I bow to thee

I have never really been religious ever since I can remember. Yes, as a kid, parents and school taught me to bow before a God but I started questioning soon. I'm not really sure when I became an agnostic/atheist (depending on which day you ask me) but I know I was never religious. I've hardly been to a temple except when forced by my dad. Even before I had the sense to see through the biggest farce called religion I remember arguing with my dad that if I really want to pray I don't need to go to a temple since I can do that at home.

(I still haven't won that one!!)

And his response was never really much of an argument but more of a sulky expression overflowing with distaste at my ridiculous notions and never being one to lose ground it just resulted in a nasty argument(One of the few I've had with dad). In the end my mom would convince me to just go since ya dad wanted me to and it takes just a bit of my time and effort. Noone ever understood that it doesn't change what I believe!! Even today we have the same scene over and over again.

I cannot have the same faith he has and he can't accept that. In fact it takes all my patience and effort to keep my absolute disdain in check considering some of the people I've met. Mom on the other hand is more of a rational believer if that is possible. I prefer her way of thinking since she doesn't take rituals and rites for their face value. She doesn't have much patience for those but rather has a deeper spiritual and philosophical approach to religion and God.

Anywho I was distracted there and that was not the point of this post.

The point was this video. (Yes, I've wanted to put up a video for quite sometime and finally I've found something I would really like to post!! :D) This chap is BRILLIANT. One of the best I've ever seen. And I bow to him.
