Theos-Talk Archives (July 2004 Message tt00412)

Hi Raghu,

Yes it's 'soothing' - but spirituality isn't about soothed feelings. I
used to eat chocolat a lot, to sooth my feelings. Don't think there
was any spiritual stuff going on while I did though... LCC has the
implication that it is 'spiritual' to go to church.
