Understood. I'll keep my comments in check.
@ardjin
I apologize for snapping at you earlier. I've been knee-deep in reading several updates regarding the church's sex abuse cases recently, and it has left me rather revolted at the matter of faith, especially one that claims the moral high ground.
I realize that you didn't deserve to be on the receiving end of my mood, and I'm sorry. Peace?
As for Rick Warren, yes I did read the book. His dubious background aside, I can't really agree with his writings, about all that I do being meant for the one singular purpose glorifying god. You may find that fulfilling, I find that rather depressing - it destroys the mystery of discovery and learning in its denial of the world's diversity.
As for your second advice of us finding god before it's too late, I'd like to share a food for thought: Pascal's Wager http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_Wager
