Re: Crisis of faith-iness

[a_potato]

Belief in a higher power and belief in a religion are two separate things. The two often go hand-in-hand, but it's not necessary that they do.

"God" doesn't have to mean "the Christian God." There are tons of ways to conceptualize the divine, and tons of ways to express faith, and many don't involve public proclamations at all. Sometimes, faith is quiet, and so deeply personal that no one knows about it but you. There's nothing wrong with that, and it certainly isn't lacking in meaning. When it comes to spirituality, its meaning comes from the impact that it has on your life, even if that impact is small and private.

You might want to try exploring different religions, mythologies, and philosophies. Maybe something will speak to you, and maybe nothing will. But I think seeing the breadth of spiritual experience out there might give you an appreciation for the idea that there isn't one right way to connect with or have faith in a higher power, and might make you feel better about not having certain religious feelings. Either way, like I said, religious feelings and faith aren't the same, and there's nothing odd about having faith without religion.
