I'm sure this feeling of having a spiritual relationship with a higher being is very real. I can't imagine you haven't explored other possible reasons for it however (reasons other than a god). If you were to come up with say, 5 other equally likely reasons, would you/could you logically conclude that it being a god was an underdog?

I'm actually starting to come around in my thinking that believing in a god isn't necessarily a bad thing. Certainly not for people who aren't blessed with friends and loved ones, or lack for a sense of belonging. The fact is, religion and churches will always be a harmless, productive thing to them.

Of course, I feel differently about fanatics and even people like NotReady who are above average in intelligence and make no excuse or apologies when it comes to suspending logic in defense of their beliefs. I just think it's dangerous to think, "I am right. No matter what you say, no matter what science ways, no matter what evidence may come to light. My way is the only way. Everyone else is wrong!".

I'm winding down in what I have to say about the topic of religion and God. I'm not sure there's been a single believer who has been convinced otherwise on this forum, despite the abundant wealth of logic which has been offered in refutation. I'm not sure anything can or will be solved in such debates.

I have however, found an organiztion called the "Brights". It seems to be a peaceful campaign to organize non-believers and bring them out of the closet to bring rationality to the civilized world. So far, I think it's a good cause and will probably join.

Sorry, most of this has nothing to do with you bunny -lol. I'm just thinking out loud in what if anything, I want to do in the way of promoting free thinking when it comes to religion. I do think it's an important subject. Very important. I have kids that will have to grow up in this world. Political wars are bad enough as a real possibility. Cataclysmic events caused by imaginary beings is that much more terrifying. At leas to me.
