I can sympathize with believers in looking for human goodness, meaning or a sublime experience in life, but the problem is that it is NOT going to be found in a church group. Why do we need God and Jesus to have a conscience? Can't moral responsibility and general kindness and love be a natural human trait that is biologically programmed within us? A monotheistic God is a model for totalitarian dictatorship. It is a grand conspiracy against mankind. The Bible justifies every evil in the name of self righteousness. Christianity is spiritual fraud. It detaches us from our own self worth. God is dead. The devil actually makes more sense to worship because he is not as evil. Jesus is completely mythological and fabricated through various pagan cultures. Wake up! If you want "spirituality", go for a walk in the woods and enjoy Nature.
That's fine, but you are still human! Spiritual is a vague word anyway. Maybe peacefulness or nonworry would be a better term to describe that state of mind.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
