Sebastian Junger

the highest intentions of religion too much to take them lightly.

Now, there's plenty of religious expression which is not at a very high level, which I find even offensive and destructive.

But at its best, like journalism, like psychology, like everything, at its best.

Right.

It's a very noble thing.

thing that helps people live with more dignity and less fear and blah, blah, blah, right?

I mean, I get it.

So I take that stuff really literally.

And so for me, believing in God is an active thing, right?

And really, it's not like that you found God.

It's God found you.

Like, oh, my God, suddenly God was in my life, right?

And it's like when you fall in love, right?

You can't choose to fall in love, right?

It's an overwhelming feeling that you can't resist.

And if it's not, you're not really in love, bro.

You might have married Betty, but you're not in love with Betty, right?

But when you have that experience of overwhelming love, like, oh, my God, I'm in love with that person.

I got to be with them.

My life is with them.
