Religion is for people who believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and mermaids; people who love to believe in everything invisible. It starts with Santa Clause - free stuff at Christmas time – who wouldn’t like that? And as we grow older our wish list changes into a prayer list. Jolly old Saint Nick, the gift giver, becomes God, the all-knowing old man who answers prayer. Instead of asking for toys, our list becomes a bit more adult oriented. We ask for strength, encouragement, help with life’s problems, and of course healing. It is difficult to express how much happier life is since I grew up and climbed out of my old ignorant beliefs.
