Don't believe what you don't believe

I had a realization this morning. I have always had a very deep sense of insecurity and self-doubt. This has transferred itself to my spirituality. Although I came to disbelieve in an anthropomorhic God, I always had a sense of shame about it, which I would try to eliminate by loudly arguing with and belittling people that disagreed with me. However, I think the way forward is to truly be comfortable with my own beliefs.

In this spirit I recommend that people reading this site, essentially my friends and family, only take away what is useful to them, and reject what they need to. By the same token I expect them to bring up what is useful to them from their own thoughts and experience. We must each use our own judgment as to what is useful.
