i doubt i'll ever be a deeply religious person, but there are certain people whose fervor inspires me (and many more that make me wish i were deaf). i've read the main religious texts, wrote my thesis on 'evolutionary psychology: the biology of belief', read every comparative religion text in the late 'great books'. i have neither right nor reason to feel important about any of that, i'm only noting that i'm not entirely ignorant on the subject. i'm an agnostic, not an athiest. what do i think jesus would do if he were alive today? he'd probably vomit. but, still, as much as she rambles, i love to hear janet speak about how she truly feels that she was saved by god. and i try, i try hard to recall a time before i thought of god as an imaginary friend for overgrown children.
