We may more gravitate to that which is familiar rather than seek the unknown and infinite. It can come across as vague and beyond us.
However in times of trial and grief even an Agnostic such as myself have foregone such feelings and sought Allah/God/Hashem in prayer. There is such peace in this moment, not asking for anything but for Allah to be present with me in my difficulties but when it ends….
It is easy to revert to old habits. It is in my mind the greatest fault of Christianity, it overexposes the finite to a point of being infinite.
Thomas Merton once said that we are both utterly meaningful and also nothing but dust. Perhaps this is the proper balance although they seem difficult to reconcile.
Sorry for the long post, it would be nice to know what everyone else thinks 🙂

Thank you for the kind words, Paul. It would nice to hear from Eric or Intellect on such matters and also yourself, I imagine you all would have such very interesting things to say.
