I can relate. I tend to do my best writing while under the influence of alcohol.

You will never understand God until you decide to live a holy life. Until that point, you will be deceived by the hedonistic impulse. You will never have true spirituality as a hedonist. Your opinions about religion are about as valuable as a 6th grader talking about astrophysics. Actually, less valuable, because a 6th grader could watch something about Astrophysics a movie, something like that, but you will never see signs and wonders because your sin separates you from God.

People who claim to understand God have deluded themselves into the belief that He is real.

Astrophysics is an awesome topic. I love listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson. On the other hand, I don't want to live a "spiritual" life or know God, so I'll keep living hedonistically and catching up on NDT, and I consider religion about as valuable as most of the opinions of 6th graders. So we're even.
