I still have trouble with saying grace....it is like I don't have trouble being thankful (I'm thankful all the time) - but I have trouble thanking an "entity" who seems to have blessed me at the expense of others. That was why sitting in a circle felt right...contemplative...grateful.Carol Pavliskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368979644107669048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777572921251253526.post-4740525765579590822009-11-30T12:10:10.492-08:002009-11-30T12:10:10.492-08:00I used to think the same thing about religion. Now...I used to think the same thing about religion. Now I don't. I think we would have wars even without religion. I think religious groups are often easier to manipulate into war...that people are more fearful/reactionary when it comes to religion. I also believe without religion..humankind would still find reasons to divide. At it's best, though, religion should help individuals find the balance between a deep contemplative life and outreach/social action with the help (not pressure..which unfortunately happens all to often) of others. Does this always happen? Of course not..but that is the ideal. However, all said. I remember several times as a kid wondering why I was thankful for something that someone else didn't have. Remember..it's not an either/or.I'm a firm believer in both/and If you don't have..others still may not have...something to do with luck/free-will..and all that other stuff.

I do think that without religion we'd have less world hunger because we'd have fewer wars and strife. But without faith? No. Because it is different (although sometimes it coexists with religion). Faith is elusive for me - for whatever reason. But as far as hunger goes - saying grace the way I'd been taught culturally, never came close to representing what it was that I actually wanted to say and what I felt.Carol Pavliskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368979644107669048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777572921251253526.post-64870737016772756952009-11-30T07:34:51.024-08:002009-11-30T07:34:51.024-08:00Great post.
