I am agnostic. I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church. In my 20s I attended a non-denominational Christian church as born-again. I know the Word. I left the Church, the first one, when I left my parent's home. I left the second one when I got divorced. I recognized the need most people feel for their faith. When my partner said she wanted to Church our daughter, I told her if she could find a church in rural Montana that would accept two women raising a Chinese baby, I'd attend. She did.

As we moved, we continued to find accepting Parishes. The last Pastor said that the longer I spent in the pews, the more likely I'd rejoin the faithful. I told her, the longer I stayed, the more I was sure I would not. I never returned to the Faith but remained part of the congregation for the next decade.

One Palm Sunday, while listening to the Sermon, I wondered, just what did Christ do from the time of His burial until his Resurrection. It wasn't three days. More like, 39 hours.

By the time I got home after service and brunch, I had the story in my head. This is what I wrote:

There's so often the MS narrative which doesn't match the truth.
Messiah was 'cut off' mid week, our Wednesday and resurrected at the end of Sabbath, evening. There were 2 high days that year so it was put ahead, a rush job.

There's no group that could confuse me more than the RC. Never could I ever go near that. Not to say I didn't find good sermons, a reverent atmosphere.
This is the formation, the top. Controlling.
Jesus made me free, but this definitely isn't for everyone just like not one size fits all.

People should never TELL others about themselves; they should ASK the person.
That is respect.
