^^^ I have not reached a conclusion yet, so can't say. Still redefining my belief(s).



I am interested in knowing how are you going about that process of redefining. Just like I am interested in knowing how Karan arrived at the bullet point list that he posted.

It's nothing personal. I used to do puja everyday in the house and was very religious. I caouldn't tolerate anyone talking anything bad about God. But I used to pray everyday and then nothing special happened. So, I tried not praying for a week, just to check out if things go from bad to worse. It didn't. then I asked myself "You pray everyday for so long, what do you get from all this? How will you benefit from all this?" Answer was nothing. Sice then, I have lost all belief in God, accomapnied by the fact that there isn't any solid proof of His existence. I decide what's wrong or right by just referring to my morals, that have been taught by my parents. For example, I know cheating on a test is wrong because I have read stories about it and the consequences from articles given to me by my parents.

Ha ha, I can understand your situation, I felt the same way too when young. Although I did not truly believe in one yet the atmosphere and the magnetism of places of worship made me feel good. The subtle way it brought peace and happiness was hard to explain and I did like the late night poojas too.
God can be like a drug and we get addicted to it.😆
Or perhaps a comfortable bed where we can close our eyes and just relax.
God should be kept simple and superstitions and improper practices and rituals should be out; but then some people have strange ways of worshipping God. But I do not support any infliction of pain on the body or any unnecessary suffering for normal people.
But yes your parents are the physical and visible Gods. But here some judgement needs to be applied at times. Most parents generally only care for their children.

With the flow.
Not in any hurry, so let me take my time.

Now to think of it, I haven't done any serious research(es) for the longest time. I remember, I used to get up in the morning and hunt the web for anything related to spirituality. Those days are long gone, though. I hardly do that anymore. Life got too busy in the middle, and now, I am more concerned with the world around me than the sky. That is not meant to say that I have stopped concerning myself with spiritual matters permanently.

I like that. 👍🏼

The addiction, when it ceases its limit, can be dangerous as well.

Yes can be dangerous at times. But it is said that everyone is mad about something, wealth , woman, fun, property etc. Those mad about God should not be fanatics.
Someone sent me an email chain letter describing how Christ suffered on the Cross while being nailed. I told them to wake up . Firstly Christ was a Master yogi and he could easily block all pain or he may not even have any Body awareness. Also God will not let one who loves Him so much suffer, God is not so heartless.

One can never be too sure about "a".
