Sounds weird, but I consider religion something else entirely.
Probably every argument Kevin and I have will boil down to me not believing in spending my whole life searching for enlightenment. If it comes to me it comes, until then I will live mildly like a hedonist (without being excessive or harming others).
Maybe I just feel like humans don't need religion and that possibly most of the devoted religious people of the world don't achieve their greatest because it holds them back.
This is far too easy to disagree on, I'm just trying to communicate how I feel in hopes that maybe you will understand what I mean or why I say it.
hah, I don't mind if we "disagree." In fact, we are not disagreeing on this matter at all it seems. I think the approach of not searching for enlightenment is a good thing. If it comes, it comes. And ironically that approach probably allows it to come easier. I have spent a lot of time trying and trying and trying to reach something, but it has not worked; sitting back and relaxing and being and letting things just flow through me (not being passive, though) is what I think to be a better option, now

There's not us being in much disagreement, I know. It's just a touchy subject with a broad spectrum of ideas; so I fear to tread on it, especially around friends.

I hope I haven't frustrated you too much, ever. Not that it's a bad thing, but... yeah.
It is ironic because I just wrote about willful ignorance in my paper for Islam.
