I guess I was fortunate. I was raised with lots of love and Ethics, but no religion. Also, as I offer in My signature in all My articles, I was taught to never believe ANYTHING. Dad told Me to place probabilities and adjust them as new data come along, asking the question, "Does that explain what I see?," when evaluating data. Never give anything 100% or 0%, because there's always the possibility I don't have all the data.

So I place probabilities of truth, and in this way, do not attach to anything as "TRUE!" or "FALSE!" When One is attached, it is very difficult let go when confronted with data that show the attachment to be erroneous.

As for religion? I did have a spiritual experience, and I offer it here:

They want Us waiting for some Other to "fix it" rather than moving Ourselves to fix it...

There are really only 3 reasons books are written, to influence people with ideology opinion or instruction, to entertain, to make money , sometimes, most times all 3 are intertwined. Books of the past including the Bible are no different than all these articles on the net. Question everything. And yes changing ones mind and perspective is not a crime, nor a sin. Listening to someone else's perspective is not only healthy it is essential even if you dont align or agree. Your perspective is very very 👍
