The problem for me is that serious "spirituality" in religion consumes almost all happines in life and leaves you with "noble" misery of sacrifice for the "higher goals".
That's interesting. You're certain God exists but how certain are you regarding His nature, purposes and significance in your life? Can you elaborate on what you think God is and wants from you?
Oh, and in what sense are you a different de-convert? Does it have to do with the institution of the church versus what you experience directly?
By the difference I meant my faith that doesnt cease to exist.
On What God wants... Religion has a reason to exist as long as it offers you to monitize your excellent morale behaviour. Be it a good reincarnation according to karma, to have a next life like Justin Bieber has now but with a decent singing talent, or Christian happy life in heaven with God.
I think, God, surly would "invest" in createing humanity for some kind of benefit.
