Re: Believing in God makes you a better person
My belief in god and return to religion came about accidentally, when I nonchalantly decided to pray and see if there wou'd be any effect. I wasn't expecting anything, and certainly had no desire to return to Mormonism. But the presence of God or the Holly Spirit or whatever the hell it was became so potent that I felt it as a kind of spiritual assault, and it was so real that I simply couldn't be hypocrite enough to deny the experience. But it hasn't made me a better person--I'm still a wanker and a goon.
"We work in the dark -- we do what we can -- we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art."
--Henry James (1843-1916)
