What is your belief system now?
Well, I believe in the soul, ... the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, ... opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
For whatever reason I don't feel faith. I liken it to 'Blind Sight' where someone doesn't consciously visually perceive objects in their environment, yet can navigate a crowded room with ease. Or as in the case of one FReeper (I wish I could remember who) who lacks the sense of smell, yet can tell when, and enjoy, food that is properly spiced.
I had a situation at a counter protest in San Fransisco, right before the most recent Iraq war, where a cute little Pali protester got in my face and said, "And do you know what they called Israel in the Bible?" obviously trolling for me to say 'Palestine'. I heard these words come out of my mouth: "Yes, they called it the land that God Himself gave His chosen people, the Jews." She blanched, turned on her heel and left.
It would be very reasonable for me to say that the spirit of the Lord moved me to say those words, or even that He spoke through my mouth. That may even be the case. But I didn't feel it.
