Then what am I to make of myself, JoB?? I was raised by generations of Catholics, some of whom were clergy/nuns who spent much time trying to describe why they believed in something I couldn’t.
That’s not to say I didn’t have important experiences that created a seemingly intense connectedness – for lack of a better word – to other people and the physical and potentially metaphysical world. Those experiences seemingly approximated what my relatives described about their religious enlightenments. Just that in me, it didn’t manifest in a desire to connect that experience to anything more than some very cool biochemical reactions in the higher mammalian brain.
Believe me…I’ve swum. ;-)
