There's

to prove that there is any type of higher power or afterlife. It's a matter of faith, of
believing in a sight and truth unseen that makes religion possible at all. Throughout the
centuries, there have been so many interpretations of religion; however, it's interesting to
observe how the core of common beliefs in what makes "goodness" pop up again and

I am
heartened to see the examples of tolerance set by the posters above and have to add my two cents
to the mix. I do consider myself a spiritual person, but I live by the idea that there is one
truth, many paths to it. If God truly is God, then the human mind has not the slightest prayer
(nointended) of actually comprehending and delininating all the complexities and nuances of
something so much more vastly infinite and powerful than ourselves. It's likely that none of us
has it exactly right. But our attempts to make a connection to something more make us aspire to
be the best humans we can be, according to our own approximations of
godliness.
