“Worship” sculpture by Ralph Stackpole

I was a Christian in the evangelical sense for a long time and I was fooled a lot by what I call the religious spirit. The religious spirit is a sort of energy – or maybe it's really a spirit, I don't know.

What I know is that certain people harbor this “religious spirit”. When I come into contact with them or watch their sermons I get touched – and I often have to cry quickly. Before I always thought that this is the holy spirit's work and hence I believed it to be a sign for the truth.
