Because I do, essentially, deny Christ, and wonder if being in this state of denial, will lead me down paths I shouldn't explore. I mean, I already left Catholicism, soooooo.......

But that’s not a self-critique, that’s simply some nebulous angst.

Hmmm......well, either way, it's good to know that I might fuck up in the future, but only as a result of my own decisions. That makes it easier to bear the idea of something bad happening.

Steiner was a crackpot, and believed in shit like clairvoyance. His remarks about atheists, like this one, can be dismissed out of hand.
Nah, his ideas are pretty spot on. And clairvoyance is real, I've seen some weird shit.
