I also cant remember saying I get a "good feeling"...but I must say that I generally have good feelings most of the time! That could be alcohol induced though!!  Discussing religion is a great thing...it creates thought from all sides...questioning...and in the end choice. |
I have one differing point. I take the position that god is everywhere and since he is everywhere he is inside of us also. [That doesn't mean you or I are god, there are a definite lines that I don't cross
and I sometimes speak up when I see others crossing lines.] So if you believe in yourself, you believe in god. I also take the opinion that a young child is innocent and they believe in themself so they believe in god. A lot of what I try to accomplish is to return to or stay in this state so I can enjoy this experience.
Further a young child doesn't need drugs or pills or alcohol or as you say religion, to be happy although I might have a drink now and than strictly for medicinal purposes.
