a little white lie to help me sleep again For I am in desperate need of illusions self responsibility a path too hard to take ____________________________________________________ There is no intention to offend, I know there are those with strong beliefs here. I admire and respect your faith and am truly happy that you find solace in it. And I hope you can respect my lack of it. There's no returning home for this one and truly? I never would. It's not the faith I miss but the comfort of laying some of the weight on someone else. [This message has been edited by Aenimal (03-22-2003 06:24 PM).] |

I once called myself an athiest, and then called myself weak for it, now I dont care what I am, as long as there is something bigger.Because if I am the strongest thing I know...............God help us. Jason |

Very impressive, dear Raffaele. Self responsibility a path too hard to take ... yes you say it, it is not easy. We all hunger and thirst for more than truth .... for love May you find what you need. Un abbraccio Margherita |

A thoughtful post... I miss the ideals, personally... Used to have so many of them. Now it's just ordeals that surround me... -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

I can't say that I'm fully atheist, I'd say I'm a p***ed off agnostic. There's something that combines but i shy from putting a label on it Margherita Un abbracio, very kind to say and I truly hope you find all that you wish for also Mark well said I too am surrounded by ordeals |

It has always been my belief, that one can be a spiritual being, loving a G-d, and being loved in return, without the Sunday morning fashion show. "The shortest distance between two points is.....sometimes intolerable" |

nice piece. your edge is very cool. too many people try to get it - you seem natural. about your faith, or rather lack thereof, i get you completely. but I am a physicist and believe me, the more you understand of the universe the more you see the order and the beauty, and then all of a sudden you realize you are thinking it couldn't all be coincidence. you know why? because as a scientist you don't believe in coincidence. i just go to sleep to prevent the thoughts - to time wasting  .-majnu |

Thanks Ed and I agree with both this and your comment in insights Majnu I feel the same, the deeper I delved the less random things seem if that makes sense..thanks for the compliment |
