Wow, that was terrific. Very thoughtful. I too went from believer to agnostic, so a lot of points he made resonated with me, especially about freedom. That's been on my mind a lot lately. Not only have I found a freedom in exploring ideas, thoughts and feelings, I've felt freed up to accept people of different faiths. I see others as my equals, not as mistaken people who won't get into heaven.

Sounds like he needs a New Religion.

I agree with him completely. We are thinking beings we can't help ourselves.

Oh, Simon.

It's never too late to live your dream to get up to mischief in the back of the art room!

I'm already waiting for you there... heeheehee,

I have loved Simon ever since I was a young 12 yr old girl, I am now 40 & am still a fan. I met him once in my early 20's & he was as nice as I had imagined. As a christian myself I have a sadness that comes over me when I hear this interview. I pray that Simon finds his faith again. Kind of hard to believe with everything thing he has been thru, facing death in the yacht accident & being blessed w/a successful career & loving family that he could have lost his faith. My prayer's are w/you!

For the control freak, it is hard to let someone else have control things. It is hard to let go and have someone else take care of you. Being a control freak, I have always wanted to have all the answers. I feel Simon is the same way. We want God saying it's ok but we really don't want him making the decisions. A control freak wants control of all aspects of life. Crazy, but true!

The freedom to think, to feel and be are central to a meaningful existence for me. That freedom must be balanced with responsibility. Much of humanity needs a cosmic parent to take responsibility for their actions. I have come to a believe in a higher source which has no inherent gender or agenda other than to realise its creations- us. While I still enjoy church music and celebration Christmas in the back of my mind is an awareness that these and many others were about keeping the social order.
