Quahom suggested this question might be for all, and so I am creating a new thread and re-posting it. Please ignore those aspects of the post that do not apply to you, or feel free to comment on them, or to redefine them so that they can apply to you.
"It is one thing to expect religion to help you grow closer to God, however S/He/It is defined, to gain a greater sense of spirituality. It is another thing to expect God to become your servant and fetch you your paper every morning, your waiting coffee nice and hot in the kitchen. What is it that you expect from God and why?
Is there a way that you, as a person wary about investing in religion right now, already have ideas about the nature of God, how He functions, and the relationship between God and man, what the "deal" should be?
What qualifies as an answer from God to you and what doesn't?"
