I decided to start a new post as I originally intended it to be a response to the Purpose of Life post but felt it took another direction.
First off, tip of the hat to everyone in here. I discovered this group by chance. Second, purpose to life? Ah, the frailties of the mind, I have been walking backwards as I've grown weak in faith. I am muslim, I don't think anyone here is immature enough to negatively comment on such a label, but I do have one thing to say: When I was more faithful to my religion and consistent with prayers I felt a sense of completion and calmness. I could even say that I at one point I felt that I reached a temporary self actualization. It's not the religion, but more or less the idea of maintaining spirituality that keeps one fulfilled. Through my recent skepticisms and analyzations of religion as a whole I have been more distraught than I've ever been. Is it an oddysey? Why does one who has steered far from ideological beliefs that a supreme entity exists feel lost and agonizingly stressed? Wouldn't one be better off just accepting and following religion knowing that they are abiding by its rules accordingly? Isn't that comfort?
