I remember years ago hearing about a study that showed being active in your religion was good for your health. It didn't matter what religion, just that you had one that you were somewhat active in. They attributed this to having a community that you belonged to for support and a sense of self.
I'd describe myself as an agnostic. So what group do I join in order to create a sense of community? "The group going to the bar" doesn't count. I'd almost start going to a church if it wouldn't be the overwhelming feeling of hypocrisy.
Go to Canadian Tire, that's my religion. Good hours, decent specials, awesome return/exchange policy, 100% Canadian brewed, and they have their own currency.
ReplyDeleteUntil recently I was the only known member of the congregation, but I noticed that another person has joined on Facebook.
