New theistic chew toys wanted!

I wouldn't characterize my experience as disillusionment and I am certainly not bitter. It was more like basic disagreement with the concepts. It took me a while to understand that no religion is pure. Religion is imbued with all sorts of cultural baggage and I later learned that much of the aspects that I couldn't abide were in fact cultural. But in that church, the two were indistinguishable, so to accept one is to accept all. So I decided to look elsewhere for a better fit. The problem was that the more shoes I tried on, the more I realized I liked going barefoot.
