Hey Missluckie the reason we have so many different ways of being spiritual/ non-spiritual, religions/ non-religious, rational / non-rational, etc. etc. is that there are so many different ways of being human. The diversity of our humanity is what makes it creative and wonderful and interesting to be human.
The joke of life is that often some of us are born into families, cultures, social communities that do NOT work for our personal psyche, temperament, mind, emotions, needs, whatever. The good part is that we can go off and find the kind of people we do fit with and make our own family and community with them.
Then we can see those other people as just another curiosity.
having passed through many states of believing I was right I have come to the place of finding "rightness" rather irrelevant to the project of becoming human
