58. Technically, Bernie is a mystic:

Feb 2016

I saw Bernie state that he respects his heritage and believes in God but does not have anything to do any more with organized religion. The definition of a mystic is someone who believes in God but does not practice any religion.

I am a mystic myself and I keep trying to explain to my atheist friend that I have more in common with him than I do with the religious majority.

Sigh. How'd I let this happen? [View all] TDale313 Feb 2016 OP
