Mountain Dweller’s Paradise

I was just over at CNN reading President Obama’s inagural speech, since I have no TV reception and therefore didn’t watch the big inaguration event. I thought the speech was pretty good until I got to this line:

“We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and nonbelievers.”

Um… WHAT???  I am not a religionist of any kind, but I’m sure not a nonbeliever either. I have an active spiritual life and am well acquainted with faith.

So here’s my first clue for President Obama’s speech writers: Many of us are believers who choose not to join a specific religion. Get with the program!
