In the movie The Matrix, Neo awakens and ends up flushed down in a sewer. This is the most precise depiction of someone who managed to wake up from bullshit and learn the truth. When you are in the know, you can no more enjoy almost anything. The more you know, the less you are able to be functional in society. I clearly remember enjoying life before learning the truth. The problem is that you have no choice. If you are unaware, you are risking your life everyday like unaware cattle.

If you turn to Jesus, you can deal with it.

That's why religion exists -- because without a spiritual component in human society, existence is meaningless and pointless. Now, atheists will tell you that there is no reason to believe such a thing as spirituality is real. But they have no basis to insist that it is unreal, either. Nobody knows what God is, but it makes at least as much sense to assume that there is a spiritual force that created and guides us as it does to maintain that there is nothing.

I have started trying to drop my use of the word "religious" because in most instances I really mean "Christian".
