OK, I am going to play that old "spiritual, not religious" card. I am a scientist. The more I learn, scientifically, the less I believe it can all be some cosmic coincidence (seems like chaos would trump order to the degree that we see it, but that would be a whole new topic).
I think it takes more effort and "make believe" to think that mere humans, with our very limited capabilities, understand even the tip of the iceberg about the universe around us. Trying to explain all of reality based on what we sense/know seems one heck of a narrow minded leap.
I also suspect that our trying to grasp God is like asking an ant to get quantum physics.
However, I do not think that ANY person's God experience is more than the merest fraction of that reality. Thus, how can any one's experience be "the whole truth"? I see religions as human CONSTRUCTS to try to get our limited minds around this whole God idea (or God possibility?), and therefore valuable in a way. I further see that much of humanity has abused the whole religion concept as well, as a tool to force behaviors, control etc...
But we are limited to what we are. I will use what human capabilities I do possess to try to reach beyond what can be known, seeking a connection if you will. What I get from such seeking at any point in time might vary from what I glean at another point in time or what others do. This does not make any one view better or more right. It does make for some fascinating thinking and/or discussions, though.
Keeping on keeping on... (ever journeying),

PS - for what it's worth: I was raised Christian, fairly liberal (Disciples of Christ), but have about abandoned the label in light of what it seems to mean today: judgement, hypocrisy, bigotry, even hatred. I question that some Christians that I have known cannot believe that God is real and present, but have NO trouble believeing any unusual ideas that I might have come from satan (is he easier to believe in than God?). I also am confused by the worship of a human penned text instead of any real spiritual presence. And how convenient to make Jesus into a God so that we can worship him? Gotta wonder where that idolatry line really lies, if you ask me.
