Keeping the Faith

[NorthernRaider]

Ooeer, OK I was baptised Church of England but as the years went by and I experienced more of life I lost my blind obedience to the C of E especially as it stared changing what was a sin and what was now socially acceptable. But I think more importantly I got to see how other people lived WITH and WITHOUT faith and I realised that from both sides of the fence people got moral support, comfort and guidance with or without religion.

I saw how Mormons and Fundamentalist Christians stockpiled food, fuel, medicines etc and how completely independently the Amish and Mennonites did the same, but then I cam across Social realists and political scientists who had seen just how vulnerable our societies have become and they too prep and store supplies. And it was topped off by meeting or reading about people living in remote areas who had to prep regardless of faith or politics because its what they had to do to survive each winter.

I have more faith in the fellow preppers who are living the self reliant lifestyle than I do in any faith.
