God

Journal Entry: 2-5-2012

Priests, imams, rabbis and ministers are admirable, useful and fine intermediaries between God and the particular worshiper. Are there other ways to approach God, or welcome God into one's life? The easy answer is most definitely.

God is an extremely developed individualist. Therefore, direct communication between God and the supplicant is the most informative, and is spiritually and emotionally the most rewarding way to converse with God. The direct connection is the most valuable and effective technique for communing with God.

Community-based worship as a member of a congregation is still a valuable but less desirable, a less effective way to relate to God.

Community-based worship still offers participants therein a host of secondary advantages, like serving as a place to socialize, to organize for community projects, for satisfying the herding instinct to belong to an organization larger than oneself. There loneliness is abated and emotional rewards can be met.
