As a Syncretic religious person, it's self-explanatory for me but....:
Do you believe that a (or, your) single religion can quantify universal truth, in a theological sense, or do you believe (like me) that religion in general offer (contradictory, which isn't necessarily bad) different...
I have been studying a diverse range of religions for quite some time, for a while even thinking that I identified as something specific. I was an atheist at one point, then I became an agnostic, then I became a theist (or pantheist), now back in agnostic territory. What I've found is that after...
