To start with I’m not a religious person. Meaning I don’t strictly follow the religious activities, I do constantly question the practises. I don’t know whether I’m an atheist or an agnostic. But I do believe there could be some powerful entity. Could be a god, family of gods or nature.
When I was living abroad for the work purpose, I need a social interaction. That made me to visit temple every week, almost. I do consider myself a rational person, so the conventional prayers like asking the God to give this or that made no sense. After all it is an all knowing entity. Doesn’t it knows what should be given to me?
