My thought is why bother lighting those candles, saying those prayers, or chanting your spell to a concept?
I suppose it comes down to what God is..............

Is God a Concept?

Well....duh....what else can this thing possibly be. Unless someone can actually state they have met the thing....it is but a concept. Candles, Wine, Communion....who cares what means people use to get closer to the concept, it all serves the same purpose. The key here is....why bother watching/ reacting to someone elses religion/belief....instead of your own.
