You are on the losing side of this Barry. Think about it - For me puja is similar to sex - even a die-hard atheist like Curtis would agree there is shakti or energy in sex. I associate all the steps in puja similar to foreplay and the goddess as the beloved. The sense of intimacy, love you feel in the act of foreplay or the steps in pooja can't be discounted. Having said that I would always choose sex, intimacy with a real woman over pooja with a fantasized goddess but I won't deride pooja like you.
