Are you religious?

I pray to God fervently every day, but I am not religious. I got a very large dose of religion during my childhood. My family belonged to a Pentecostal church, and we praised God in church three times a week -- more than that during revival meetings. In the end, I had an allergic reaction and walked away. When God finally found me for real, I was on a naked hillside in the Montana badlands, and there were no church steeples to be seen.

What is the essence of life?

Darned if I know.
