Collette Livermore responds... (Main Forum)

I think there is a fine line between doubt and faith, between believer and non believer and all we can do as Rilke says is sit with the questions, be honest andcourageous and speak the truth as
we perceive it.

I couldn't agree more. There are so many mysterious things about our existence and the world around us. And if people create stories, myths, religions, whatever you want to call them, in an attempt to explain these mysteries, they can hardly be blamed. My personal preference however is to just accept the mysteries that I see and experience every day without trying to graft on other mysteries in an attempt to explain these obvious ones. That effort seems to me to create more problems than it solves.

I always thought that the response that Michael Pallin once gave in a radio interview on where he stood with God and religion was not only funny, but like a lot of good humor, quite profound, "I am an agnostic, with doubts."
