Religion... I looked into lots. My default from my peer group was atheism. All the usual objections that you'll find repeated on these forums. My parents weren't anything. I opted out of Sunday School early on and they had no opinion either way really. I very naturally moved into paganism and animism. My absolute favourites from my non committal study, and what was readily available on them, are still aboriginal and american indian spiritualism. That stuff just rocks.
I got a job (as a musical instrument repairer, it was a natural progression from making various instruments for me) with a Christian who was the first person I'd ever met who was seriously commited and could actually explain his faith. Sometimes I took a look at myself and wondered how the hell I'd ended up at this, and I'd never choose it, whilst also recognising that this was also exactly me and a culmination of my own reasoning path. I gave up that faith a few years later, and still now, some 20 years later I still identify with the understanding I worked out back then.
In an effort to understand fr0ds .... Your current belief is 'correct' because it makes sense to you?
