home_and_awayBouncing round at Making Light brought me to the agnostic's prayer from Creatures of Light and Darkness, which I now repost here because it makes me smile.
Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness. Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony. Amen.
~Roger Zelazny
Also, because it reminds me of Cat's story about Easter at the Unitarian Church in Chattanooga.
And that makes me smile, also.
