i had a phase where i found that type of spirituyal belief enlightening. personal experience made me become a completely non-spiritual person but i still see the process behind that.

still, i am not in favour of being anti-religious to the point you disrespect other people's ritual needs. not all christians are bible thumping monsters (well most of em are but...). i know a few people, especially the ones that had harsh traumas or close deaths in their life, that actually use religious faith as a positive plus. and i respect that.

(not disagreeing with you alana, just trying to sort out my thoughts)
