  A poignant write Fred. In Christianity, though, yes, it is a 'religion', there is the theme of us needing be to saved from our sins.
  Then Jesus says to His disciples (Christian believers) 'IF any one will follow me, let him/her take up their cross daily'. So there's no forcing in it, with that 'if'.
  From a non-religious view, we could call the current situations 'our heavy cross to bear', though not with the same meaning as in a religious sense - if you see what I mean.

    Thanks Orchie,
    I do see what you mean. I guess what I was trying to say is that one can be a good person without being part of a religion. One can believe in and doing good without being 'saved'.
    Oh, this is getting too heavy for me, especially in the early morning! 🙂

    You got headache, thinking of all this in the early morning? It was probably early evening here in UK, when you wrote it!
