And that would describe me about a number of things... there are things I might like, enjoy, and find even fulfilling, but none of them are a Passion to me (within the definition of Passion my acquaintance provided).
I still submit, that very few people in this world really have a PASSION, but most have things they enjoy, find fullfilling, and like to do. I submit that a having a PASSION, is a luxury that few get to enjoy.

I agree. I pretty much understood your point of view on this from the first post or two.

So you DO view a passion as an emotion you must feel, e.g., if you're missing a strong emotion, you believe you are also missing passion.

What I find odd is that you believe you have no passion for God and/or that it is OKAY not to have a passion for God.  |
When he started thread I sort of presumed the Reverend precluded our passion for Jesus. Kind of like when someone asks, "If you could have dinner with anyone who ever lived, who would it be?". It sort of assumes all Christians would say Christ as a first choice and is asking beyond that.
