With all the religions out there, each one claiming its the only true one and if you don't believe it your damned forever, the likelihood is that they are all manmade with the intention of explaining the unexplainable, trying to hold you accountable for your actions, and to provide advice and stories to illustrate philosophies on living a good life. I can accept believing in a higher power. But why is it so bad for me to admit that I really just don't know? Why have a relationship with God that is probably based on a manmade construct? What is wrong with trying to define your own relationship with God? Or just saying I don't know, but I think this could be true. You could even still take the Bible, Koran, etc. and use it as a guidebook and advice on how to live your life/be a good person. But to just take them as the word of god when the evidence and logic point to it being manmade seems absurd. Why not admit you dont know and that you/we are on a journey of discovery?
