It sure beats some other beliefs out there that haven't been introduced yet. It does not ,however, come with a money back guarantee.
everyone uses every function about evenly. take NE for example. if there are those who don't use it much, then why are there such massive amounts of people constantly flowing through Wallmart with 20 items or less?

I respect those that have religion in there lives and those that don't. As long as they stand with their beliefs respectfully and with 'common sense'.
Personally I chose not to believe in things I don't understand. And instead enjoy challenging those ideas. In search of scientific explanations. Yet I've studied many a religion. Despite the fact I'm not religious. I do find quite a lot of inspiration in many other religions. Most noteworthy for me is buddhism.
Technically that makes me a hippocrit to most people. "You either believe, or you don't.". I don't get the ultimatum but I can live with that tag if need be. I just like how many religions have very valuable life lessons. And are a great source of inspiration. Not only to the religious, but also the non religious.

"Intelligence is being able to hold too opposing views in the mind at the one time without going crazy" - Now all I need to figure out is if I'm intelligent or crazy!

Our Jealous God
If religion is a way of seeing, what do we see when we look through Christianity; what do we see when we look through Islam or Judaism; or Buddhism or Shinto or even Hinduism? Ah, and what do we see when we look through the eyes of the God Poseidon?
How odd that most of us insist on looking only through the eyes of one God when there are many Gods.
We are rich in Gods and rich in ways of seeing. But we only see in one way.
Why is that?
'Cause my God is a jealous God.

Dunno why shit happens, amused. Suppose people like to bridge the gap between the corporeal and the incorporeal and the ideas that are told are turned into beliefs, its a gray area.

This is your belief, albeit not on a topic of the supernatural, it is not much different than religions.
Science and the supernatural are not mutually exclusive which is why what you call religion is still relevant. It's my belief that that is a widespread belief in response to the value exaggeration stereotypical of those who follow a religion.
Some cling to religion, others cling to what they believe to be facts. The fact is, we don't really know much for sure. In the meantime, I propose we STFU about it.
