The Shock of Faith: It’s Nothing Like I Thought It Would Be
Dorothy Day, who dedicated her life to living in community with the poor, once said the Christians should live in a way that doesn’t make sense unless God exists.
David Brooks • The Shock of Faith: It’s Nothing Like I Thought It Would Be
When religion is seen as belief, then the believer lives on a continuum between belief and doubt. But when religion is seen as a longing, then the believer lives on the continuum between intensity and apathy.

Neither frame is ideal or better but I lean more on the intensity/apathy spectrum. Or is one better than the other…? Both can lead to sin I think in equal degrees
