I Know There Is No God

In a way I agree with this quote. God or whomever you believe in as a higher order in any religion does not have the power to make you happy, sad or any other emotion. Religion itself is a means of making one whole. Embracing suffering and pain is often a road to wholeness. This road is traveled by you and you alone most of the time.

We all have our beliefs and to each his own.

Do you think people who don't embrace any kind of religion can never be whole?

No, I don't believe you need any religion at all. You will still live and have every life experience without religion. I think it helps some to have beliefs, ways to cope, meditate, etc., but it is not needed to live a happy productive full life.

@WritersRemorse: Same here really. I've kind of always thought that some people need a religion and some people just don't.
