[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4627470, member: 80301"] Not necessarily being a religious person, I still pray occasionally as a form of meditation. I dont feel the need to personify or give names to supernatural entities with characteristics and human attributes. I think, just like with medicine, in the right proportion, it can be helpful. Over-doing it can be deadly. I think most peoples approach towards or away from religion all have to do with lacks of proportion and imbalance. Instead of adopting a concept of God that the individual understands, they accept a concept of God that someone ELSE understands, and then reject it. *shrug* Either way, theres alot of stress with believing that the ceiling of all understanding stops at the top of my own head, and theres a great deal of relief in at least convincing myself that it doesnt. If that makes any sense. I dont feel like I need to have the answers to everything. And Im at peace with that. But there definitely was a time where I felt like it was my obligation as a man to fulfill the God role, and understand everything to the best of my ability. Today Im ok with just saying, "Fk if I know dude Im just a truck driver". [/QUOTE]
