Religion: There's Hope

We at Casa de Los Gatos are, and mostly have been, of the opinion that organized religion is A Bad Thing. Some of us believe that there is a deep need - possibly hardwired - for spiritual nourishment, and how people choose to satisfy that need is their own business.

It's when people purport to have The Only Truth and try to ram it down everyone else's throat that they get on the bad side of Los Gatos. So it's a relief to us to hear that more people are beginning to feel that way.

Admittedly, the survey is of the "unchurched," whatever THAT means. Unmosqued? Untempled? Pah. We larf at your labels.

We would also like to take this opportunity to say that nobody needs god-botherers to intercede between them and whatever great mystery lies outside our ken. It is up to each of us to search for something that gives meaning to life, or not, as we choose.

As for religion, per se - it makes you insane.

Stumble It!
