When I read the Upanishads, which are part of Vedanta, I found a profundity of worldview that made my Christianity seem like third grade.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From a young kid, I was quite interested in religion.
I know that what I see in every religious person is not something I want to teach my kids.
Out of 3,500 students in my high school, I was the only openly professing Christian kid. Obviously there were challenges. 'Only old and stupid people believe.'
I've dabbled in several different religions.
The world of religion isn't a logical world; that's why children like it. It's a world of worked-out fantasies, very similar to children's stories or fairy tales.
I also found that for myself, since I've had no religious education, it was so interesting to see the different versions of heaven and what life on earth means.
I grew up with a very religious background.
From a young age, I saw and placed importance on spirituality within religion.
I wasn't looking for religion; I was looking for a world view.
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.
