HI NV - sorry to hear about the hurting.Anything we can do to help ?

HI Copilot ,haven't seen you around lately.glad to have you back.

RIMG - the whole idea is that faith is beyond touching or experementing.I would love to do a tarot reading for you.
I keep hearing Shepard Book - you don't fix faith ,it fixes you .

Traveler are you here ? Hello if you are

And to anyone else I forgot, I'm sorry, I slept late today & am all moonbrained from it.I'm off to the pub for brunch.

Hello LittleAlbatross29:

Was up late, so got up late. Taking me a while to get my focus. I suspect your little ones are wide awake and starting fresh adventures. I do not belong to a formal religion, but people have shown me what faith can accomplish. I am here today because of it. I do not know what the great plan is or how it work, just know that the God I believe in wants the best for me and asks me to do my best in return.

You are wise Traveler and speak truths !

my boys were up at 7, but their daddy let me sleep recognizing that I was about to implode.I woke up a little while ago.

I'm new and haven't posted on this thread before. Sounded interesting. Good topic - changing personalities and snow. I get the connection.

Over the past five years, I have become more wary and less accepting of the idea of faith - in religion. I used to think religion could be useful as far as helping the poor and making social change. Not being an organized religion person myself (for many years), it seemed that it could be helpful and mostly not harmful. But it seems people have formed "alliances" and dug into entrenched camps more than ever. It appears that fear and insecurity have created an atmosphere where religion is used to justify a point of view - again. Faith can't really be argued since it can't be proven. Thus, unless people agree to disagree it's impossible to move forward.

So, I guess I've become more cynical - sad to say. I try to live from my moral compass and allow others to do the same. I take action when it seems useful and necessary. Other times I try to look for alternatives. I believe there is a power that is unknowable and good (there's my faith!) not sure how involved in day-to-day events that power might be.

Welcome Siri , we're happy to have you join us.It is pretty quiet now,being the weekend but we usually pick up during the week.

I'm one of those that believe that faith is separate from religion ( for me at least ) .I have no love for any organized religions & think that they usually cause more problems than they solve.But I'm for whatever gives people comfort too.AS long as they don't try to convert me.

ME, I'm a solitary Pagan & do well all by my lonesome.Other people complicate things and then need organization.

Thanks for the welcome, LittleAlbatross. I have found this site very comforting - not sure why or how. I lean toward the pagan-persuasian myself, was involved with Reclaiming folks for a number of years but am more or less solitary - except for occasional seasonal gathering with a few friends. Do love winter solstice, especially outside in the cold at night - there's something about a crisp, clear wintery sky - kind of makes you think of our crew out there in the black - doesn't it?

I do love getting responses from fellow Browncoats, too, and look forward to checking in to see if "I've got mail."

Hello Siri:

Sounds like you have a good compass. I do not feel faith requires more than what stated you believe. What more can be asked of us than to follow what in our hearts.

I stay away from formal religions for the same reasons as you. It seems their message is more us against them.
