Here it is...
I would like to make this post to renounce my religion. I no longer feel it is true. Oh how I wish it was.

Just looking back over our existence, we can see that if a human doesn’t feel purpose, bad things happen. This need for purpose, a “hole” if you will, is in each one of us. Humans need some way of coping with this emptiness. You either have to fill it, or avoid it. We can fill it with a purpose, usually manifested by religion. Alternatively, we could keep our minds off it, either through physical or mental exertion.
This is a real life ‘Matrix situation’. Does a person choose happiness, or the truth? I have been wrestling with this. Could try to go back to the faith I once clung to, even though I no longer believe it? Can I fill my life with work and events to take my mind off it, even though I know it is just a ploy?
Look at your life, are you just filling it with ‘stuff’ to ensure your mental well being?
