I don't consider myself religious. Religiosity is gross. I continually gravitate to Jesus because He literally came to restore our relationship to God. (That's a big discussion but, that's as simply as I can put it.)
Raves are nothing new. If you didn't know, most "pagan" religious rites involved most elements of modern raves. But... That's literally manufactured experience and not at all what I seek, even if it can be a significant experience. I find that many of the same manipulative techniques are used in most modern churches in the US. Totally skeeves me out, cuz at least if I'm going to a rave, I know what I'm going for.
Experientialism is another issue entirely.
I just seek authentic relationship. S'why I like so many nostriches. They just are. The share the stuff they like. We can laugh and cry and help and even try to correct bad behavior together.
More than any other religious practices or ideologies, I've found that the most in being a follower of Jesus, trying to live up to His impossible standard, and trying to learn to love myself as He loves me, despite me being a huge retard most of the time. Ain't nothing else like that, IMO.
