IF NOT RELIGIOUS, WHY PRAY?

If 'LORD' means owner, then MY BRAIN IS MY LORD.
If 'GOD' means ruler, then MY BRAIN IS MY RULER.

If 'religious' means belief in something supernatural,
then I am NO LONGER religious.

Yet, I still pray, and I still say 'THANK YOU LORD'
and 'THANK YOU GOD.'
But who or what, you might ask, is it to whom I pray?
I PRAY TO MY LORD, which is MY GOD.

For me, prayer is no superstitious act.
When I pray, it is an act of self-suggestion
or communication with my subconscious mind.
I am communicating more deeply with my inner self.

A communal prayer achieves a similar purpose
for all in attendance.

So, I AM NO LONGER RELIGIOUS;
but, I AM VERY THOUGHTFUL;
and, I DO STILL PRAY.
