I am not that into Q per se. I get a little overwhelmed with it all.
However, I was able to piece together things that I already questioned into a more coherent picture.
For example, my grandmother told me about the gold confiscation. She saved a small $20 gold coin from the 1800's and had handed it down to me. I remember thinking that the story just did not make sense and that something else must have been going on behind the scenes (conspiracy theorist that I was). Turns out I was right all along.
Pieces of history that just didn't make sense, all make sense now that I am awake. The truth was there all along, we were just diverted from asking too much.
As for God, that is a much bigger thing. I found my way back to him but in a much different way than most. I went from being a bible cracking southern Baptist to being agnostic then an atheist. I was never very fond of the atheist beliefs so I finally ended up as apatheist (An apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or rejecting any claims that gods exist or do not exist). I also take exception to praying for something. My relationship to God is not about me asking for things I need or want. It is about being overwhelmed by the beauty and majesty of his creation, loving it and letting him do what he does best and having the humility to accept it.

My two cents.
