Have you gotten to the point in your life where you see all the unique differences that set you apart from other people as virtues?

If not then perhaps soon; after all, if you don't hang out with invisible friends you're already half way there.

When they become virtues there's no reason for self imposed guilt or shame over inconsequential details that keep people insecure enough to stay in religion. They fear their thought crimes might have consequences. Once no thought is forbidden you can find out exactly who you are and you might find out you still care about people, you still want to empower them, you still love. But this time it's just you, not a gift from God, a gift of your true nature. I almost find it spiritual because it evokes the same emotion I had when I was religious, but I see them for what they are now.

I know it's preachy, but I'm slightly inspired tonight.
