Silence, the movie

Post by tbieter »

I began reading the book this morning.

I hope to see the movie soon.

As I approach my seventy-fifth year, I think that I may have lost the faith. I actually live each day as a practical atheist. The other day I discovered that I could not remember the words of the "Hail Mary" prayer.

One can never ignore the fundamental religious questions which are said to be raised in this book.

Well done, it just goes to show it's never too late.

If your faith was in the Catholic church, I'm not surprised. It could be that you never had any faith in God to begin with, therefore you couldn't loose it.
