I was once, a long time ago, headed to a career of a Protestant Preacher. Fruits of the Spirit, Jesus’ stance on Hypocrisy, whether or not Christians are called to do in this world, these are all topics on which I can pontificate on with assurance. The problem arises, too, in that I still preach. Perhaps it is to be expected… when the majority belief in your country is Christianity and, as a white male, averages would assume I am one, it is to be expected, but it doesn’t mean that I should play along. No one asks that question without assuming that you will tell them anything except some form of Christianity. Usually, if you were to ask me if I was religious, I will tell you that I am a Zen Atheist and that, every Sunday, I attend ‘Our Lady of the Mattress by the Springs.’ I don’t mean to be glib (actually, that is exactly what I mean), but the question is loaded with many assumptions that I hope to dispel.
