More of the story....
So Dad became a huge Roman Catholic a few years back in honor of his mom.
I kinda left during that transistion.
Currently, Dad should be in a hospital and my mom wants to put him out of his misery. (He was in for kidney stones, he refuses to do anything the doctor orders including drinking water.)
Religion is faith. It is faith on what you believe. Sometimes it is great. Sometimes, not so much.
18 years ago in LA, there was a motor officer with LAPD that felt a major quake in LA. He knew there where injuries. He selfleshly hit the freeway interchange at the 18 freeway. He KNEW the road was there... It was not. He drove off the interchange to his death.
On the other hand, I have watched similar folks KNOW that in the same earthquake that noboby is alive... And then a dog yeps... And then someone is pulled from the rubble 5 days after the initial quake.
True religion is based on faith and trust. Folks, like myself, understand that our lives just go on. We don't take much time to think about end of life.
The thing that is interesting to me is one absolute fact... One that I know intensly. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Both athieists and the faithfull don't get that one.
I think I will go forward as a photon. (A very excited electron that bounces through the orbits and just keeps going)
