Now, my reasons for going to church, for talking to god are fairly intellectual, and not in the least superstitious or supernatural. But then that is based upon one’s ability to think in increasing degrees of abstraction from the more simplistic and anthropomorphic. I might prefer that ‘church’ preached the “Matter of Greece, France, Germany, and England” as myths, and I might prefer that the ‘church school’ taught physical fitness, military and political strategy, morality and the law, the use of money, and economics’. But I accept the simple fact that a polity must experience running, dancing, chanting, singing, reciting, together to help us ‘bond’ by reminding us of our origins as a pac; of surrendering our will to the group – which is the source of the feeling of ‘spirituality’, and the ultimate sense of safety that we can experience.
