Did, then I grew up.
I do believe that if god existed he'd be the most cruel, vile, evil, and loathsome being to ever exist and completely unworthy of worship.

Nope, never.

Since child, I read about the egyptians and love the Asterix comics. And I always thought: If people in different times worshipped different gods, why this Jeovah is so especial?

God is both personal and impersonal, manifest and unmanifest.

Reasoned thought is good but it’s only theory.  Theory alone will not get you there, you need practice.  Practice what?  Practice to still the mind and go beyond thought.

I think therefore I am, says the little ego.  You are neither the ego nor your thoughts.  You are the observer.  You are Love and Joy; God is Love and Joy.  The entrance is stillness of mind. “ Be still and know that I am God.”

A lot of attention to religion here lately! I'm raised as a christian and always stayed.
It's a pity to see so few religious people here.
