Some Questions for Believers

Spirituality doesn't require God or religious mythology. But that's why it works for people of all faiths and practices. I respect your acknowledgment that faith is antithetical to logic, and for that matter, science, but it is for that reason I can't in earnest draw a religion out of a hat and run with it as if it offers any security and comfort, especially that which the entire world would benefit to recognize. Aside from the well-being of society and the planet, I'm rather concerned about what's truth.

Understood. But even as a Catholic I need to rely on God, discernment and my "true" conscience as my guide. God doesn't live in a Religion, nor in a church, or a book. To really start to understand, we need to transcend all things human. And that means ALL humans. Everything man touches is suspect. There is a path to Him.... but not an easy one. And I personally feel that is by design.

You seem like a "spiritual" being in the sense of your earnest search. I hope you find your truthful answers. Ron
