To what degree do your spiritual beliefs provide you with buoyancy?

Christians once believed that if a woman was a witch, she'd float. Jesus walked on water; did they believe he's a witch? Or is it one of those things that's a sin for women and not men, since Peter also walked on water?

Your cheerfulness has bubbled to the surface. 😵

To what degree does your 'gut feeling' about God provide you with buoyancy?

Are spiritual bouncy and spiritual depth two sides of the same coin?

I'd say not at all. But I think there's potentially a lot more to the exercise of the human spirit than simply settling for one of the packages of explanations/instructions offered by religions. Although I was content to be a Christian for many years, losing those beliefs has been a positive experience and, sometimes, engaging with religious ideologues (in venues like this one) can make that whole process feel like it was ~ metaphorically speaking ~ a kind of floating up to the surface or coming up for air (and staying there).
