I'm discovering that it isn't a very pleasant process. I'm not even making a huge leap, because I was never religious in the first place. I guess I'm just not ready to close the door.

My whole objective was simply to set aside unneccessary or frivolous beliefs in an attempt to more effectively or efficiently utilize logic. I didn't want a whole lot of conflicting or irrational ideas working their way in.

I guess my attempt at conversion left me feeling somewhat distraught, even empty.

It's fair to say that I was happier with a more spiritual perspective, and even felt more open-minded.

Good grief.
