To Church or Not to Church
I
don’t go
to church. I don’t like sermons. They drive me crazy. I like singing,
and I
don’t mind praying, but I don’t have to go to church for either. I
probably
should be a little more specific. I don’t like Sunday morning church.
Not even on Christmas. I don't like the hypocrites who only go on
Christmas. But I do
like some churches. There are some where I get a sense of the divine,
where the
sacred is obviously present. There are other places where I get that
same
feeling, like the ocean, Mt. Shasta, Mt. Rainier, Aztec temples,
Stonehenge,
the pyramids. I think it is good to visit and partake of sacred sites.
I’d love
to go to the Chartres Cathedral, Notre Dame de Paris, the Sistine
Chapel,
Canterbury Cathedral. I just don’t need the sermons that go along with
them. I
got enough hangups the way it is, I don’t need someone telling me I’m a
sinner.
I can figure that out on my own.
