Yes, Allen, as I write about in my book, Native Soul, we’re all involved in an evolution of values. We won’t quite let go of the old till we see the value of the new. The good news is that we travel at our own pace.

Thanks for your input.

I realize that the freedom of aloneness invites me, especially at 68 years of age. There is a correlative sadness and fear that leaving behind neo-orthodoxy brings. I realize that for years I have tried to “have my cake and eat it too ” as it relates to theology and beliefs. I have hung on to the trappings of traditional Christian belief, for fear of the final judgment., while dissatisfied with its implications about the nature of God. I would complain about the Fundamentalists while still being controlled be the same fundamental fear.

Releasing neon -orthodoxy is like releasing a large part of who I am, or think I am. So there you have it.
