Is it not true that those who believe in god will find only the god they believe in? And is it not also the case that any god the petty mind can conceive of is a petty god? Last, if all of that is so, then is not belief in god a form of spiritual suicide since it would condemn us to -- at the very best -- find nothing beyond our own petty, projected idea of god?
I suggest that the starting point for someone searching for the truth is to read, research and think.
At the initial stage there are 2 main options:
a) Either God exists, and we do have a Creator, or
b) God does not exist, and we do not have a Creator
If one goes for the second option, then one would need to find a coherent answer to the question (where do we and this amazing universe come from?), which no non-believer in God has so far been able to answer
If on the other hand one is convinced that this amazing universe must have a Creator, then the second stage would be which god? (i.e. which faith is correct?)
This is where comparative religion and research is needed to find out which of the world's religion is the truth and when that is answered this would be the faith to follow
Why do you think that this process would be spiritual suicide?
