Meditations: Post-Theistic Prayers for Progressive Congregations

A Sample Meditation: Loss on the Way to Enlightenment Avoidance rationalization religion reality projection distraction Acknowledging that we often grow tired of the painful truth about poverty illness racism discrimination environmental ruin and warfare we confess that we have escaped through distraction using food entertainment alcohol and personal isolation. We regret most deeply that we have fashioned religions to mask reality often blaming our cruel indifference on a divine being of our own creation. Liberate us from the darkness of ignorance and call us we pray into the light of truth that we may be partners in working for peace and justice.
