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.
