Sorry you have gotten bounced around on the bd re: this issue. It seems like any of these places (well, esp the religion bd) would be a good spot to talk about it. I have to think religion comes up over and over again in therapy so hopefully this will be an appropriate place to discuss it.
I thought you wrote that the book was called "The Source"? I haven't read it. How did it influence you (and Dinah) into becoming agnostic? Were you very religious before that? I find that coping with my mental illness has tested my faith...I wish it wasn't that way, that it would only strengthen my faith. There are times I try to pray when I'm depressed, but feel like I'm not strong enough then to see God. Does that make sense? This is all by way of saying that I too, miss believing in Something all-powerful, Something that will protect me and help me make my life better.
So, pls tell me more about your religious bkgd & what you're feeling about it now...
