Three Types of Plastic Faith
I dont think about my faith unless its in my
faceso I avoid things to do with faith if I can
help it.
Faith is a nice thing to have just to fill in
the space, but I avoid it when it tells me how to
live.
Ill think about Faith when I have time or when
I retire. Right now, I have too many things to
do (or lose).
