I don't subscribe to any sort of organized religion. I was raised a Catholic but drifted away from the church long ago. My delema if you will is with any person espousing the beliefs of their religion without being able to see the greater picture. Christianity is young when compared to other major religions yet Christians claim the only true God. What about everyone else, are they all wrong? Are Animists wrong? Bhudists, Shintoists(please forgive any mistakes I might make in identifying beliefs) Moslims, Taoists? How can you be so self assured? With so many beliefs in this great and diverse world, how can you subcribe to only one? I don't claim to be a student of religion or to have been exposed to many but I have trouble putting all my eggs in one basket. How much are we missing out on by not opening our horizons and embracing all that the people of the world have to offer?
