Cons- Being caught up in ritual but not really having a experience of the eternal. Self righteous attitude, not being able to acknowledge or see your own bad behaviour. Seeing others as the antichrist or infidels. Pros Having a spiritual experience which confirms there is more to existence than "matter." Which in turn changes how you respond to life, as it becomes clear there is a purpose for everyone, and open to everyone, if and when they are interested. Statistics show that those who Pray and have a belief in God, live 5 years longer than those who don't. Atheists can sometimes have more chance of having a direct experience with the eternal, because having no belief in God or the eternal, is still a standpoint which is in alignment and defined by God, ie No belief in God. The eternal doesn't care how you come at it, as long as you are looking for Truth.
