If you weren't an Atheist/Theist
#21
RE: If you weren't an Atheist/Theist
I already have what would be termed a spiritual side to my nature. I can be in awe at the beauty of a sunset, a galaxy, a smile on an infant's face. I can be moved to tears by a certain musical phrase, a painting, a piece of poetry. I just don't feel the need to dress it up in dogma and ritual, nor attach greater importance to it than any other part of my nature. It can colour the way I see things, certainly, but it's on a tight rein and it knows that.

However, if I had to pick some dogmatic outlet to represent my spirituality - I don't know; I've always had a connection with Bacchus, god of wine, I suppose (and his cousin Bilious, the Oh God of hangovers). So maybe colour me a Bacchanalian.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
