What is religion? Its not what *others* believe, its what *you* believe. And your beliefs are made from your thoughts, derived from your observations, shaped by your realizations.
You don't have to believe in everybody's definition of God. Find your own logic which fills the questions in your head and empowers your spirit.
We have a psychological need to be dependent on *something* logical, something that makes sense, the ultimate conciousness. If we were to truly think that such a state of conciousness, a state of right, did not exist, we would have no ruler to measure our morality against, no courage to defend our pride.
It does not necessarily have to entail a 20 handed supreme being with three heads throwing chakras, or a fire spitting dragon or even anything remotely supernatural. Some see with their eyes, some with their mind's eye (which is a little bit more colorful) but in the end all are walking the same road to salvation.
Believe in what inspires you, cause you know its good, or else, it would have never inspired you in the first place :D
Damn I must have bumped my head in the Bodhi Tree when I was young.. ;)
My 2 cents worth ... pse.
