Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious by David Dark
4.0
David Dark eloquently makes the case for how we're never not religious. Some favorite excerpts from the book:
"As I see the bad religion situation, the answer isn't a matter of stepping out and starting new traditions so much a it's a matter of approaching the currents we're already in from a different angle, one person, one relationship at a time."
Question of our lives: "What are the movements, the ancestral lines, within and along which we'd like, or hope, to find our own lives in deep continuity?"
"Here's hoping that our neuroses might also be, in some deep sense, our wisdom." Indeed.
