X, I have read this several times.

Do you mean to suggest you feel your life is not forlorn without religion? Have you the temerity to suggest your life is not pointless? To be fair you didn't actually suggest that, but could you, if you felt like it? Because I can and do.

I have to admit that I am not getting your point. Maybe I am having a senior episode. Or maybe it is the phrasings in the negative.

Well, as I just posted to Mitch, I am saying that for me life would be barren and forlorn without faith. "Faith" is quite a bit different from "religion." My life would not seem barren and forlorn without (a) religion, but it might seem more confounding. Without faith in a Deity, my life (now a happenstance accident of nature) would lack purpose and meaning.

I don't see any "temerity" in simply stating what is in one's heart (and I am not concluding that you meant to say that).
