Recently, I had the pleasure of engaging in a thought-provoking conversation with an individual who presented a unique perspective on the evolving state of religious experiences amidst our increasingly pagan society. While I may not necessarily align with this individual's viewpoint, I am always open to exploring unconventional insights. It is worth noting that this individual had made the decision to discontinue attending church in favor of frequenting the local theater. He conveyed to me his belief that the level of pretense and performative behavior exhibited within religious establishments surpassed even that which could be observed within the realm of theatrical arts. However, what set these two realms apart was the conscious effort of individuals within religious settings to conceal their acting endeavors.Upon extensive contemplation and drawing connections between the application of life to the human soul, it becomes apparent that we, as beings, possess non-physical gifts. Our existence is sustained by the intrinsic desire to share these gifts, deriving pleasure from the act itself. It is misguided to equate the human soul with the act of unburdening oneself from a profound problem as a means to overcome self-righteousness. Rather, the Christian experience revolves around God aiding us in exploring our spiritual necessity to express these gifts, thus fulfilling our metaphysical needs. It is crucial to understand that we were never intended to conform to someone else's vision and derive motivation solely from pain. Contrary to popular belief, God is not synonymous with anguish.The theater serves as a platform for the exploration of our inherent artistic nature. It is unfortunate that we have deviated from the true essence of being a beloved member of the community of the righteous, resulting in a loss of appreciation for the profound impact of diverse spiritual gifts possessed by others. However, it is intriguing to consider that theater provides a medium through which these gifts can be shared and experienced, prompting deeper contemplation.
