I also listened to that Terri Gross interview. I thought that the Chaplain was a really interesting guy. He gave such thoughtful and at times unexpected responses to her questions. Made me wanna find out more about him than the half hour excerpt from the program.
Elizabeth, I just want to tell you that it really means a lot to me reading your posts on your ongoing spiritual quest. I think that you are doing what we all *should* be doing--striving daily in a concerted and dedicated and intellectual way to discover how you can integrate faith and belief into your daily life. In many ways I think this search is more important than finding any definitive answer.
I feel spiritually bereft. This is in most ways my own damn fault. You inspire me to think in new ways and to examine myself and my beliefs. You also challenge me with your self-honesty and self-awareness.
