I don't really know how I'd feel about it, either. I just think it's not really my place to pass judgement on them for trying to become closer to what they consider divine, however they choose to do that.

It gives their lives meaning; it gives pretty much everything they do meaning. I'm not going to try to discourage that or take that away from them, however I personally feel about it.
