I woke up praying today. I used to be a hardcore Evangelical Christian for 30+ years, until recently. I caught myself and thought, "Who the hell am I praying to? I'm not supposed to believe in God!" Then I replied to myself, "Just do whatever you want. You are a rebel by nature. So you can even revolt against your own new found atheism sometimes." Anyways, after reading books on Atheism, Agnosticism, Freethought, Humanism, etc, I found they have many good points, but honestly, it doesn't cover all the necessary issues of life and spiritual needs. OTOH, I'm so wary of New Age & the Human Potential movements with Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Dalai Lama et al. I want my life to follow REALITY, not everyone's "visions", "revelations", and other various sundrious ridiculousnesses.
Looks like this spiritual journey is going to take a lot of time and effort ; ) . . .
Cheers,
Bjarte
