So, a little lady, and you know who you are, made me reflect upon this whole evil - good - human thing. Can I remain good yet study evil? Will my studies eventually seduce me towards evil? The whole world is darkening. The devil is everywhere, and only in such dismal hallows as church does God seem to exist.
Yet I go outside. I walk towards the bay. I see the trees and sky. Is this not God? Is not every person I see God? If we are all created in his image, then every person you meet is God.
I don't know, I can just hope. For all I know, I'll grow old an grey waiting for the apocalypse like every disciple of Christ did.
The Romans are here. They aren't going anyplace. Satan exists, just listen to the news. He isn't in an ancient book. He's alive and well everywhere you look.
So what do I do? Just try and make it through the day. Live my life like I wish everybody else would. That's all I can do. If it isn't enough, well, hey, I went down fighting.

On the other hand, I grew up Catholic, and I used to like going to mass, for me it was like a meditation. However, I have a hard time reconciling the fact that such awful things have happened, especially regarding molestation, I can't reconcile that with attending. And ultimately any religion I've ever looked into/participated in has led me away from itself, if that makes any sense. Which seems to me to be the point, not the religion, but God and living?
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
