I'm so glad, because it seems like several of us have been fairly absent as of late.<br /><br />LikeAChild, <br />I'm so glad you've found a therapist you find helpful. I've been thinking of you and hoping that you'd found someone good. I'm doubly glad you've found some new friends as well.DoOrDoNothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15775977854913362396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767755611010523671.post-5410014758206158132011-04-07T07:40:41.649-06:002011-04-07T07:40:41.649-06:00I've also touched upon this somewhere in my bl...I've also touched upon this somewhere in my blog about how scientists just suddenly come up with an idea. Now that I feel I've been to atheism and back, I definitely feel there's something more to spirituality that you have to read between the lines to feel. When your trust is broken by fundamentalism, you loose that sense of intuition that needs to be rebuilt. I've been mulling over CS' Lewis quote "Now that I am a Christian I do have moods in which the whole thing looks improbable: but when I was an atheist [agnostic] I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable [quote altered]." – Mere Christianity, and I feel after years of being in the former camp, I'm now in the latter, and it feels good to appreciate Christianity as if I was starting over. <br /><br />On a sidenote, I did find a therapist recommended by an Emerging church pastor who specializes in church abuse. Without meds and after two sessions, I do feel better and I'm actually quite perplexed at this as a rational thinker. What has also been helpful is to find new friends that I don't feel like I need to hide the doubts, as well as the support now from my husband and from my parents, amazingly.Like a Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991265512226039592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767755611010523671.post-84717639151614565862011-04-07T04:08:07.945-06:002011-04-07T04:08:07.945-06:00Thank you for this post.

That some people are a bit more "romantic" or mystical in their thinking and some people are more pragmatic. Neither way is superior to the other. I find that I'm a mixed bag of both, leaning more the the side of pragmatic. I believe it takes both kinds of thinkers to turn the world. Maybe I'll pick this book up and read it myself.<br /><br />P.S. Welcome back, you've been missed!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313118060838041133noreply@blogger.com
