I'm a Lutheran turned Atheist, and I know how you feel. I love that movie, as well as Jesus Christ Superstar (I wish I wasn't a girl--Judas has the best songs in existence), and Godspell (I was even in it). Listening to that music always gives me the sense of awe you're talking about.

I'm also a really weird Atheist. I make jokes about how God is punishing me for not believing he exists, or that he'll strike me down for saying some things. I guess I use my religious freedom very wildly. It's all for the laughs.

BUT MY POINT: you aren't alone. Faith is...fickle, I think. And it takes different things to stir it in different people. I know the emptiness of wanting it to be there once the music has stopped playing, but don't let it get you too down. All through Godspell, I kept thinking "This is how religion should be. This is how I felt as a kid. Why can't I feel it now?". It is just kid stuff for some of us, though. Blindly following and knowing rather than hoping that what we're being told is the truth.

Don't feel too bad, honey. It happens to the best of us. Nostalgia, me thinks. Nothing to be ashamed about.

Oh, and PS. Any Christians that may read this? This isn't an invitation for you to try and bring me back to faith. I'm not interested. At All. In fact, your trying will just reinforce my loathing for the religion. Keep your beliefs to yourself, where they should be. Thank you. In fact, have a man-love icon on the house ^^

You actually had some credibility until that last paragraph.

Eek, sorry. I just didn't want Faith!wank. Obviously my attempt at avoiding it fell flat on its face. Is it a bad thing that I don't want to have people tell me how I can save my life by 'refinding' a savior? Or that I find people doing so annoying and a breach of my personal rights to, you know, have my own opinion and keep it?

Then again, my wanting to keep my opinion seems to be bad in your opinion, so I guess I really can't complain if I don't want to be a hypocrite. Again, sorry to offend you or whatever that comment hinted at you being.

Your method of avoiding it was more along the lines of blatantly attempting to stir up said thing you were trying to avoid and in doing so made yourself seem stuck up.

In conclusion: Saying 'HEY NO ONE IN A PARTICULAR GROUP CONTEST MY OPINION BECAUSE YOU'RE STUPID' is not a good idea.

...I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way. I take it back. Really, I didn't want any wank. I don't know what you want me to do. I can't edit my original comment, and my reply wasn't meant to be a shove back in anyone's face. I meant to agree, but apparently you didn't see it that way. Sorry.

iawtc

Yeah, pretty much.

Amen. That's exactly how I feel. I admire religion and faith, but from afar. And listening to music like that or watching shows/movies like that always makes me think, "This is how religion should be. It's so inspiring and beautiful."

So yeah, I agree with everything you said, ignoring the last paragraph. I'd have to agree with the others that it made your whole argument fall flat on its face. It sounds too harsh. But I guess I can see where you're coming from as well.

Argument was good...until the last paragraph where you showed yourself as being more close-minded and ignorant than the 'Christians' you're jabbing at, although it's impressive to see someone completely and entirely annihilate their own argument and own respectability with a single, short paragraph.

Okay, people, I get it. I'm made of fail. Believe me, if I could, I'd edit that comment. It was stupid. Sorry for being dumb.

Whoa there now... As a Christian, I'll take the man-love icon and continue on my way without forcing my faith down your throat. I don't know when faith sharing became synonymous with bible thumping, but I'll gladly give the former rather than the latter. Discussion, I find, is more beneficial than telling you what to believe.

That said, I'm going to continue gnawing on your pretty man-love icon, drop some loving off for the OP of #18 ('cause Prince of Egypt is an awesome movie, regardless of faith), and go about my merry way~

Glad you like the icon, and thanks for not taking offense from my mistake. I do take back that PS.
