*Ahem*, that's, True Christian™
Or is it, 'Troo Christian™' ?

Christians lose religion all the time. Atheists find religion all the time. Even if this guy weren't simply trying to do some kind of publicity stunt, I don't see what anyone thinks is of note in this story.
Yeah, I know they could. I've been through essentially the entire spectrum, and there have been times when I was within a very thin shred of saying eff it all, but then something would happen to bring me back to myself. Maybe it's because I'm not expecting, nor wanting anything from God, but that it is just a way of being for me. God isn't something that I can ever be without, because I'm a part of it.
panentheism is how you describe your belief ,lizzie
:lol:I just call it Lizism. :lol:
:lol:
l understand but you are a panentheist :2razz:
I I think people would be surprised just how many atheists there are in the clergy.
Well, not really. At least not strictly. I don't really identify God with the universe, but more along the lines of the essence of action and movement.
We need a vague god concept to explain action and movement? Why?
Who said WE need anything at all?
Ok, why do you need it? Or is it just a vague concept with no basis in reality?
It's just something that I enjoy, and am interested in pursuing, and it's really just as simple as that. It add another dimension to my life that I love. No ulterior motives, and no neuroses- just a part of life that is meaningful to me.

Since you don't push it on others, that's good enough a reason for me. If it makes you happy, it can't be half bad.
