But my logical mind can never bring me to fully adhere to the beliefs, or my morals cannot accept some aspect of doctrine or the behaviour of followers. I seek certainty and truth, and I haven't come across a religion that isn't obviously man made and imperfect.
If I had been raised in a religion I would probably follow the external requirements as I find ritual soothing and I would respect that it is the path of my ancestors. But I find that i belong to no faith, so nothing feels like home.
