Do you see any benefits to religious faith?

[Arkilogue]

I gather that he's easily taken in by "deepities"; a "postmodern believer" who, in essence, thinks all religious are metaphors to describe "the super-real"; I am willing to bet that "everything is nothing and nothing is everything," and similar such declarations, which might impress a small group of hippies sitting around a fire tripping on LSD, would also describe the feelings of a believer like himself.  Like I said, a lover of deepities.  His posts are better examples than those which I could conceive.  That's my sense anyway.

I view all religions as various types fruit trees in various stages of feral growth. Most are far overgrown and no longer bearing good fruit. But I'm not limited to current fruit, I'm a spiritual recombinant geneticist. I can select the traits I want to consume and become and I am growing my own tree of Life, and after a great deal of growth, I too and in need of pruning. That is why I'm here, I tend the tree. I am it's creator preserver and destroyer and I retain artist license of my life.

I've never had a need or use for nothing. I doesn't really come up in my work.

Thanks for the complement! You inspire me....try this one: The universe is a sum thing from a Something for some things.
