Wow, I thought this thread dead and buried, but it has shoved a decaying finger up through the turf!
I appreciate the concern apparent in your post, Rapha, so thanks...
and admit I even did as you suggested, since 10 seconds of recitation seems a small price to pay to see if I'm infested with infernal spirits... but
nope, no reaction ...beyond feeling a wee bit silly with my usual benign bemusement regarding most religion, anyway... but no jarring revulsion (or
even subtle dissonance) was apparent.
My own views on spirits are complex and evolving. I've had enough experiences to know some things we call 'spirits' exist in some manner, and,
besides this thread's topic, had a curious episode where it seemed a dead guy was giving me his (awful) tastes when I lived in his old house, but I am
puzzled that anyone in a still living meat suit thinks they've figured it all out ... though I guess that's where faith comes in, right?
But thanks for the suggestion and I feel less ... er, infectious, now.
