Quoted By:
I would like to think of myself as agnostic, but I guess I do believe in a god.
One book Chris never stole was the Bible. "I can’t claim a belief system," he said. He celebrated no holidays. He meditated now and then but did not pray.
With one exception. When the worst of a Maine winter struck, all rules were suspended. "Once you get below negative twenty, you purposely don’t think," he told me. His eyes went wide and fearful from the memory. "That’s when you do have religion. You do pray. You pray for warmth."
-From the north pond hermit
I prayed when I was deployed, I prayed when I was cold and wet and 200 miles from any other humans, I pray when I go to powerlifitng meets, debates, footraces, and any other sort of competition.
I just need to find out what I pray too.
Odds are, there is something out there. The world is too beautiful to be a coincidence.
