The root of all evil?

I’ve been to lectures, attended sermons, read pamphlets, worked my way through significant parts of the Bible, and its sequel, The Koran. I have even tried to discuss faith rationally with those who profess to have it. I have tried to find the light.

But. It has come down to the crunch, and I am far from convinced. I approach the subject in hope of finding spiritual comfort to fill that all too human desire that no amount of materials can satisfy. But I refuse to fill that space in my life with doctrines of suspicion and hatred. The only conditions under which I could accept organised religion is if I applied the blinkers and overlooked its past, present and future wrong doings. I will not become a criminal by association.

This closes the doors of mainstream religion but opens the doors for those other groups with a less doctrinal and centralised approach.

I'll keep looking for the light.
