Custard, usually. I find the Shoes Of The Fisherman can hold about a pint and a half.

Oh, wait - you meant what do I replace religion with. Ummmm..........Nope, still custard.

I just hope that isn't a euphemism for what Ham calls his mayo. *Gross mental image be gone!*

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Not even saying religion is good but it fills a void. It provides a community, a purpose larger than yourself.

I don't agree with all the Catholic Church teaches, but I do enjoy mass at some level and the social event it provides.

What do you fill an absence of religion with? Atheism itself does not seem enough

I felt no void. On the contrary, I felt liberated.

Why do you assume your experiences are universal?

I've never felt a strong need to hang out with a large group of people -- I've always been more inclined to have a handful of friends, and am comfortable being on my own for long periods of time, so "community" was never a major selling point for religion.

I get plenty of socializing and probably the essence of my life purpose from studying music and playing in community concert bands several times a week.

Just like Christianity is a personal relationship with god, right?

Well . . .

The Jewish God Jehovah anyhow. 


If you're a Jew.


And believe in the Jewish prophecy recorded in Jewish scripture given to the Jews.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

No void here. My days are full of meaning and purpose. Actually, I could use a vacation .

There's a void?
Really...?
I must have blinked and missed it...
