Congregation comes from a latin root meaning flock of sheep...
yeah, despite all the "Jesus as the shepherd" stuff, there's the whole, sheep mentality issue.
I just can't get behind a religion. I'm spiritual. Definitely. I've been lighting candles for all souls day, inviting the ancestors home. One night I'll leave food out for them, and then on Dec. 24th, I'll take the candles back to the cemetary, and lead them back "home".
But I know it's about me making a connection with my roots, and my missing family, and my relatives, and nothing to do with real spirits, or real anything.
It's the people who believe this stuff that scare me.
