Well, it's almost Easter again. Another Easter mass to attend. The third year in a row attending as the secret agnostic.
Even though I more or less understand the why behind the various parts of Easter mass I have to admit that it seems rather weird since I've stopped believing long ago.
I'll look around the packed church and see the look in many men's faces that they came because the wife or their mom pressured them. Men that I never see during my other two random visits during the year. What would it look like if the wives and mothers didn't make it a big deal?
I'll wonder how many are closeted agnostics or atheist or simply not into attending church. I'll wonder how many are going along to impress a gf or a potential gf.
But since it's important to her I'll put on my Sunday clothes and go. Still haven't figured out what the point of me going to this is other than she wants me to accompany her. Having tried to be open to belief over quite a few years of my adult life I wonder how long until her family picks up on my lack of belief? So many questions.
Here we go again.
