8. I like a lot of religious music.

Some classical, some traditional American gospel, Reggae, Blues etc. But here's the thing; I like the music first. If the lyrics happen to praise Jeebus or Bodhisattva or whomever, so be it. I'm usually ok with that on a limited basis.

There was a time in my life when it seriously bothered me. I guess I've come to a point where I can appreciate the music without the angst of fretting over the message as long as it's not being shoved down my throat.

I think it's a matter of feeling the numinous rather than the supernatural.
