I have lost my faith.

I started losing my faith in 2000-2001, and have progressively lost more faith since. The death of the American dream took place on November 2, 2004. I wonder if there is a God. I wonder if there are any good Christians or other religious people out there. I cannot believe what humanity and Americans are turning into. I don't know why people let things get so bad. I used to believe that people (even Evangelicals) had sensibility, but I don't believe that anybody does anymore. Anyway, here is a song that describes my feelings at the moment.

Lost My Faith
Seal
(Human Being)

We both know
That the harder we try
Can't understand it
We're so caught up in the reasons why
Station to station
And we couldn't even say their names
I realized it
Was just a game
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I can see
That if I stay close to your side
All of my pressures now
I know they will subside
If ever you need me
All you gotta do is fall
I hear you sayin'
That you got it all
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I had lost my faith
Long ago
A stranger so it seems
I lie here for you touch
But what I'd like to know
Is why do I want you so much
You say that's all the same
All through my life
I have
Waited for you
And
Have you waited too
are you feeling what I'm feeling
Ohhhh.... I
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I had lost my faith long ago
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I lost my faith
I lost my faith
I lost my faith
Ohh love

I'm off right now to drink my sorrows away. Been doing that a lot lately. There doesn't seem to be a point in anything else.

They opposed the war, support gays in the clergy and go out of their way to do works of good for others. I have no conflict between my faith and being a pro-choice Democrat.

These people running the Right are not Christians, but there are lots out there. Even if you have lost your faith, you're OK by me. It's not something to be forced on you, although my Evangelical sister would probably argue otherwise. Imagine having a fundie sister.

if it was firmly in place to begin with....Seal also wrote a lyric about his inability to understand people who refused to try and fly, didnt he?

Ive been watching the failures of our democratic process for a very long time now and each such occurance makes me more determined not less.......I bet you will throw off these doldrums and find renewed resolve to make a difference!

Sorry, had to say it. You're exactly right.
