Sure, I struggle all the time. Some days I'm aggravated by what I see as naive irrationality, obedience through fear, and an unreliable crutch. Other days I get a strong sense that there's an entity beyond the veil who actually has a plan,
although its plan may not be beneficial to me, individually.
In the long run, I choose to (attempt to) lead an ethical, forthright life, rather than put myself at the mercy of a god who may not be interested in my personal growth. A little scarier -- but a lot more liberating, for me.
