I've always thought of spirituality as an excuse, a way to find an answer without finding the truth.

Ironically, every answer only brings with it a dozen more questions. Personally, I think that answers are life's little joke. We search for answers, find one or two, celebrate, only to find out that on the heels of that one answer is a litany of deeper questions.

Which I think leads to a paradox: The universe seems perfectly willing to support our "desire" for answers, but not our "need" for answers.

Here's another one from Gov. Ventura

“Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you'd want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live.”
