Yes, which is why you can't GET the same benefit as I can.That's your theory not mine.God. He created existence. You are sharing in His existence.Not in the manner I described.I disagree.The act of worship is giving thanks to the gift giver by showing one's appreciation for the talent he was given by using that talent.One does not need to worship any gods in order to live a life that "makes sense".Why do you think doubts and reservations are not discussed among family and friends? Even Bible study groups discuss doubts and reservations and other possibilities on some accounts and issues.The true liars are the religious who pretend to believe in God but secretly have reservations
They attend services and say all the right words because they don’t want to admit to family and their community that they really don’t believe all they are being told.
The Christian Way of Life makes sense. This can be lived even if one does have doubts about miracles, about some stories, or even about God.
So... yeah, one kinda does need to worship God to show God that appreciation to live a life that makes sense.
one can be thankful without worshiping any gods.
My life is not a gift given by some god it is a cosmic accident that could just as easily not have happened. That however in no way means I am not glad to be alive and I certainly don't owe anything to any gods.
The act of worship is giving thanks to the gift giver by showing one's appreciation for the talent he was given by using that talent.
And the "gift giver" is who exactly?
