man and religion

For a Catholic, you'd think I'd be more religious. Religion has always been a sore spot for me, as someone who both believed in a Greater Power and who greatly disdains organized religion. I'm not big on religious activities either, despite going to church every Sunday. But I am fascinated by religion as a concept, as something people desperately cling to in adverse times.

I view religion as something that's deeply personal. You can worship whatever -whoever- gives you strength. So today I present two different concepts of religion.

There's Honor and his deep devotion to a person who gives him strength. A purpose in living, a direction in life. To pain and discipline and being alive.

And then there is Man fascinated by God, and God who is chained. Man touches Him reverently, running his hands over His face, as if that could help Man understand God better.
