Absolutely! The 9rules Religion Community is bigger than any singular, specific religious belief. The point of the community is the conversation. One need not be a Christian to participate. Christians are absolutely welcome, but devotion is not a requirement. I am a Unitarian Universalist and lean more toward a humanistic understanding of religion and religious expression. I, much like you, don’t believe that any one religion is THE right or only religion; I believe all religion ultimately lead to the same place, or flow into the same human stream. So, your not alone! Feel absolutely welcome and do participate as often as you can! Your homily is beautiful. Well written! Awesome …

Much peace …

I didn’t know it was a plugin you were using for the footnotes. What’s its name?

I’ve wanted to do footnotes for awhile, but this is the first plugin that worked really easy right out of the box. Footnotes are handy because I tend to go off-topic a lot, and this way I can still say what I want, but not ruin the flow of what I was trying to get across.

I’m glad something I wrote struck a chord! I was afraid I was rambling on too much, but then again, I tend to do that with everything

Thank you for encouraging me to participate. I never would have done it without you.

Second, I’m so glad you decided to participate! You write like you talk, or at least, how I image you talk. I like this line: “…because they both love me in different ways, they see me in different ways, and so the beauty that each of them sees is unique to them.” That struck a chord with me. It’s difficult to explain exactly what chord it struck, but I know that as I read that it made me feel something.

Great post!
