Usually, my prayers are a quick thanks for the comfortable life I have, and please keep an eye on my kids. I detest organised religion, and see it as purely a power and money grab, but I do not detest the idea of truly believing. Ridiculing people on any end of the religion spectrum puts a bad taste in my mouth.
What is stronger than my belief in some form of God, is a belief in some form of an existence after death. I guess I have my own personal little "ghost story", which was powerful enough, and witnessed by another, which always snaps me back from doubt in that regard. I truly believe there is something after we die, although I have no idea what it is like, or if it is eternal. I truly look forward to finding things like this out one day after dying in my sleep 80 or so years from now.

Sorry to hear that Molson, same sort of thing happened to my Grandpa, was outcast from his family because he did beleive in becoming a Jehovah's Witness.
It included not talking to his Brothers for almost 20 years. Pretty bad stuff.
