PTB, I was once a very strong Christian. As a child, when I knelt down to say prayers each night, it just felt right. I pictured God or Jesus above me and hearing me. It was as simple as that. There's not much else to look for, as far as I know.
Of course, I was a child then. I understand the world now, and this makes those types of beliefs impossible for me.
Forgive me, but it seems there are a thousand and one religions and just as many ways to "know" a God. You might just get the comfort and satisfaction you are looking for if you just focus on being moral and devote yourself to finding the greatest happiness for you and the people around you. It does it for me, anyway.
And on another note:

You should have controlled yourself there, Mark24. I do agree with you, but I don't care to read the rest of your post because you completely discredited yourself. Be careful.

[edit] I apologize, but was I really that much off topic? Yikes, this is hard for the average fellow to join in the conversation.
