I like to read science fiction and fantasy. I recently read something in a book by Terry Pratchet. His character, Granny Weatherwax, has some comments on religion and faith that she makes to a priest of religion that had an inquisitorial nature in the past. I thought they were pretty interesting words, so I will share them with you. Let me know what you think :).
"You say that you people don't burn folk and sacrifice people anymore, but that's what true faith would mean, Y'see? Sacrificin' your own life, one day at a time, to the flame, declaring the truth of it, working for it, breathin' the soul of it. That's religion. Anything else is just ... is just bein' nice and a way of keepin' in touch with the neighbors. (...) Don't chase faith, 'cos you'll never catch it. But, perhaps you can live faithfully." Carpe Jugulum Pg. 349
I hope you had a great Sunday and were able to worship the Lord with a glad and sincere heart! Keep praying for rain for Turkana!
