I don’t believe in organised religion (where man says ‘he’s telling you X & Y) but when I see and experience believers it truly uplifts me and makes me really content.
I’ve been an atheist since being a kid, but love huge, positive shared experiences.
Quaker meetings get me the same way, as did a trip to Lourdes.
Love a good choir service too and poking around old churches etc.
Through my job, I’ve met some absolutely horrible, manipulative, people who use religion as a means to exploit the vulnerable.
This one seemed pretty much the opposite.
Good gigs, bad gigs.
I went to a kids party once where Santa turned up – they too were excited and they all seemed to really love the whole experience.
They even believed in Santa.
Did you enjoy it too?
I love Christmas, as do most non Christians I know.
I reckon I’ll be able to have fun without having to analyse it too much.
Will you go back, or as your comment above mentioned, only if you get paid for it?
Good question.
🙂
I’d take a friend if they wanted to go and needed assistance, but not on my own.
I don’t need the religious element.
