Does the effort to communicate with God make a person sane or insane? I really want to know the answer to that. And the only way to find out is to make the effort – which I’ve been doing for at least 48 years. So far, I’ve found no conclusion. But I can offer myself as evidence to anyone else asking the question.

If one’s concept of God is incorrect, that effort can definitely make one insane, as evidenced by Crusades, Inquisition, 9/11, Taliban, etc. But if one detaches all dogmatic assertions about the nature of God, and tries to communicate and cooperate with whatever Being is in charge of the human species, what then? If there is no such Being, then it’s a stupid thing to do, because it causes me to imagine unnecessary behavioral restrictions. If there is, then it’s still a stupid thing to do, unless there’s an afterlife in which one is rewarded for behaving correctly.
