[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not religious. I mostly feel like this is all a happy accident, though it's also simultaneously/paradoxically proof that there IS something bigger than me. I mean, what is all this &lt;looks around, waves hands&gt; if not something more than me?
I also know there is good, and evil, and a whole lot in between.

Sometimes I think about praying, as a way to tap into that something larger than myself. 
I've even done a few days, and then I stop. Mostly that's because I forget...but I think I forget because nothing happened the first couple of times. 
If I were to start praying daily regularly, would I begin to feel something? 
I guess the question is, does the belief have to come first? Or does the prayer itself unleash something?

Not sure if my question is making sense. [/quote]

We are Muslims and though I'm not religious myself, I feel people who pray regularly, get many benefits other than just a connection with the God. Ones who pray five times a day for spiritual reasons not just doing religious ritual, practice hygiene by keeping clothes clean and doing ablution 5 times a day, recite scripture from heart so good for memory and cognition, prayer motions are light exercise, get therapy by sharing their problems and hoping for blessings, tend to be charitable and kind.If they walk to a mosque to do prayer, they get daily steps, fresh air, sunlight and social interactions.

Obviously this isn't limited only to Muslim kind of prayer, every religion has similar benefits woven in their way of praying. If you started doing yours regularly, you'll either feel benefits or stop doing it so no harm in trying if you feel inclined or curious. [/quote]
