42. My favorite song right now
is Ave Maria by Hans Schubert. It is a breathtakingly beautiful piece of music. Even a heartless, joyless, evil atheist like myself can be moved by a piece of religious art. I wouldn't, however, classify it any different than a secular piece of art. It's not as though it satisfies some deep cultural need in me that I'm not getting because I don't go to church.

As far as when I do go to church, mostly I just feel sad for the people around me. I know they mostly mean well, and I know they get a lot of fulfillment out of religious beliefs - so did I, at one point.
