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.
I approached it by reading into the texts with any interpretation I could find, asking questions wherever I could, investigating and evaluating any religious claim I came across, and really attempting to connect with the divine beings that were supposed to exist. I even actively believed for a while until it ended up going nowhere. Nothing came of any of it in the end.
But that's probably not enough for you, is it? If you want me to try anything at this point, give me something solid to work with. Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me.
Ok I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but as you grow is there a limit to what you can learn? Is there questions you might not have posed? Is there angles you have not thought about?
I would give this approach a retry time to time in life. Never say, I already asked all the right questions, and there was no proper answer.
I believe the family of the reminder is best suited to answer the questions of humanity, for they not only know the answers, but are most eloquent in explaining them. I cannot convince you to search for what they say...all I can say, is to give religion a chance.
