For instance; praying alone gives me a peace I never find anywhere else. It's not a matter of "drawing symbols" and "staying in mosques all day". It's more of a communication with God; that's something I find that many religious people just don't get: God is up there; and if he is all powerful as the believer believes; then God will be listening and seeing, even before the person acts.
Quote:It's just that being "happy" in this life is quite a wrong turn for me, because while I smile, others are born handicapped, while I enjoy nature others are born blind; while I enjoy a full stomach every night others wish for even an expired meal.Sounds like you ought to take that up with god, next time you whisper at the floor.
Quote:Life is quite grim, and I think happiness is a form of a blurred vision; or selfishness depending on the case.Tell us more about the lies that religious people sell.........
Not in defense of religious people; this applies to them too. Lots of missionaries sell lies of happiness, lies which are never met of course.
