[lbo-talk] Re: Atheistic religions

[joanna bujes]

Look if you think that religion is something you pick to make you feel 
good or to have God choose you over everyone else or to get your wishes 
fulfilled, etc.,  that's not much different than the xtian fundies, with 
their God in their back pocket attitude.

Or, to quote, Krishnamurti, "If you want to feel good, take drugs."

If, on the other hand, you want to open yourself up to 
this-thing-called-God-or-reality-or-that-which-can't-be-put-into-words, 
well, that's a really arduous task, which has nothing to do with 
priests/churches and nothing to do with wish-fulfillment.
