What you believe is not necessarily your religion.

“What you believe is not necessarily your religion.”

True, and not formally choosing a set of religion beliefs does not mean you are not open to the idea that there is a spiritual realm that we can’t see.

I know tons of people who (like me) are in awe of the miracles of nature and creation, and have huge respect for the boundless things beyond their knowledge - but they aren’t interested in choosing a specific set of beliefs to fill that knowledge gap.

Instead, they are fine with not knowing things that can’t be known.

Too many religious people present a false choice: namely, that you must either believe exactly what they believe, down to the finest detail, or you are in denial of the spiritual realm.

I am not in denial of anything - I just believe there is a great deal we can’t know. I imagine there are lots of unknown things that are infinitely amazing and wonderful - but I don’t see much point in people pushing their imaginings on each other as though they know everything.

I do know there are many idols and false gods.
