Very interesting thoughts. We might be missing the point here. In this case, searching for YOUR truth while looking to fit inside an EXISTING religious construct seems counterproductive. You could also pull from 10 different sources and come up with the most beautiful system invented, only to have it used by others to manipulate. I myself after searching, have found great happiness with Christianity but there are plenty of Christians I want nothing to do with. At the end of it all, we are all just people prone to the worst of human nature, no matter what teachings we follow.
