Sometimes I wish I could believe in a god of something. There is a character in my favorite book series (The Dresden Files) who is a Knight of the Cross. He carries a sword that has a nail from the crusifiction worked into the steel. He and his two brethren are the fist of God on earth.
The way he takes comfort, and the way he is so sure and certain of his place in the world because of his faith is beautiful and inspiring.
Unfortunately for me, faith in a magic old guy who lives in the clouds that grants wishes is a no-go. Not to mention paying lip service to hypocritical, small minded, jack asses in the church is also a big fat non-starter.
Do you ever wish you could have faith in something? Humanity, even though it is pretty screwed up sometimes, still gives me real hope. But sometimes I feel a little empty.
Thoughts?
