Working backwards.

[Mystic]

Given the large number of religions and even the misrepresentations of the those religions there are, "growing religious" means nothing to this approach.   Religious actually would be opposite to this approach, because, it just assumes one's religion is true without proof or investigation into other paths and religions.

But you have the right one... just like everyone else says. Try again.

Also, you're saying a lot about misrepresentations when you just misrepresented me. I didn't just say I grew up religious. I said I gave it serious consideration for at least two decades.

If there is a true religion, those claiming is to be true, would be claiming it while others would be claiming false religions to be true.

Giving it consideration means what exactly? How did you study? Did you break down questions into smaller questions. Did you investigate those questions? Did you make notes when studying a holy book? Did you try to see things in there?

Tell me how you approached it.
