I was sitting in church wondering how many people actually believed. This is something that has plagued me over the years....w­hen I was Catholic, agnostic, now presumably Episcopali­an.....Do people TRULY believe? Do they go every Sunday out of habit?

Richard Dawkins opened my eyes to the world of evolutionary biology, the selfish gene, and memetic theory. Was God truly a delusion? Who knows? I thought that for awhile, but now it seems like the empty void just keeps getting "emptier".­...

There's got to be middle ground for us who are not sold on the idea of virgin birth, resurrection, etc. I'm not saying I am an atheist or anything, just a 'questioner'. Atheism is fine for those who prescribe to it. So is Islam. So is Hinduism. So is the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I don't care what faith (or lack there of) anyone holds on to as long as they don't hurt anyone or forcefully convert people.

But anyway, back to my observation. I was literally staring at people today trying to figure out why they were sitting in the pews. I'm sure most were there for the right reasons. Maybe 'right' is not the right word to use. Maybe I'm being confusing, but religion is inherently confusing. Right?

So why are these people coming every week? Why am I? I guess we all have the same motives down deep. We're just trying to figure it all out.

Right? Maybe not?

I care about religion..

only because it seems to be a common affliction.

Otherwise? I have no time for the big daddy in the sky delusion.
