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.

No. Jazz is a state of mind.

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...
