I was raised fairly religious, yet as I get older I find more non-mystical explanations for things in the world....for example, the belief in Karma, I came to realize that Karma is probably not some invisible force that comes back to haunt people, but that peoples own actions will eventually catch up to them.....I am finding more and more "secular" and non-religious explanations for everything and I am not even trying to....I am less of a "believer" now than I ever was....now I think "creation" is the silliest mythical story ever!
In a way I am torn on the inside, I want to believe in a God and believe in invisible forces beyond our control, just because it makes our purpose so much easier to grasp, when in reality I think our purpose is even more unknown...and I don't want to pretend to have the answers and live my life doubting everything......
My question is basically how do I find a balance in this, I am torn between my religious upbringing and my secular outlook on life?
