Jeanie,

So have I. I find no contradiction here, no logical trap, no denial of the wonders of existence. Personally I find most religions rather confining for any God I can envisage, but I think they all have some kernels of truth.

One has to wonder what the purpose is served by so many different religions, so many different sects within each religion, if it isn't to make you think out side the box each presents.

There are many paths to the top of a mountain.

Enjoy.
