Thanks for the reply, Markos. I always dig your posts about religion because your pov makes alot of sense and it falls in line with my logic alot.
I said that I relate to religious people because it seems that those who look for something good outside themselves will find answers in the world around them. If you are selfless and your character is true, you can aim high all the time. And I feel that the mark is important, moreso than the result of your intentions. So.. there are atheists running around. There are religious people, too. Some have morals + standards, others could give a shit. But I think that, by and large, those people who dedicate their lives to living for righteousness, including those religious people, can relate to eachother because so much of the truth that we find is the same. How you interpret it could be much different, but there are signs all over for you to read that say "you're not alone".

I appreciate your vote of confidence, but essentially, I want to be free. I, Markos, will not return to this world, but other lives will arise. I likewise wish to avoid other realms of suffering besides transmigation - Hells, although Hells clearly manifests in this world in lesser known places thaan The Killing Fields of Cambodia or the Death Camps of Poland and Germany. Those responsible for these Hells, as those who are responsible for the centuries of horror perpetrated in the name of Christ are all Children of Hell.
In Truth, we, existence itself, is IN God, and our task is to Realize it. Know Thyself, said Clement of Alexandria, and we know God, because at bottom our existence is as much derived from God in each moment as every wave is derived from the Ocean. This Gnosis brings thanksgiving, humility and gratitude, not pride, if it is understood correctly.

This is what I meant by righteousness. I beleive that it's important to remeber the gratitude and pride. It has really become a permanent mindset for me to be saying positive things about life and realizing that I need to approach things with an awareness of the oppurtunity at hand. It has really helped me alot to become more enlightened, as a buddhist would say. 
<3 to you Markos. I may not beleive in a higher power, but I feel that we could be good friends.
