Ok, here is something about me, and it somehow feels embarrassing to say, but I think the conversation is returning to earnestness again, so here goes. I grew up attending a United Church every Sunday, where the dogma is relatively chill, and things like questioning the age of the earth were acceptable. But still, the Bible stories were the cornerstone of it. My family said grace before dinner each night, but the wrath of God wasn’t used a cudgel. More New Testament than old. Sometime in high school I became an atheist, and that felt freeing. But at some point something flipped. Eventually I came to feel like something was taken from me. I can’t go back now. There’s no point pretending that Santa Claus is real. But that doesn’t mean the belief itself is without value.
