Re: religion never used to terrify me.

as bit said, Buddhism is probably the best way to go. buddha wasn't directly related to gOD as jesus was, like Muhammad; only a prophet. christians and muslims are praying to god for forgiveness, to wash away their sins, confessions and all that bullshit. buddhism, you can not only practice another religion at the same time, but you aren't really praying to god exactly, more to nature*waits for someone to compare god to nature*.

buddhists know that everyone has evil in them, and it can't be helped, that's what meditation is about. they fucking know they're always gonna be evil, so meditation is a way to gather all of your evil, put it aside and then just live in a temporary state away from all that self-indulgence and self-mortification guano. there are of course different stages of meditation, but it requires a poopload of practice to get to the highest stage (dhyana), where you basically feel like pure spiritual ecstacy is having a tea party anywhere that doesn't make this seem like inuendo.

I've actually tried meditating once and I failed without question. you apparently have to be in synch with nature and all that shenanigans but I just couldn't do it. now hypnosis is where meditation is basically handed to you, and your mind is just waiting for some latent garbage to be thrown at you, but definitely not as extreme as meditation.

I think I'll end it there, because I have no idea how I got from buddhism being the superior religion to what hypnosis is. my knowledge of relgion is pretty gay too, so I won't go any further before my credibility lands in the toilet.
