MARK RICHARDSON Is "having faith" an arbitrary decisions or, a decision that is made for us, already? Do we choose to have faith, or, are we com- pelled to? According to Carl Jung, the Swiss pyschoanalyst who died in 1961, whether we are religious or not is a matter of choice. What is more, Jung says, being religious is the choice we should make. In his book, Man and His Symbols, Jung pointed out that: "there is ... a strong em- pirical reason why we should cultivate thoughts that can never be proved. It is that they are known to be useful. We positively need general ideas and convictions that will give meaning to our lives ... We can stand the most incredible hardships when we are convinced that they make sense." To back up 'his argument, Jung selected a New Testament character as an example of what he was talking about: "A sense of a wider meaning to one's existence is what raises a person beyond more getting and spending. If we lack that sense, we are lost and miserable. Had St. Paul been convicted that he was nothing more than a wandering weaver of carpets, he certainly would not have been the man he was ... The myth that took possession of him made him something greater than a mere craftsman."

Interment of remains in the family plot at St. Peter's Cemetery in Peterborough. sister So, religion is useful. But, is religion real- ly a matter of choice? Jung himself said that Paul was "taken possession" of; and the Christian tradition tells us that God chose us before we chose God (see Ephe- sians 1:4). How much choice do we have? A great deal, in fact. To use Paut as an ex- ample, again: 'we all remember his Damascus road experience, but we tend to forget that for three days he was without sight, before he started his mission. He must have done a lot of thinking during that time: "was that really God who spoke to me? Or; was it my imagination?" Somewhere along the line, Paul had to choose. We are no different. Especially we, living in an age when reason is preferred to spiritually, will have to choose for ourselves. We will not have visions or lightning guide us along our ways. And why should we choose religion? As Carl Jung, for one, has told us: it is, at the very least, useful.
