Which we all need to do, but some of us are so muddled and find it hard to think clearly that the path to enlightenment of whatever nature is tougher than it looks or tougher than people imagine. Of course it is easy to get misled, and boy does that happen to many of us... Your priest friend who speaks vehemently of traitors; your other priest friends who have been brave enough to step away from the paths everyone thinks they ought to pursue; and other friends who struggle through it all... Am I a Catholic? Should I continue in my state of life? It's not a snap decision, but I do hope your blog continues to challenge its readers to the truth, to challenge its readers to look inwards and examine, to stop and think...<BR/><BR/>yours hoping to go on reading more,<BR/><BR/>fan xxxxxxxxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33689950.post-81214266646629216602007-03-31T23:10:00.000+01:002007-03-31T23:10:00.000+01:00Thank you, she'enedra.

But you've made a huge error in your comment:<BR/><BR/>"I think I'm probably worth a lot more now that I have become an apostate."<BR/><BR/>To quote a favourite (sorry) Christian song:<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I look above me when stars are shining<BR/>And I feel so small;<BR/>How could the God of heaven and all creation know I'm here at all.<BR/>But then in silence He whispers,<BR/>"My child, I created you too.<BR/>And you're my most precious creation..."<BR/><BR/>You always have been.

I think I'm probably worth a lot more now that I have become an apostate. As a Catholic, I was a fraud. As a Jew, I am finally honest.<BR/><BR/>It was you who helped me reach that point of honesty, a year ago. Thank you for that, and thank you for sharing this now.<BR/><BR/>God bless you, she'enedra.<BR/><BR/>Ari.xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
