<edited; /> So much beauty when discussing personal beliefs, starting with Meryl’s declaration of I am a Jew, followed by thoughtful comments by Elaine, Steve, Mike Golby, and AKMA, tied together with another question posed to the Collective by Mike Sanders.
Belief. Religion.
When asked my religion I tell people that I belong to a religion that is tolerant, open, has a sense of humor and perspective about itself, never suppresses others, lives each day in the same spirit of celebration as every other day, practices respect rather than hymns, and focuses on doing good to others regardless of their beliefs.
I then slip away quietly as they are left to ponder what obscure cult I could possibly belong to.
