Answer #1

I’ll give you my perspective on this, as I’ve seen faith from both sides now (apologies to Judy Collins)…

Back in my fundy Christian days, I used to think there really were good and evil forces fighting over my soul. I attributed the ecstatic feeling I got from prayer to the forces of good (aka God) winning, and I attributed doubt and temptation to the forces of evil (aka Satan).

But then, as I climbed out of the dark pit of faith (you would call it sliding toward apostasy), I began to realize that the spiritual war had never been anything more than my own internal ethical battles. I found I could reproduce that exact same feeling of ecstasy at will even without prayer or meditation - something I probably never would have learned on my own - and I realized that it’s actually ok to give in to temptation, as long as I’m ok with the consequences.
