We do not hold the spiritual or supernatural in high esteem, neither do we worship anything. There is no need to worship mysterious forces because life is to be lived here and now. You make the best of what you have and enjoy it to the fullest.
Besides, how can you hold such a god in high esteem who claims to care for each and every person when there are millions dying every day of starvation?
I live for my family, to love and care for them, to protect and learn from them as they do with me as well. I live to appreciate what I have and to strive to be the best that I can be. I do not live, however, for imaginary beings. Life does not need the supernatural to make sense. If you need the supernatural for your life to make sense, then perhaps you are simply dissatisfied with what you have around you.
