Quick one while he is at work......


I've become a lazy blogger sooner than I thought. My apologies. Actually I tried to send a mobile post yesterday, but ran into technical difficulties.
Those that know me, may or may not know that this devout agnostic at one point was a devout Catholic up until my early teens. I even had thoughts of joining the clergy if biological imperatives and hormones hadn't interfered. Therefore, Holy Week still holds some fascination to me. Back in the cat lick days I would prep all week for Good Friday. Good Friday was filled with thoughtful reflection and prayer in memory of Christ's suffering, with Easter Sunday being a sort of sugar tinged anti-climax. No really.
I was a poseur compared to some of the fateful. Normally I dismiss people who refuse to have some grasp on the notion that maybe they do not have all the answers to life. Yet I do feel pangs of envy when I see 'fanatical' people who have devoted their entire lives to an idea or any other abstract. That includes guys like our friends pictured.
Part of my transition from cat lick to agnostic was helped by Philip K. Dick's writing. A lot of his best writing was devoted to his analyzing events that transpired in his life on 2-3-74. Basically these events led him to question the reality he existed in. These writings helped me to question my faith in any manner I wanted. This led to the dissolution of my faith then to a sort of renewal in my current agnostic viewpoint. Currently I only have faith in the thought that there are things in this universe that the universe in my head will never be able to reconcile and that's ok.
Happy Easter.
