[9/1996 journal entry] For me, being ‘non-religious’ means that the story/play Job and the essay Ecclesiastes are my only ways in/out of Jewish Scripture or Christian scripture, my only ways to/from ‘Jesus’.

I do not think of myself any longer as representing Christian ‘religion’ or any particular denomination.
