Well, sex can become addictive as can anything that causes your brain to release dopamine. Like, looking at a blue sky or exercising or even eating chocolate. We can even program our bodies to release dopamine after certain activities that we find soothing.
Here's your brain, after it's soothed.

Can prayer have an effect on sculpting the brain? “Neurotheologians” – researchers who are studying the brain science of spiritual experience -- think so. They have found that the brains of those who pray or meditate, whether it's Carmelite nuns or Buddhist monks, operate differently from normal brains. Dr. Andrew Newberg at the University of Pennsylvania has found that those who meditate have increased activity in the frontal lobe -- the part of the brain involved in concentration -- and decreased activity in the parietal lobe, which gives people a sense of orientation in time and space.
So..... yeah. Whose right if you all are having the same experience? Maybe, just maybe.. You're just performing changes in your neuroscience and not really getting in touch with god.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
