"I don't believe in ritual - I don't find truth in it. I believe that priests love Jesus, I can love Jesus through them, but if I go in a room and read the bible, I find ethics, moral code. I'm left with my appreciation of stars, trees, mathematics, three sided triangles, gravity, light, sound, life in general. I strive to understand how everything works, the fundamentals of nature, why a person feels the way they feel so I can study them, figure out what affects them to make sure I fit in. I spent my entire life with those things being my religion -- I've only known you for one year and everything else seems like a blade of grass in my life. I love you. You are my definition of love, there is nothing greater than you." Tim, sitting with me, tears welling in his eyes after our monthly argument, 22:00
